The Fed should be involved in the regulation of stablecoins. The head of the department stated this, Jerome Powell, during a speech before the Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives.
Powell believes that it would be a mistake to leave the Fed with "weak" powers in the segment and allow the creation of a large amount of private money at the state level. He is confident that his office should take part in approving the issuance of stablecoins in the United States.

Ethereum Foundation researcher Michael Noider has several reasons why this should be done. He stated that while the current validator limit promotes decentralization, it deliberately leads to an increase in the size of the set of validators. And increasing the limit can slow down the expansion of the active set of validators. Ultimately, this will improve the efficiency of the network.
In addition, he added that the increase to 2048 ETH will introduce the possibility of automatic rewards for validators. Currently, the income of more than 32 ETH must be redirected to other sources to provide at least some income from staking. However, if the limit is lifted and increased, these rewards can be automatically reinvested, providing validators with an efficient means to earn more from staking ETH.
