3. Ethereum Researcher Proposes EIP-7922 to Increase Flexibility in Ethereum Exit Queue
BlockBeats reports, on April 2, Ethereum researcher mikeneuder.eth proposed EIP-7922 to improve the validator exit queue in Ethereum, enhancing exit flexibility and efficiency while ensuring system security.
Currently, Ethereum adopts a fixed exit limit per epoch (about 16 exits), which can ensure economic security by controlling the number of exits and preventing a security drop. However, when exit demand surges, validators need to wait for a long time, increasing liquidity risk and capital costs.
EIP-7922 proposes dynamically adjusting the exit limit based on recent actual exit situations (e.g., if there are fewer exits in the past two weeks, more exits can be allowed currently to reduce waiting time), replacing the fixed limit. The proposal is currently in the draft stage.

Industry Dynamics
1. U.S. House Financial Services Committee Votes to Approve Stablecoin Regulation Bill
The U.S. House Financial Services Committee voted on Wednesday to advance a major bill regulating stablecoins. The bill, titled "Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy" (known as STABLE), was approved by the committee with a vote of 32 in favor and 17 against. It aims to create a framework for dollar-denominated stablecoins.
2. U.S. SEC Issues Guidance on Stablecoins, States "Regulated Stablecoins" Are Not Securities
Golden Finance reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Corporation Finance division has just released guidance on stablecoins. The agency coined a new term - "Covered Stablecoins," referring to those that maintain a stable value of 1:1 against the dollar and can be exchanged at a 1:1 ratio for dollars (i.e., one stablecoin for one dollar), supported by low-risk, highly liquid assets in reserve with a dollar value equal to or exceeding the redemption value of stablecoins in circulation. The division states that "Covered Stablecoins" are not offered or sold as investment contracts, and those participating in the "minting" and redemption processes do not need to register transactions with the commission, thus not falling under SEC's regulatory scope. The Block analysts point out that USDT and USDC fall under the category of "Covered Stablecoins." The statement does not cover algorithmic stablecoins, yield-based stablecoins, or stablecoins that track the value of assets other than dollars.
