SemiAnalysis: Changxin Storage has become the fourth largest DRAM manufacturer in the world, and will not break the super cycle of storage shortages in the short term

The semiconductor research institution SemiAnalysis has released a latest analysis indicating that Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) has clearly become the world's fourth largest DRAM manufacturer. Although its production capacity and cash flow are continuously growing, the institution believes that Changxin Memory still faces multiple challenges in equipment, technology, and market, and will not end the current storage "super cycle" in the short term.In terms of specific challenges, export controls on advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment (such as EUV, advanced etching, and TSV tools) severely restrict Changxin's expansion into more advanced processes and high bandwidth memory (HBM) fields; although domestic equipment (such as Zhongwei Company, Northern Huachuang, etc.) has alleviated some pressure, it cannot fully resolve the integration and yield bottlenecks across multiple process links, resulting in its technology still lagging behind leading manufacturers by several generations. Additionally, Changxin's market share is currently still highly concentrated in the Chinese domestic market, with global expansion limited by geopolitical factors and customers' willingness to diversify their supply chains.In response to market concerns that Changxin might "impact the global market with cheap chips," SemiAnalysis clarified that there is currently a severe structural shortage in the DRAM market, and the increase in Changxin's production capacity may even struggle to fully meet domestic demand in China. In fact, the prices of Chinese memory chips are also soaring significantly, in line with the global upward trend, and Changxin is similarly a beneficiary of the shortage premium. Therefore, Changxin Memory should be viewed as a long-term structural competitive force, and in the current context of accelerated AI demand and constrained supply, it cannot shake the fundamental super cycle dominated by leading manufacturers in the short term.

BitMine increased its holdings by 27,084 ETH last week, bringing the total holdings to approximately 5.7 million coins

According to PR Newswire, BitMine increased its holdings by 27,084 Ethereum last week. As of June 28, 2026, its total Ethereum holdings reached 5,700,040, accounting for approximately 4.7% of the total Ethereum supply.Currently, the total value of cryptocurrencies, cash, and other investment assets held by BitMine is approximately $9.8 billion, which includes $555 million in cash and securities, 206 Bitcoin, $180 million in equity assets from Beast Industries, and a $74 million investment in Eightco Holdings. In addition, the amount of Ethereum it has staked has increased to 4,879,157 (over 85% of total holdings), valued at approximately $7.7 billion, with a current annualized staking yield of about $211 million.Tom Lee stated that BitMine was included in the Russell 1000 large-cap index during the Russell index annual reconstitution on June 26, 2026. This inclusion is expected to bring hundreds or even thousands of new institutional investors, as passive funds and ETFs typically hold 18% to 20% of the outstanding shares of publicly listed companies.However, this week has been challenging for crypto investors, with ETH down 8%, despite positive developments in the Ethereum ecosystem such as the establishment of Ethlabs, and a softening stance from the Bank of England on stablecoins. He believes that the "earnings manipulation" effect that appears near the end of the quarter has led investors to reduce holdings in assets that have underperformed over the past three months, but the long-term development path of the crypto industry remains positive, with the dual driving forces of Wall Street infrastructure moving on-chain and proxy AI payment systems still in place.
