first_img Analysis: China's storage is divided among CXMT, YMTC, and XMC

Researcher Schulz_Research stated that China's storage advancement is no longer a story of a single company, but rather a division of labor among three companies: CXMT is responsible for DRAM wafers, YMTC is responsible for NAND and has added DRAM in its latest factory, and the foundry controlled by YMTC, XMC, is responsible for stacking products from both. This division corresponds to the rules set by Beijing since late December last year, which state that new factory approvals must show that at least half of the equipment is domestically sourced, with exemptions only granted when there are no domestic options available. YMTC's Wuhan Phase III is the first advanced storage project to pass this rule and is set to begin production later this year.CXMT operates three 300mm DRAM factories, each producing about 100,000 wafers per month; models indicate it will reach 350,000 wafers by the end of 2026, and if all announced projects are completed, the total will exceed 600,000 wafers. YMTC's first two factories in Wuhan have a combined capacity of 200,000 wafers, with Phase III expected to reach 50,000 wafers by 2027 and full production of 100,000 wafers, along with plans to build two more factories of similar scale. XMC has two 12-inch factories, each with about 30,000 wafers, and an HBM packaging line producing about 3,000 wafers per month. China supplies about 10% of the global DRAM bits, with YMTC accounting for 14% of NAND bit shipments in the second quarter, and China consumes about 30% of global storage.CXMT has begun mass production of DDR5 and LPDDR5 and plans to start mass production of HBM3 this year, having already sent samples to domestic AI hardware developers. XMC has spent two years building HBM packaging based on hybrid bonding and YMTC's stacking IP, and is still advancing TSV technology.

first_img XRP ETF saw a net inflow of 170 million USD for 11 consecutive days, with Goldman Sachs ranking first among institutional holders

The US spot XRP ETF has recorded net inflows for 11 consecutive trading days, attracting approximately $170 million in funds during this period. Since its launch in November last year, the cumulative net inflow of these funds has reached about $1.68 billion. As of Wednesday morning, the trading price of XRP was around $1.33, down from about $1.45 on August 27, but still higher than the $1 level in mid-August.According to the disclosures in the 13F filings, Goldman Sachs is the largest institutional holder of the XRP ETF, holding approximately $87.4 million, while Jane Street and Millennium Management hold $16.6 million and $16.2 million, respectively. Investment advisors are the largest category of holders, accounting for about $120 million of the disclosed $183 million, while hedge funds hold about $25 million, and brokers and banks hold approximately $17 million and $14 million, respectively.However, institutional holdings and fund inflows measure different dimensions: the 13F filings reflect the holdings as of June 30, while the continuous inflows record new funds from the end of August to early September. These data only reflect the total holdings of the ETF and not the complete exposure of investors to XRP; institutions like Goldman Sachs may hedge part of the price risk through futures or other instruments. The next round of 13F filings will be released in November.

first_img Data: In August, the total financing amount in the cryptocurrency market was approximately 596 million USD, with a financing coverage rate of about 28.2% for RWA

According to RootData's financing data statistics, in August, the crypto primary market disclosed 49 financing events, with a total financing amount of approximately $596 million, a month-on-month decrease of 74.2% compared to July's approximately $2.312 billion, and a year-on-year decrease of 35.5% compared to August 2025's approximately $924 million; the number of financing events saw a slight month-on-month increase of 2.1% compared to July's 48 events, but a year-on-year decrease of 42.4% compared to 85 events during the same period last year. (This data does not include questionable financing and excludes mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, post-IPO, and debt financing.)From the perspective of sectors, DeFi was the most active sector this month, completing 19 financings, but the disclosed amount was only about $73.1 million; the infrastructure sector completed 14 financings, with a disclosed amount of approximately $311 million, ranking first in terms of amount; CeFi completed 8 financings, with a disclosed amount of approximately $199 million. The top three projects by financing amount were Ripple ($275 million), RQD Clearing ($74 million), and Fasset ($68 million), with the top three projects totaling approximately $417 million, accounting for about 70.0% of the overall disclosed financing scale.In terms of RWA, RootData currently includes 529 RWA-related projects, of which 149 projects have financing records, with a financing coverage rate of approximately 28.2%. However, looking at August alone, there was only one RWA-related financing, Entropy, with a financing amount of $14 million, accounting for about 2.0% of this month's financing events and approximately 2.3% of the disclosed financing amount.In addition, 6 merger and acquisition events were disclosed in August, a significant decrease from July's 19 events; among them, 4 belong to CeFi, including BitGo's acquisition of NYDIG, Nasdaq's acquisition of LeveL Markets, Rain's acquisition of Ansa, and OpenFX's acquisition of Global Ledger. These were mainly concentrated in CeFi, payments, market infrastructure, and data analysis services.In terms of investment institutions, YZi Labs, MH Ventures, Mapleblock, Polychain, and others remain active. Overall, in August, financing market funds mainly flowed into payments, clearing, stablecoins, CeFi, and institutional-level infrastructure; RWA sector projects have sufficient reserves and high narrative heat, but monthly financing has not yet seen a simultaneous increase.

The risk of "exit difficulty" in the South Korean cryptocurrency market emerges: nearly 30% of assets among the five major exchanges can only be traded on one

According to South Korean media Daum, an analysis of the five major Korean won exchanges Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and GOPAX, as well as the public API of CoinGecko, found that after excluding duplicate assets, the five exchanges collectively support approximately 606 types of crypto assets. Among them, 164 types (27.1%) are only available for trading on one exchange, and another 324 types (53.5%) are traded on two or fewer exchanges.Among the assets supported by a single exchange, Coinone has the most, with 55 types; Bithumb has 54 types, GOPAX has 25 types, Upbit has 16 types, and Korbit has 14 types. In terms of liquidity, the median trading volume of these 164 assets in nearly 24 hours is only about 1.37 million won, with 79 types having a trading volume of less than 1 million won, and 38 types even having zero transactions.The analysis suggests that listing on a single exchange does not inherently mean that the asset carries risk. If the relevant assets are actively traded on overseas exchanges or support smooth withdrawals, investors still have other exit channels. However, for assets with low overseas trading volume and restricted deposit and withdrawal networks, once support is terminated, investors may face difficulties in both selling and transferring.
