hot_img MLCC supply is in short supply: customers are raising prices two to three times to secure materials, with delivery times extended to 12-16 months

Driven by strong demand for AI, the MLCC market has seen a surge in price chasing and material grabbing. Industry sources indicate that some customers are willing to pay two to three times the price to secure supplies from major manufacturers like Yageo and Murata, creating a situation where the highest bidder wins. Yageo has admitted that AI-related customers are increasingly looking to lock in capacity in advance to reduce supply risks. Currently, major MLCC manufacturers are fully booked, with capacity nearing full load, and delivery times have extended to 12 to 16 months.In terms of capacity, Yageo expects the utilization rate for standard products this quarter to increase from about 80% in Q2 to over 90%, while special products will maintain a high level above 90%, overall trending towards full capacity. The company is also expanding production, with new capacity set to come online each quarter. Japanese manufacturers are also optimistic, with Murata significantly raising its annual profit forecast, and Taiyo Yuden stating that demand for AI servers has exceeded expectations. Industry insiders point out that large customers typically have a higher priority for capacity allocation, while small and medium-sized customers can only compete for limited supplies by offering higher prices. Yageo has noted that more and more customers wish to secure passive component supplies for the next six months to several years through long-term contracts to mitigate supply chain risks.

Nansen founder: Bitcoin will never drop below $60,000 again, there are no signs of an end to the global monetary easing cycle

Nansen founder and CEO Alex Svanevik stated that Bitcoin's current price of around $60,000 may have marked the low point of this cycle. "Personally, I don't think Bitcoin will go below $60,000 again; I believe that's in the past, and I think it's forever." Alex Svanevik said this judgment is based on Bitcoin's positioning as a hedge against global central bank currency expansion, and he has not seen signs that the global monetary easing cycle is about to end. At the same time, the crypto industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation; crypto assets were previously in the toy world of blockchain and are now entering the real world era.In terms of the public chain ecosystem, Svanevik holds a long-term bullish view on Solana, stating that the perception of it as merely a meme coin chain is completely absurd. He believes Solana has "possibly the most effective BD team" and "an incredible team." However, Svanevik declined to translate this judgment into a specific price prediction for SOL—"Intuitively, I would think it will rise, but I can't be sure." Svanevik is also optimistic about the Robinhood chain, which just launched in July this year, believing it is rising as a strong competitor to Base due to its excellent user distribution capabilities. However, he judges that Robinhood is unlikely to issue a token—on one hand, it doesn't need to, and on the other hand, as a publicly traded company on NASDAQ, issuing a token would logically contradict competing with its own stock, "All value should be directed to HOOD stock."
