On May 11, local time Monday morning, Trump stated that he watched CBS News' '60 Minutes' interview with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling the program 'quite good,' but he disagreed with Netanyahu's assertion that 'no one can fully foresee Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz.' Trump responded, 'I can foresee it. I know they will close the strait. It's their only weapon. Now it's not much of a weapon, but it is still their only weapon.' He also mentioned that if it weren't for previously providing assistance to certain countries at their request, the U.S. could have kept the strait open through 'Freedom Plan' operations. He added that if necessary, the U.S. could restart similar operations, even taking 'stronger measures.'

On May 12, Axios reported that three US officials stated that after negotiations with Iran stalled on Sunday, Trump met with his national security team on Monday to discuss the next steps regarding the potential for war with Iran, which may include resuming military action. US officials indicated that Trump aims to reach an agreement to end the conflict, but Iran has rejected many of his demands and refused to make meaningful concessions on its nuclear program, prompting military options to be reconsidered. Recently, Trump has publicly threatened to bomb Iran's infrastructure if diplomatic efforts fail. Officials noted that one option under consideration is to strike 25% of the targets that the US military has identified but has not yet hit. It is expected that Vice President Pence, US Special Envoy Hook, Secretary of State Rubio, Secretary of Defense Esper, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and other senior officials will participate in the meeting regarding Iran.

On May 12, Australia is considering significant reforms to its capital gains tax (CGT) system, planning to replace the current 50% tax discount policy for long-term asset holdings with an 'inflation-indexed' mechanism, covering investment categories such as crypto assets and stocks. The existing system allows individuals to be taxed only on 50% of the capital gains if they hold assets for more than a year, a policy that has been in place since 1999. If the reform is implemented, investors will calculate gains based on inflation-adjusted cost bases, which may lead to an increased tax burden during periods of rapid asset price growth. According to the proposal's logic, the new mechanism would tax only 'real gains' (the portion adjusted for inflation), but in a low-inflation environment, the indexed deduction could be less than the current 50% discount, resulting in higher tax burdens for most investors. The impact on crypto investors is particularly pronounced. The current 'hold to reduce tax' mechanism encourages long-term holding (HODL) strategies, while the new proposal would weaken the advantages of time-based holding, significantly increasing the tax burden on unrealized gains during periods of high price appreciation. This proposal is still in the discussion phase and is expected to face strong opposition from investor groups and the financial industry, with the controversy focusing on the balance between capital formation efficiency and tax system fairness.

The Ethereum Foundation has released the results of the core developer interoperability meeting and updated the key technical progress for the next phase upgrade of 'Glamsterdam'. Multi-client teams are collaborating on network scalability and execution layer optimization, achieving advancements in multiple areas. Developers have confirmed the comprehensive results based on ePBS, BAL optimization, and the EIP-8037 repricing mechanism, and consensus has been reached on the 'trusted path' following Glamsterdam. Additionally, progress has been made in the scalability direction 'Hegotá', with the FOCIL-related prototype now operational, and the scope of account abstraction (AA) requirements has been defined. The next phase will enter the multi-client development network validation stage. The current development focus remains on the final delivery of Glamsterdam, while also advancing the Hegotá scalability design and subsequent Strawmap route evolution. The development network has entered a continuous operation phase, and functionalities such as FOCIL are expected to be further deepened in the next testing phase.
