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.

The Chief Information Security Officer of Slow Fog, 23pds, posted on the X platform that curl recently fixed 18 security vulnerabilities, involving issues such as authentication bypass, memory safety, and host verification, among which one libcurl vulnerability has existed for about 25 years. The risks are not limited to the curl command line but also widely affect applications, SDKs, containers, firmware, gateways, and CI/CD environments that rely on libcurl. It is recommended to upgrade curl/libcurl as soon as possible and check for the use of old versions of libcurl, especially paying attention to mTLS, proxy authentication, and connection reuse scenarios.

According to a report by crypto.news, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz stated that the core reason for Bitcoin's recent decline is the "collapse of confidence triggered by Strategy." The issue lies not only in the price of Bitcoin itself but also in the growing concerns in the market regarding Strategy's financing model.As the largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin globally, Strategy's stock and preferred securities have become key indicators for traders to measure Bitcoin market risk. Previously, the company's Bitcoin flywheel effect had come under pressure, with stock trading prices dipping below the value of its Bitcoin holdings, indicating that its long-reliant "premium stock issuance to repurchase Bitcoin" model is being challenged. Novogratz bluntly stated that STRC trading is weak, which should have been maintained around $100. Currently, Strategy's annual dividend obligation has risen to about $1.2 billion, and a decline in cash reserves has reduced the dividend coverage period to only about 14 months.Bitcoin is also facing pressure on a macro level. Novogratz summarized the current market logic as "a strong dollar means a weak Bitcoin," with hawkish central bank signals and a strengthening dollar suppressing demand for risk assets. From a technical perspective, the $59,000 to $60,000 range for Bitcoin has become a critical defense line, and if it breaks down, the downward space could open up to $45,000.Novogratz also admitted that the current situation is complex, with a 50-50 probability of a rebound or a deep correction. Outflows from ETF funds, weak liquidity, and cautious positioning in the options market further confirm the fragile market sentiment. Now, the health of Strategy's balance sheet, the performance of STRC prices, and cash positions have evolved from being company-level issues to becoming confidence signals for the overall Bitcoin market.

CITIC Construction Investment Research Report points out that the following factors will determine the trend of the third quarter market: In terms of fundamentals, AI computing power remains at a high level of prosperity, with mid-year performance and overseas financial reports worth paying attention to. At the same time, since April, under pressure from the macro economy, the economic measures from the Politburo meeting in July are quite important; In terms of liquidity, external disturbances have increased, while internal conditions remain neutral; In terms of risk appetite, geopolitical events and the listing of industry giants will cause short-term fluctuations in the market. Considering the global tech stock correlation effect, major overseas computing powers such as Japan, South Korea, and the United States also need to be continuously monitored.In terms of industry allocation, although the logic of AI computing power remains unchanged, volatility has intensified. It is recommended to be cautious about chasing highs and to position during pullbacks; lithium batteries are expected to welcome a peak season, and energy storage demand continues to warm up, while new energy presents opportunities for phased valuation recovery; dividends are expected to rebound from oversold conditions, with relatively high cost-performance ratios. Key areas to focus on: banks, coal, public utilities, AI, optical modules, storage, chips, industrial metals, lithium battery materials (VC), etc.

Web3 security company GoPlus Security pointed out that there has been a recent surge in smart contract vulnerability attacks, particularly targeting older contracts that have been deployed for many years. Attackers are leveraging AI technology to quickly discover and exploit these vulnerabilities.Recent typical incidents include:On June 9, a Token of Power (TOP) contract deployed 7 years ago was attacked on Ethereum, resulting in a loss of approximately $1.5 million;On May 25, a WUSD.fi contract deployed 3 years ago was attacked, resulting in a loss of approximately $200,000;On June 14 and June 18, Aztec Network was attacked twice in a row due to an old contract deployed 2 years ago, with total losses exceeding $4 million.GoPlus Security believes that traditional auditing methods are insufficient to effectively cover legacy contracts, and adopting AI-based Always-on Audit services may be the most effective solution currently available, capable of conducting security checks on old contracts in a short period while balancing reliability and cost.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin has repeatedly found support around $59,000 in June, a position that has replaced $60,000 as a more critical technical support level. On Wednesday, as the decline accelerated, the price briefly approached $59,000 before rebounding to $61,000, a similar trend that occurred on June 5, when the price rebounded to $67,000 after stopping the decline near $59,000.The Federal Reserve's most closely watched PCE data will be released on Thursday evening, with core PCE expected to rise year-on-year by 3.3%-3.4%, the highest since October 2023. If the data exceeds expectations, it will confirm that the rise in inflation is not a temporary phenomenon, potentially strengthening interest rate hike expectations and pushing the dollar index further up, putting pressure on cryptocurrencies; if it falls short of expectations, it may alleviate concerns about interest rate hikes, providing support for Bitcoin's rebound from $59,000.

