Foresight News reported that Vitalik Buterin tweeted that in 2026, Ethereum will systematically address issues related to privacy and data. This includes lowering the threshold for running full nodes with the help of ZK-EVM and BAL; verifying the authenticity of RPC returned data through Helios; using ORAM and PIR to request data from RPC without revealing specific content; promoting social recovery wallets and time locks to reduce the risk of fund loss after private key compromise; achieving privacy payments with the same experience as regular transfers; enhancing privacy and censorship resistance under ERC-4337, future native account abstraction, and FOCIL; and promoting on-chain application interfaces based on IPFS to reduce reliance on centralized servers.

Foresight News reported, citing crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, that sources revealed the White House may consider withdrawing its support for the CLARITY Act if a certain exchange fails to propose an effective plan to return to negotiations. The White House is reportedly furious about the exchange's previous "unilateral" actions, as it was apparently not notified in advance. The White House described this move as a "sudden reversal" for both the White House and the entire industry.

Galaxy Digital CEO Michael Novogratz stated in an interview with CNBC that the CLARITY Act should be pushed forward even if it is not perfect, as it can be amended in the future. He believes that a compromise will eventually be reached on the bill, which, although not necessarily ideal for the crypto industry, is still acceptable. He emphasized that the passage of the bill is a necessary condition for the industry's development.
