On November 11, the Polkadot community, through its decentralized governance system, supported a new strategy proposed by the Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF) with 97% of the votes. This strategy calls for focusing energy and resources on the upcoming Polkadot product platform, with a core direction of directly acquiring users. The product platform is positioned as an application layer that prioritizes user privacy and data rights, anchored by dotStables, with the first asset being dotUSD, designed to accumulate value for DOT.According to the content confirmed by DOTDAO authorization, the new strategy focuses on enabling users to directly encounter products on the product platform. Products on the platform should closely resemble the application experiences users are already familiar with, adopting a free, simple username and mobile-first approach, while allowing users to decide the extent of data sharing. PCF plans to provide the first mobile-centric solution through the Polkadot App, which will support private messaging and digital cash payments. dotStables starts with dotUSD, which tracks the US dollar and is supported by DOT; the Polkadot Technical Fellowship will oversee dotUSD and other dotStables, in conjunction with independent audits and risk management.The new strategy also specifies the allocation of shared funds and resources, advocating a shift from general marketing services to incentive activities directly linked to measurable user engagement, ensuring that spending serves the product growth authorized by DOTDAO. Products on the product platform are designed to attract users, and user activities will create demand for the stable value asset dotStables supported by DOT. According to the authorization, the design of dotStables should ultimately convert this demand into demand for DOT.

According to a Reuters survey, Chinese developers are still planning AI data centers around Nvidia processors that are subject to U.S. export controls, with a total project value exceeding 23 billion yuan (approximately 3.2 billion USD). The agency compiled over 150 procurement announcements, investment plans, and corporate records, many of which explicitly list H100, H200, or H800 chips. The 3.2 billion USD is the overall investment amount for the projects, covering infrastructure such as construction and power, and the documents did not prove that all related chips have been obtained, nor did they show any violations.A proposed computing center in Fujian is valued at 6.2 billion yuan (approximately 873 million USD), with the official investment list specifying H100 servers, which are still seeking financing; a state-owned engineering group in Shaanxi has won a contract related to a 3 billion yuan project, with documents listing H100 and H200; a 2.26 billion yuan project in Jilin plans to combine Nvidia hardware with domestic processors; a proposed project in Inner Mongolia specifies 625 H200 servers, while Wuxi claims that an H800 cluster has been put into operation in March 2025.Since 2022, the U.S. has restricted the export of advanced AI chips to China, and in January 2026, the Department of Commerce changed the export application for H200 to case-by-case approval, with sales still requiring a license, and restrictions on H100 being even stricter. Reuters cited IDC data stating that in the first half of 2026, Nvidia accounted for 34% of AI accelerator shipments in China, while Huawei accounted for 28%. Chinese developer Z.AI has released an image generation model fully trained on Huawei chips. These records show that Nvidia is still deeply embedded in China's AI infrastructure planning, putting pressure on U.S. officials facing congressional scrutiny.

Analyst Murphy stated that the sentiment in the cryptocurrency market has returned to "extreme fear." On November 12, the realized losses of long-term and short-term holders moving to trading platforms reached recent highs, with the overall scale approaching the bear market bottom period of June to July this year.Murphy mentioned that the market has recently faced multiple extreme bearish factors, including the Binance black swan event, concerns over AI infrastructure restrictions triggered by the Democratic Party's midterm election victory, CPI exceeding expectations, Nvidia's sharp decline due to scandals, and MSTR being removed from the MSCI index. The severity of these events has surpassed historical levels, except for March 12, 2020.
