Bitcoin price fell nearly 1% to around $79,700, as escalating conflicts between the United States and Iran pushed oil prices higher. The U.S. Central Command confirmed on Saturday that it struck three Iranian oil tankers located near Halk Island, Jask, and the Gulf of Oman. Admiral Brad Cooper stated that if Iran attacks U.S. vessels, the U.S. will impose a higher economic cost.The U.S. Central Command updated maritime blockade data, stating that since resuming operations on July 14, it has redirected 92 merchant ships, disabled 3, and boarded 2 for inspection. Oil prices rose by 1% in both the U.S. and European markets, with WTI at $92.72, marking a cumulative increase of over 6% in the past seven days. The rise in oil prices could exacerbate global inflation, making it more difficult for central banks, including the Federal Reserve, to cut interest rates.Additionally, the U.S. employment data for August released last Friday was stronger than expected, reinforcing expectations for an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. However, Trump immediately posted on Truth Social calling for a rate cut, stating that a strong nation means lower interest rates. This uncertainty may dampen risk appetite for Bitcoin and the broader market. Furthermore, late Sunday night, the Liquid Network, used by exchanges as a settlement layer, suffered a $320 million attack.

On September 2, TSMC Senior Vice President and Co-COO Dr. Wei-Chung Hou stated that the speed of change in AI demand far exceeds past industry experiences. Taking TSMC's equipment demand as an example, the estimated equipment needed for this year at the end of last year was calculated to be 1 times, but just one quarter later it increased to 1.5 times, and by July of this year, it had reached 1.9 times, with demand nearly doubling in just six months.Dr. Hou pointed out that the semiconductor industry has never faced such rapid changes in demand in the past 30 years. The entire industry needs to provide nearly double the original equipment, capacity, and resources in an extremely short time. TSMC is currently constructing 13 fabs in Taiwan and about 5 to 6 overseas, totaling nearly 20 fabs globally, with the scale of construction expanded to about 3 to 4 times that of the past, yet still unable to fully meet customer demand.He emphasized that in the AI era, the entire system or module needs to be optimized, and traditional collaborative models can no longer meet the demand. The supply chain must be restructured into a new cooperation model that is more closely integrated. The entire ecosystem is not yet prepared for such rapid growth, with equipment demand nearly doubling in six months, and almost no suppliers can completely avoid capacity constraints.