According to The Wall Street Journal, blockchain public chain data analysis shows that Iranian entities have completed over $3.84 billion in transactions through the cryptocurrency exchange CoinEx to evade U.S. economic sanctions.Investigators have traced funds associated with two digital wallets controlled by the Central Bank of Iran, which are linked to the $1.5 billion stolen by North Korean hackers from the Bybit exchange. After flowing through a complex multi-layer transaction path, the related funds ultimately entered CoinEx, making it one of the core channels for Iran to bypass the sanctions system using cryptocurrency.

South Korean memory chip giant SK Hynix plans to raise up to 45 trillion won (approximately 29 billion USD) by issuing American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in New York, with the related transaction set to start in July. If successful, this financing scale will surpass Alibaba's 25 billion USD IPO in 2014, becoming one of the largest overseas equity financing projects in the history of South Korean companies, and approaching historical records in the global capital market.According to the plan, SK Hynix will first issue shares in South Korea, then deposit the relevant shares into a South Korean securities depository as the underlying securities for the ADRs. South Korean regulators are expected to complete the review by July 3. The raised funds will primarily be used for the construction of the Yongin semiconductor cluster in South Korea and a factory in Indiana, USA, as well as the purchase of EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment to support the expansion of advanced storage capacity related to AI. Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America have been selected as the lead underwriters.SK Hynix's confidence in this U.S. financing stems from its strong position in the AI industry chain. As a leading company in the global high bandwidth memory (HBM) sector, the company is a core supplier of AI accelerator chips for NVIDIA. Driven by AI demand, its stock price has increased by over 300% this year. CEO Lee Seok-hee stated that the company hopes to leverage the U.S. capital market to enhance its global influence and achieve a valuation level comparable to other AI hardware companies.

Today, Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in an online live broadcast themed "Logic of Gold Trend Analysis" that this week's market focus will be on the U.S. May PCE Price Index and the final value of Q1 GDP.Previously, CPI and PPI data reached new highs, non-farm employment showed robust performance, and signals of inflation rebound combined with the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance have led the market to gradually digest rate hike expectations. He emphasized that Waller has clearly stated that controlling inflation is the top priority, and the interest rate dot plot shows that rate hikes in 2026 are becoming an internal consensus, and the market needs to prepare for a higher and longer-lasting interest rate environment.Regarding the gold trend, Lewis Huang stated that due to the impact of geopolitical conflicts driving up energy prices, the overall year-on-year increase in the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index may rise to 3.4% or even higher. If the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index rises unexpectedly, the U.S. Dollar Index will gain strong momentum, while non-interest-bearing assets like gold will face weakening risks. He suggests that CFD traders closely monitor inflation expectation differentials and flexibly capture opportunities for U.S. dollar bullishness or guard against gold downturns.

According to Coindesk, former 21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder stated that there is a significant communication misalignment between the crypto industry and traditional finance regarding the issue of tokenization.Snyder pointed out that current discussions mostly focus on the settlement speed of blockchain and the ability to transfer assets, but overlook the operational processes from trade execution to final settlement. She believes that tokenization projects are feasible in small-scale tests, but face enormous challenges in supporting the massive flow of funds in the U.S. capital markets.The main difficulties include: how to integrate tokenized assets into existing ledger systems, compliance processes, and regulatory reporting frameworks, as well as how to adjust the risk management framework to accommodate round-the-clock trading. Additionally, many third-party software solutions relied upon by financial institutions have yet to support blockchain-native transactions.She stated that the real challenges will become apparent when institutions incorporate tokenized infrastructure into their core business pathways. The industry is still in the pilot phase, and there is still a long way to go before large-scale implementation.
