On May 11, Morgan Stanley strategists stated in a report that if risk appetite improves, the dollar may weaken in the coming months. They noted that positive risk sentiment, bolstered by strong earnings in the U.S. stock market, has room to drive the dollar lower. However, they emphasized that this view is contingent on upcoming U.S. data not being too weak to lead to downward revisions in earnings expectations, nor too strong to spark discussions about Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Otherwise, the dollar is expected to benefit from the narrowing interest rate differential between the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. The DXY dollar index closed flat at 97.903, with Morgan Stanley forecasting the index to reach 95.000.

On May 11, the Solana core development team Anza announced that a major upgrade to the consensus mechanism named 'Alpenglow' has officially begun running on the community test network, marking the entry of the largest consensus architecture change in Solana's history into the practical testing phase. This upgrade allows validators to test the migration process from the current hybrid mechanism based on Proof-of-History (PoH) and TowerBFT to a new architecture in a real node environment. Developers refer to this transition process as 'Alpenswitch,' which means that validator nodes can smoothly transition to the new consensus system in the testing environment. The existing Solana architecture operates through the PoH timestamp mechanism and TowerBFT voting mechanism, excelling in high throughput and low fees, but has faced congestion and downtime issues during periods of high network load. The core goal of Alpenglow is to restructure the communication and block confirmation logic among validators to significantly enhance network response efficiency and reduce final confirmation times. Developers indicate that this mechanism is expected to shorten transaction final confirmation times from several seconds to near real-time levels. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko previously stated at Consensus Miami 2026 that if testing progresses smoothly, Alpenglow could potentially launch on the mainnet as early as next quarter. With the launch of the community test network, this upgrade has entered a critical validation phase, and the future performance and stability of the Solana network are now receiving significant market attention.

On May 11, the prediction market platform Polymarket reported that as of May 15, the probability of confirmed Hantavirus cases in the United States has risen to 72%, with trading volume exceeding $300,000.

The market primarily relies on official information from the U.S. CDC and similar sources for settlement, and overwhelming consensus reports from mainstream media can also serve as a reference. Hantavirus is primarily transmitted through rodents, and severe cases can lead to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). Current market expectations indicate that traders are betting on the potential announcement of new confirmed cases in the U.S. in the near future.

On the eve of a crucial vote by the Senate Banking Committee on comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation, American Bankers Association (ABA) CEO Rob Nichols issued an urgent letter to bank executives, calling for immediate outreach to senators to pressure for revisions to stablecoin-related provisions. The current draft fails to effectively prevent crypto firms from attracting stablecoin deposits through 'interest-like rewards,' which could lead to a massive shift of bank deposits to stablecoins, threatening economic growth and financial stability. He stated in the letter that this is 'an urgent advocacy battle that requires immediate action.' The Senate Banking Committee is expected to review and vote on the bill this Thursday, with the regulatory boundaries surrounding stablecoin yield mechanisms remaining one of the biggest points of contention.

On May 11, CNN reported that Iranian state media stated that Iran is demanding sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz in response to the United States' proposal to end the war. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a country has 'sovereign rights' to explore, develop, protect, and manage marine resources within its exclusive economic zone. However, 'all ships of all nations, whether coastal or landlocked, enjoy the right of innocent passage through the territorial sea.' The convention indicates that coastal states should not 'hamper the normal passage of foreign vessels in their territorial sea,' but this is limited to specific and defined circumstances. Coastal states may take necessary measures within their territorial sea to prevent unlawful passage.

On May 11, LatePost cited foreign media reports stating that Kuaishou plans to spin off its video generation large model business, Keling AI, and raise $2 billion at an estimated valuation of approximately $20 billion, with Tencent and other institutions participating in the negotiations.

According to exclusive reports from LatePost, Keling's current annual recurring revenue (ARR) has reached $500 million, doubling since before the Spring Festival and significantly exceeding Kuaishou's previous expectations. In early 2025, Kuaishou had set an annual revenue target of $60 million for Keling, but the final revenue reached $150 million. Kuaishou has established an independent incentive mechanism and a special option pool for Keling to cope with fierce competition from giants like ByteDance and Alibaba in the video generation sector. Currently, Keling's core team has also become a key target for talent acquisition in the AI video generation field. Keling is now ranked first in iOS drawing and design charts in nearly 40 countries and regions, including Brazil, Russia, and Singapore, and has become one of the highest-grossing graphic design applications in South Korea and Russia.

Goldman Sachs expects the ECB to raise policy rates by 25 basis points next week and provide more details on its sovereign bond market. Although the sharp depreciation of the euro, recent interest rate hikes by central banks and further rise in inflation expectations all suggest that a 50 basis point hike is possible, Goldman Sachs believes that a 25 basis point rate hike is still more likely. That's because the ECB's Governing Council has strongly guided for a 25 basis point rate hike. Growth prospects in Europe have weakened, and the European Central Bank has never in history raised rates at a discount rate below 70%.
