Samsung Electronics has launched the passport-type foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Fold8 this year, and the supply of display driver chips (DDI) is tight. The demand for Z Fold8 has exceeded expectations, and Samsung is increasing component orders. However, this DDI is designed by Samsung's System LSI Division and produced by Taiwan's foundry UMC using a 22-nanometer process, which has reached its production capacity limit, making it difficult to advance the production schedule.Industry insiders say that UMC's 22-nanometer production line is also manufacturing other chips, and Samsung's request for super urgent service was rejected. Samsung plans to prioritize the DDI quantity originally reserved for development next year for mass production this year. The typical time from wafer to finished product takes about 4 months, and the finished product is then assembled after being bonded with Samsung's OLED. Samsung is also increasing orders for hinges and ultra-thin glass (UTG). The demand for Z Flip8 is in line with lower expectations, and Apple also plans to launch a passport-type foldable product in the second half of this year.

Bilal Bin Saqib, the Minister of State for Pakistan and Chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA), revealed at the Bitcoin Asia conference that the country completed the establishment of its virtual asset regulatory system in less than six months, using only about 8% of the approved budget, which is approximately $200,000, with about 92% of the budget remaining unused. Saqib stated that the government should not measure success by how much money is spent, but rather by the actual delivery of results. The regulatory framework covers activities such as exchanges, custody, brokerage, asset management, lending, and settlement, and introduces requirements regarding governance, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing, customer asset protection, cybersecurity, and market conduct. Saqib emphasized that Pakistan's regulatory ambitions extend beyond the current digital asset market, with future focus on the tokenization market, programmable payments, stablecoins, machine-to-machine transactions, and the AI agent economy, noting the need to establish corresponding regulatory rules for agent payments and the agent economy. Saqib stated that emerging markets do not need to spend a decade catching up; they can build on the frontier. With a population of over 240 million, Pakistan is a potentially significant market for emerging financial technologies. The rapid transition from legislation to licensing in the country is being used as a demonstration case for the government's response to next-generation financial infrastructure.

According to reports from Seoul Economic Daily, Samsung Electronics is developing HBM4E (seventh generation) 8-layer products that meet NVIDIA's requirements, aiming to secure its position as a core partner in the supply of customized high-bandwidth memory NVHBM. This product reduces the stacking height compared to the originally planned 12-layer and 16-layer designs. The speed specifications proposed by NVIDIA are 17-18Gbps, which is about 20% higher than the speed of Samsung's initial HBM4E samples (14.4Gbps), and will be used for NVIDIA's publicly disclosed NVLink optimized specifications for NVHBM.The use of 8 layers, contrary to the previous logic of increasing capacity by adding more stacking layers in HBM, can reduce the difficulty of post-processing and yield pressure, which is beneficial for expanding supply and is seen as NVIDIA's strategy to alleviate memory shortages. NVHBM is expected to be applied starting with the next-generation AI GPU "Rubin Ultra," which is set to launch next year. This GPU will expand the interconnection scale between GPUs from a maximum of 72 to 576, enhancing overall computing power through hundreds of GPUs equipped with faster HBM.In the customized HBM market, Samsung is more competitive compared to SK Hynix and Micron, as NVHBM requires DRAM and the production capabilities of logic chip-based bare die designs, which Samsung can integrate. Industry insiders say that Samsung has verified the highest speed levels in HBM4, which can provide an advantage in speed competition.

The core development team of Solana, Anza, announced that the Solana testnet has enabled the first phase of the SIMD-0437 proposal, and the account rent reduction mechanism has begun testing. This proposal includes a total of 5 functional gates, with only the first functional gate currently activated, and all adjustments have not yet been completed and deployed to the mainnet.Once all 5 phases are completed, the storage cost parameter lamports_per_byte for Solana will be reduced from 6960 to 696, resulting in an overall reduction of 90%. For example, in the case of token accounts, the deposit required to maintain an account in a rent-exempt state is expected to decrease from approximately $0.16 to $0.016, thereby lowering the costs of account creation and application deployment.

Ethereum developer nixo.eth revealed on the X platform that Ethereum core developers have decided to change the status of the account abstraction proposal EIP-8141 from "under consideration" to "scheduled," confirming that account abstraction will be promoted as a key feature of the Hegotá upgrade.This EIP was proposed in March as a flagship upgrade, and community consensus suggests that even though there are still controversies regarding the specific implementation, account abstraction should be launched in Hegotá. In recent weeks, another proposal, EIP-8130, has emerged as a competitor, planning to be deployed on Base in September, sparking discussions about avoiding a split in account abstraction standards between L1 and L2. The authors of both EIPs and core developers are working hard to reach a unified solution without delaying the upgrade. The status change means that this feature has officially entered the planning for the Hegotá upgrade, but the specific specifications may undergo significant changes, and it is common for implementation plans to change before the official launch.

Epoch AI updates that the revenue growth rates of OpenAI and Anthropic have reached or exceeded the rare levels seen in historically comparable tech companies. Over the past year, OpenAI increased its annualized revenue run rate from $13 billion to over $40 billion, achieving approximately threefold growth; Anthropic's revenue is projected to grow from $1 billion in 2025 to $9 billion, with a further acceleration in the first quarter of 2026, reaching an annualized run rate of over three times, reportedly hitting $65 billion by the end of July.The combined revenue of the two companies is expected to grow approximately threefold in 2024, over fourfold in 2025, and from $30 billion to $105 billion by August 2026, achieving about 3.5 times growth. The article notes that maintaining over 100% annual growth at a scale exceeding $1 billion is extremely rare, with the growth rate for 2025 already being record-breaking, and further acceleration in 2026 on a higher base.Epoch AI analysis states that the overall annualized revenue of the generative AI market is close to $200 billion, with the two companies accounting for about half. The continued hypergrowth may stem from the combination of capability advancements and diffusion, with future trends depending on whether growth comes more from sustained technological advancements or application diffusion; if the growth rate is maintained, it will significantly impact economic scale, but it may also slow down with maturity.
