Author: Margaux Nijkerk Translation: Plain Language Blockchain Ethereum developers are planning the next round of improvements to the blockchain after successfully carrying out the Dencun upgrade, which is an important change that will reduce the cost of transactions on the Layer2 blockchain. Although the specifics of the next upgrade "Pectra" have not yet been finalized, developers have previously stated that their goal is to launch it while working on the next round of upgrades to the chain. "The idea of ​​Pectra is to try to find a series of small wins that can be achieved relatively quickly while we are also prototyping larger changes," Tim Beiko, head of protocol support at the Ethereum Foundation, told "The Protocol" podcast in an interview with CoinDesk. Attendees of Thursday's Ethereum All Core Developers Call - a biweekly meeting of the blockchain's major developers - said that "Pectra" may include Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 3074, a set of code change proposals designed to improve the user experience (UX) of Ethereum wallets. Specifically, the proposal will allow users to batch transactions and sign them all at once. Another major change that may occur in "Pectra" will be to increase the collateral limit of validators from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH - a 64-fold increase. The proposal, called EIP-7251, would allow large stakers like Coinbase or Lido to consolidate their validators operating on the Ethereum blockchain — while enabling them to avoid the constant creation of new validators every time they stake another 32 ETH. According to Dune Analytics, there are currently more than a million validators operating on the Ethereum network, which has raised concerns about excessive delays. Developers have been looking for ways to slow the rate at which new validators enter the system, which could overburden the system. EIP 2751 is seen as a way to reduce the operational burden on large stakers, consolidate the number of validators on the blockchain, and allow stakers to reduce the resources deployed to staking and validating. The name "Pectra" is a portmanteau of two upgrades that are being carried out simultaneously on different layers of the blockchain. The execution layer, where the protocol rules are enforced, will undergo the "Prague" upgrade, while the consensus layer, which ensures blocks are validated, will undergo the "Electra" upgrade.Ethereum developers are known for their way of merging upgrades, like the previous "Dencun" upgrade, calling the simultaneous Deneb and Cancun upgrades "Dencun" (and previously "Shapella"). Ethereum's naming convention follows the different cities where Devcon is held for the execution layer, and for the consensus layer, the names of stars...

Odaily Planet Daily News: China Asset Management, Bosera Fund Management and other applicants announced in their WeChat official accounts earlier today that they have been approved in principle to list Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs in Hong Kong. However, these announcements appear to have preceded the official statement of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), which has not yet announced the list of approved issuers, or affected by this, some of the articles have been deleted. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission did not respond to emails or calls seeking comment. QCP Capital, a digital asset trading agency in Singapore, said it believes that these ETFs will release some institutional demand during Asian trading hours after they are approved in Hong Kong. "Participants who want to invest have been limited to the US time period, but now this provides institutional investors with an option based on the Asian time period," QCP wrote. "We believe this will be bullish in the short term, but there are more important factors and drivers, such as macro events." (CoinDesk)
