Binance denied slowing down cooperation, stating that this move aims to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations.

SK Hynix announced that it will officially begin mass production of 16Gb LPDDR6 low-power mobile DRAM in the second half of this year, with the first products set to be featured in Xiaomi's next-generation flagship smartphone. The product was developed in March and utilizes 10nm class sixth-generation (1c) technology, offering improvements in data processing speed and energy efficiency compared to the previous generation. SK Hynix has been supplying LPDDR products to Xiaomi since 2013, maintaining a long-term partnership.LPDDR is primarily used in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, combining low power consumption with high performance. Recently, driven by demand from AI servers, LPDDR prices have continued to rise, with contract prices increasing steadily, leading to a 64.5% quarter-over-quarter growth in global mobile DRAM revenue in the first quarter. SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics are ahead of Micron in preparing for the mass production of LPDDR6. Additionally, the mass production of LPDDR6 is expected to accelerate competition in the SO-CAMM (low-power memory module) market, which is seen as a complementary solution for AI server CPUs. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang visited the SK Hynix booth at the Taipei International Computer Show in June, leaving a message of "LOVE SOCAMM" for the 192GB SO-CAMM.

According to a report by The Information citing informed sources, a Shanghai state-owned company whose name has not been disclosed has begun producing domestically-made immersion DUV lithography machines, planning to manufacture about 5 units this year and increase to about 20 units by 2027. The first batch of equipment will be delivered to major foundries such as SMIC, Hua Hong Semiconductor, and ChangXin Technology, but the equipment still needs to undergo verification for accuracy, stability, and production line compatibility, a process that may take several months or even longer.Currently, most components of the equipment come from domestic sources, but some key parts still rely on Japan, and the performance and manufacturing quality lag behind ASML. In comparison, ASML is set to deliver about 131 immersion DUV lithography machines as early as 2025. Although domestic equipment has made the leap from prototype testing to small-scale production, there is still a significant gap before it can replace ASML on a large scale. Previously, Reuters reported that the U.S. is considering tightening restrictions on the export of lithography equipment to China and on maintenance services in China, and the delivery of domestic equipment coincides with this backdrop.

According to Bitcoin.com, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is pushing for the CLARITY Act to complete Senate voting before Congress goes into recess. Article 303 of the bill grants the Treasury Department the authority to impose targeted sanctions on digital assets in foreign jurisdictions, while Article 305 allows exchanges to freeze suspicious transactions for up to 180 days.On-chain data shows that North Korea's Lazarus Group stole approximately $643 million in the first half of 2026, accounting for two-thirds of the total amount stolen in cryptocurrency globally during the same period ($972 million), which includes a $285 million attack on Drift Protocol in April and a $292 million attack on the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge. The organization has accumulated a total theft of $6.75 billion since 2019.Currently, Galaxy Research has lowered the probability of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026 to 30%. The bill still requires 60 votes to advance, meaning at least 7 Democratic senators need to cross party lines to support it.

According to Jinshi reports, BlueBay Chief Investment Officer Mark Dowding pointed out in a report that investors have reason to believe that Federal Reserve Chairman Waller will tend to make hawkish statements and do everything possible to consolidate his anti-inflation reputation, although he will not take any actual action at this time. This may further flatten the U.S. yield curve in the short term.Dowding also mentioned that given the continued deterioration of the U.S. fiscal situation and the rising expenditures of Trump in the Middle East conflict, these factors may lead to a steepening of the yield curve at some point in the future.

Mizuho analysts stated that if the Clarity Act, a U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill, is passed, it may generally benefit the digital asset industry, but the long-term impact on Circle could be negative. The reasoning is that regulatory clarity will attract more large institutions into the stablecoin market, further accelerating the commodification of stablecoins and eroding the revenue space of Circle's USDC.Mizuho believes that the main pressure Circle is currently facing comes from Open USD. This stablecoin project is supported by an alliance of over 140 financial, technology, and cryptocurrency companies, including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, and Coinbase. Unlike Circle's model, which retains about 38% of USDC reserve earnings, Open USD adopts a "pass-through" model, distributing nearly all reserve earnings to distributors while retaining only a small management fee. Analysts also pointed out that Coinbase, as the largest distributor of USDC, also supports Open USD, which may give it stronger bargaining power when renegotiating revenue-sharing agreements with Circle in the future. The distribution agreement between the two parties may be renegotiated as early as next month.
