Polkadot OpenGov is voting on a major adjustment to the network staking architecture. Referendum 1890 proposes that validators lock at least 10,000 DOT of their own funds as self-stake. This is a mandatory prerequisite for the next staking upgrade, which will allow nominators to no longer bear the risk of penalties and confiscation. The unbonding period will be shortened from approximately 28 days to 24–48 hours. Once approved, validators will bear the risk of penalties and confiscation, while nominators can continue to earn staking rewards without exposing their principal, thereby reducing participation risk and speeding up exit.

CryptoWorld News, If the U.S. "Clear Act" becomes law, it will officially classify Ethereum as a digital commodity, placing it under the regulation of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), thereby stripping the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of its authority to regard Ethereum as a security, ending years of regulatory ambiguity. The bill explicitly categorizes most blockchain-native tokens, including Ethereum, as "digital commodities," provided their underlying networks are sufficiently decentralized and functional. The bill states that digital commodities are "digital assets whose value is closely related to the programmed operations of the cryptosystem and derived from them," while securities remain under SEC jurisdiction. The bill also explicitly lists 16 tokens considered as digital commodities, including Ethereum. Once the bill passes, Ethereum's legal status will no longer be that of a security, and the CFTC will have exclusive regulatory authority over Ethereum's spot and cash markets.
