On September 9, WEEX TradFi market data showed that GameStop (GME) stock price slightly decreased by 1.41%, closing at $18.89. Its latest disclosed Q2 financial report shows an adjusted EPS of $0.27, revenue of $790.2 million, a year-on-year increase of 57% in collectibles sales, and an operating profit of $160.2 million, a record high. The adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2026 has been raised to over $650 million. WEEX Labs believes that the weak GME stock price is due to twofold pressure: first, the overall core revenue is still showing a severe double-digit decline compared to the same period last year, and the traditional retail to digital transformation has not achieved a fundamental breakthrough; second, market expectations regarding equity swaps and potential follow-up fundraising have squeezed bullish sentiment.In addition, AeroVironment (AVAV) will announce its FY27Q1 financial report after the market closes today, with market expectations for EPS around $0.22 and revenue around $468 million. Its stock price volatility will depend on the ramp-up of drone order capacity, gross margin performance, and the fulfillment of warehouse delivery guidance.

The Economist estimates that AI has created about 1 million new jobs in the United States so far, far exceeding the approximately 200,000 jobs cut due to AI since mid-2023. This conclusion is based on the employment data for August released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on September 4: the U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate remained at 4.1%. The unemployment rate for young people aged 20-24 is now close to its lowest level in decades compared to the overall unemployment rate.Job growth mainly comes from high-skilled positions directly serving AI and blue-collar jobs driven by data center construction. Since 2022, about 730,000 jobs exceeding the trend line have been added for engineers, software developers, mathematicians, and data scientists. The chief economist at Burning Glass Institute estimates that currently about 1% of professional jobs in the U.S. can be classified as AI jobs, with that proportion reaching 4% to 5% in the fields of computer and life sciences. Spending on data center construction has increased by 60% within a year, leading to a rise in demand for electricians, HVAC technicians, and others. Data from Indeed shows that salaries for data center installation and maintenance jobs are about 40% higher than similar positions.Customer service positions have shrunk by about 10% since January 2023, and administrative assistants have decreased by about 15%. Microsoft and Meta have reduced staff while restructuring their businesses around AI, and companies like Block and Intuit have replaced some manual labor with automation tools. On average, U.S. companies announce about 16,000 layoffs related to AI each month. Economist Noah Smith points out that it is currently difficult to find occupations eliminated by AI in labor data.

SK Hynix stated on the 9th that the development of the next-generation memory 3D DRAM semiconductor can utilize foundry processes. The day before, at the 2026 SK Hynix Future Forum held at the Supex Center in the Icheon campus, Vice President Kim Kyung-hoon and Son Ho-young presented the main technical directions for 3D DRAM, including the use of logic foundry processes for DRAM peripheral circuits, maximizing data bus bandwidth, and ultra-short distance transmission.3D DRAM is the next-generation DRAM that vertically stacks the originally planar storage cells to improve integration. The two stated that achieving this technology requires addressing not only design and heat dissipation issues but also challenges in fine interconnections, bonding, and process integration in the packaging field. As the boundaries between front-end and back-end packaging, foundry, and memory technology converge, collaborative optimization beyond existing fields will become more important. Son Ho-young mentioned that 3D technology is changing the technological boundaries between wafer fabs and packaging, and it is necessary to establish an optimization and new collaboration system that transcends existing fields alongside innovations in advanced packaging technology.In a related presentation, Professor Shin Chang-hwan from Korea University stated that 3D DRAM is not only about the vertical stacking of chips but also a technology that breaks the boundaries between memory and logic. As device miniaturization approaches its limits and the time and power consumption associated with data movement between systems and memory increases, the shift to 3D technology is inevitable. He proposed a 3D integrated design framework that links materials, devices, packaging, and architecture through artificial intelligence. SK Hynix President Kwon Oh-joon, in his speech, remarked that the past memory market resembled a straight road where the competition was about who could run faster, but now it resembles a constantly changing curve, making it important to grasp the speed and direction of external environmental changes and adapt flexibly in addition to internal capabilities.

Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon announced his resignation and is preparing to leave the AI industry. He has conducted pre-training research at OpenAI and Anthropic over the past three years. He pointed out that neither company has responsibly advanced AI and are competing to create superintelligence that can continue to enhance its own capabilities, "betting our lives on it."He switched from OpenAI to Anthropic this year because the latter places more emphasis on model safety. Coxon acknowledged that Anthropic's safety work is serious, but believes that as long as companies are racing to be the first to create AGI (artificial general intelligence that surpasses humans in a wide range of tasks), safety compromises are unavoidable, and self-discipline from a single company cannot solve the problem. His assessment of the two companies is: many people inside OpenAI still do not truly realize how great this risk is; Anthropic knows the risks but believes others are unreliable, so they must create it themselves first.Coxon stated that some AI practitioners are much more pessimistic privately than they express publicly, and are even worried that AI could destroy humanity before the end of this decade. He personally judges that in the most radical scenario, AI could go out of control by the end of next year, so such decisions should not be made solely by the engineers of a few companies.

The report from the Cornell Brooks School Tech Policy Institute (BTPI) shows that if the United States implements a minimum exemption for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payments under $300, the federal net revenue is expected to increase by $859 million over 10 years, with a range of $172 million to $2.58 billion, assuming the number of digital asset payment users remains at 5.4 million.The bill S. 2207 proposed by U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis aims to exempt capital gains tax on related payments, with an annual tax-free capital gains limit of $5,000. Some other legislative initiatives propose to limit the scope of the exemption to regulated stablecoins, and discussions are still ongoing. BTPI states that the current capital gains tax and small transaction reporting requirements suppress daily Bitcoin payments. If the transaction-level tax and reporting burdens are removed, it could increase Bitcoin payments and demand; under the current adoption level, the recent impact on Bitcoin prices and taxes may be small, while the long-term impact depends on factors such as the scale of payments.

According to Bloomberg, the top executive of Kioxia Holdings denied the possibility of establishing closer cooperation with competitors and shareholder SK Hynix, stating that they will control the rapid rise in storage chip prices to avoid impacting long-term demand in the artificial intelligence sector.Currently, storage chip manufacturers are expanding production capacity to meet the surge in orders from artificial intelligence service providers, leading to a significant increase in related chip prices. Some investors believe that forming manufacturing partnerships may help reduce the risk of large-scale capital expenditures.

U.S. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has once again criticized the Democrats for delaying the much-anticipated Clarity Act. Lummis stated in response to a Semafor report on the X platform that if the bill fails, the responsibility lies with the Democrats for failing to join Republicans in supporting this bipartisan legislation. She pointed out that the Democrats' continued demands for amendments could lead future regulatory agencies to "stifle the crypto industry." Lummis added that if the differences can be bridged, she believes the Clarity Act could pass, but this requires further compromise from the Democrats, rather than concessions from the White House. Lummis had previously stated that if the bill fails, it will be due to the Democrats. The U.S. Senate is set to hold a procedural vote on the bill next week, and Lummis warned that if it does not pass next week, there will be no realistic opportunity within this decade. The Clarity Act aims to formally delineate the responsibilities of regulatory agencies and distinguish whether digital assets are classified as securities, commodities, or stablecoins. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives last July but was shelved due to conflicts between banking lobbyists and crypto companies over customer stablecoin yield issues. A new draft circulating in July prohibits government officials from promoting or profiting from crypto, with Democrats criticizing the Trump family for venturing into this area, yet still deeming the bill insufficient and calling for amendments.

According to CoinDesk, data from Curve Finance shows that its lending market has recorded a total of 704 "soft liquidation" events, involving 602 borrower addresses, with a median duration of 14.5 days, of which a quarter lasted at least 38.9 days, and some positions remained within the liquidation range for several months. Of these soft liquidations, 476 began in the first half of 2026. Unlike traditional lending protocols such as Aave and Compound, Curve's LLAMMA system does not sell off collateral all at once after the price drops below a threshold, but gradually converts collateral into borrowed assets within a price range. If the price rebounds before the loan completely fails, some or all of the conversions may be reversed. This means that borrowers are not in a grace period; their collateral has been partially liquidated during the loan's duration, but they still have the opportunity to restore their positions if the price reverses. However, soft liquidations are not without costs. Data shows that borrowers may still incur losses due to transaction fees, conversions, rebalancing, interest, and bid-ask price fluctuations, and if the market remains unfavorable, positions may still fall into hard liquidation. Curve Finance is a mainstream DeFi protocol focused on stablecoin exchanges and crvUSD lending, currently holding approximately $1.35 billion in deposits, with a DEX trading volume of about $3.4 billion over the past 30 days and active loans of about $46 million.
