54,000 Wallet Records Leaked as CLARITY Odds Drop to 10%: Digest

With the US Congress entering the final stretch of its legislative calendar, the odds of the proposed CLARITY Act have dropped sharply—according to Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn, down to just 10% for passage in 2026 from a much higher estimate in May. The change underscores how fragile the bill’s political pathway has become, and what could follow if lawmakers fail to deliver “rules of the road” for crypto markets. As the clock tightens, attention is shifting toward regulatory contingency plans. If CLARITY does not advance, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are expected to move independently—while crypto firms and major industry stakeholders continue pushing for coordinated outcomes. Separate threads are also unfolding across cyber defense, prediction-market oversight, Ethereum’s post-quantum roadmap, and stablecoin auditing. Key takeaways Galaxy Digital cut its CLARITY Act passage estimate for 2026 to 10%, down from 75%...

Ethereum Developers to Trim 66 Hegotá Upgrade Proposals

Ethereum’s core development team is evaluating a large backlog of proposed changes as it prepares the next major network upgrade, Hegotá . Developers say they are currently reviewing 66 proposals , with several focused on adding new on-chain capabilities for privacy-oriented applications. Among the items being considered are a set of Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) that, if adopted, would add “native privacy” primitives—potentially reducing the need for privacy apps to depend on third-party workarounds. Ethereum Foundation contributor Toni Wahrstätter outlined the case in a Sunday post on X, arguing that proposals could help enable privacy functionality directly at the protocol level. Key takeaways Ethereum developers are reviewing 66 proposals for Hegotá , with multiple EIPs tied to privacy enhancements. FOCIL (EIP-Failed by inclusion list concept) is currently the only EIP explicitly scheduled for Hegotá, according to the discussion referenced in the source. Additional...

Ethereum Developers Propose Cutting 66 Hegotâ Upgrade Items

Ethereum core developers are narrowing down a broad set of proposals for the next major upgrade, dubbed “Hegotá,” as they work toward shipping a package intended to improve the network’s robustness and expand what privacy-focused applications can do on-chain. The review process covers 66 proposals in total, with several of them centered on adding privacy-related capabilities to Ethereum. According to a Sunday post on X by Ethereum Foundation contributor Toni Wahrstätter, the only Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) currently scheduled for Hegotá is FOCIL (Fork-choice enforced inclusion lists). Wahrstätter also argued that additional privacy-adjacent EIPs— Frame Transactions (EIP-8141), Keyed Nonces (EIP-8250), and Recent Roots for Frame Transactions (EIP-8272)—should be considered alongside FOCIL to “unlock native privacy,” enabling privacy applications to function without depending on intermediaries. Key takeaways Ethereum developers are reviewing 66 proposals to define the scop...
