The expansion of blob capacity further reduces Layer 2 transaction costs. BPO forks are designed to balance the bandwidth constraints of solo stakers with the growing data availability needs of Layer 2 solutions, enabling more scalable blob transactions. Since BPO forks don’t require a hard fork, they can be activated for scaling as needed.Morgan Stanley Files Ethereum ETFInvestment bank Morgan Stanley filed a new Form S-1 with the SEC to gain approval for its Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust, which will directly hold spot ETH.
