On May 21, Goldman Sachs released a research report indicating that Alibaba (09988.HK) is entering a new phase of significant investment in the AI agent era, as evidenced by the first day of the Alibaba Cloud Summit held in Hangzhou and the chairman and CEO's letter to shareholders released on the same day. Management emphasized that the industry is at a critical turning point in the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), where a large number of AI agents driven by model-generated tokens will take on a greater share of work and become the primary interface between humans and the digital world. The firm believes that a series of AI agent product offerings can support Alibaba's recently proposed annual recurring revenue (ARR) target for MaaS, aiming to reach 10 billion RMB in the June quarter and 30 billion RMB by the end of fiscal year 2027. Goldman Sachs believes that Alibaba's current valuation does not fully reflect its comprehensive AI layout and international cloud potential, expecting the group to increase investments in the AI enterprise and consumer sectors over the next 12 to 24 months while achieving double-digit profit growth. The firm maintains a buy rating on Alibaba and places it on the Asia-Pacific conviction buy list, with a 12-month target price of HKD 180.

On May 21, CNN reported that two sources familiar with US intelligence assessments stated that Iran has restarted some drone production during a six-week ceasefire that began in early April, indicating that Iran is quickly rebuilding certain military capabilities that were damaged due to US and Israeli strikes. Four sources indicated that US intelligence shows the pace of Iran's military rebuild is much faster than initially estimated. The rebuilding of Iran's military capabilities, including the replacement of missile sites, launch systems, and key weapon production capabilities destroyed in the conflict, means that if Trump were to resume bombing operations, Iran would still pose a significant threat to regional allies. This also raises questions about the long-term effectiveness of US and Israeli strikes in weakening Iran's military capabilities. A US official revealed that while the timelines for restarting production of different weapon components vary, some US intelligence estimates suggest that Iran could fully restore its drone attack capabilities within six months. 'The Iranians have surpassed all timelines set by the intelligence community for rebuilding,' said the US official.

On May 21, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that a new type has emerged in the crypto space: revenue chains. Hyperliquid and Solana are among the leaders in this area. While they share some similarities, they also have distinct differences. Both have outstanding communities, user bases, and use cases, among other attributes. I believe they will rise together, much like how iOS and Android benefited from the proliferation of mobile technology. In terms of revenue chains, they are riding the wave of capital markets going on-chain, and the timing is just right for them. The key to the success of Hyperliquid or Solana does not lie in their competition (though healthy competition is necessary), but rather in the rise of capital markets on-chain.

On May 21, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that a new category is emerging in the crypto industry—'revenue chains,' with Hyperliquid and Solana as the current leaders. He believes that while there is some overlap between the two, they each possess distinct characteristics and have strong communities, use cases, and user bases. He suggested that in the future, they might benefit from structural growth in the mobile internet, similar to iOS and Android. Horsley pointed out that 'revenue chains' are benefiting from the trend of capital markets going on-chain. Therefore, whether supporting HYPE, SOL, or both, the real importance lies not in competing with each other, but in the overall rise of on-chain capital markets. He stated, 'Support the on-chain capital market. It's great to see the crypto industry succeed.'

According to LedgerInsights, the U.S. Department of Commerce called for input on digital asset regulation, following President Biden’s Executive Order on digital assets. By Friday, just eight responses were received. Two banking bodies – the American Bankers Association and the Independent Community Bankers of America – called for stablecoin regulation and neither is keen on central bank digital currency (CBDC). Mastercard provided the only substantial response of 16 pages. The closing date for the consultation is today.
Mastercard believes that the United States has all the attributes to lead the global digital assets sector, except for the lack of regulatory clarity. Its response is very balanced, avoiding laying the blame at regulators’ feet by acknowledging some innovators’ ‘wild west disposition’. It notes the issue is not limited to the United States.
Mastercard went into the most detail regarding what might be included in U.S. trade agreements to enable digital assets. While the suggestions are helpful, one suspects much of it reflects obstructions that Mastercard is experiencing beyond digital assets.
