Ethereum core developers have tentatively selected November for the launch of Fusaka, the network’s next major hard fork, which is set to improve scalability, efficiency, and protection against attacks. The update will include 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals, such as EIP-7825, designed to strengthen the network’s resilience while improving performance. Developers also plan to increase Ethereum’s gas limit to 150 million, allowing more transactions per block.

Two public testnets are scheduled for September and October ahead of the Fusaka mainnet release. However, developers are under pressure to meet this timeline, especially with Devconnect taking place in Buenos Aires from November 17 to 22. Ethereum contributor Nixo urged tighter coordination for client releases to stay on track for the launch. Meanwhile, EIP-7907, which would have doubled contract code size, has been removed to simplify testing.

Looking ahead to the Glamsterdam upgrade, set for 2026, developers are considering major changes, including cutting block times in half to six seconds for faster decentralized applications. The Ethereum community continues to support gas limit increases to reduce costs and improve network scalability.

President Donald Trump has officially signed the GENIUS Act into law, setting a clear path for crypto growth in the United States. The new legislation outlines a regulatory framework for dollar-backed stablecoins and aims to turn the US into the global hub for Bitcoin and digital assets. Trump called the move a major revolution in financial technology and a victory for innovation and freedom in finance.

During the signing ceremony Trump highlighted his crypto achievements including stopping government crackdowns on Bitcoin and creating a US strategic Bitcoin reserve. He also reminded the public of his appearance at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville and reaffirmed his stance against central bank digital currencies. Trump thanked Senator Bill Hagerty and other supporters for pushing the law forward.

AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks said the GENIUS Act marks a turning point for the industry and gives US crypto firms the clarity they need. The law is expected to increase demand for US Treasuries and drive trading volume across digital asset markets. More crypto-friendly legislation is expected later this year.
