Binance announces the launch of a brand new advanced financial product, BTC Yield. BTC Yield is an open-ended yield strategy product priced in BTC, designed specifically for long-term holders who wish to explore potential yield opportunities in Bitcoin without frequent trading.BTC Yield is currently one of the first Bitcoin covered call yield products launched by mainstream cryptocurrency exchanges for both retail and institutional users, reflecting Binance's ongoing expansion from a trading platform to a broader financial super application. Shunyet Jan, head of Binance Exchange and trading operations, stated: "BTC Yield further enriches the product offerings available to users, allowing them to leverage the value of digital assets in more ways. The covered call strategy is already quite mature in traditional financial markets, but direct participation for ordinary investors usually comes with a high barrier to entry. BTC Yield simplifies this strategy, enabling Bitcoin holders who wish to gain potential yields without frequent market trading to participate more conveniently."To celebrate the launch of BTC Yield, Binance Wealth Management is offering a limited-time event, where eligible BTC Yield subscription users will have the chance to share a prize pool of 100,000 USDC.

According to Jinshi reports, Nomura Securities believes in its latest report that the core contradiction in the global storage industry is still a severe supply shortage, and the AI-driven structural demand growth has not yet peaked.Recently, investors' concerns about oversupply have been clearly exaggerated, and the market's extreme reaction may provide a window for reassessing valuations in the storage sector. Nomura Securities bluntly stated in the report that the market's worries are greatly overstated; the cycle for semiconductor investment to translate into actual capacity is extremely long. South Korea's investment plan of up to 480 trillion won will take at least 5 to 10 years to translate into actual capacity, and the high-profit HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) is squeezing general storage capacity, which is leading to a serious supply shortage in the market.Nomura Securities emphasized that Meta's decision is by no means a turning point for the reduction in demand for AI-related hardware. On the contrary, due to the current shortage of computing power leading to an upward trend in the price of a single token, Meta's entry into the computing power market is expected to stabilize token prices downward.
