Citigroup analysts pointed out that leading memory chip manufacturers are expected to benefit from the structural changes in the development of artificial intelligence. The agency anticipates that continuous learning will drive a significant increase in memory demand, leading to a supply shortage in the market that will continue until 2031. Continuous learning strengthens models by training on new tasks and knowledge, which will create a sustained demand for model updates and access to historical data, driving the storage usage of products such as HBM, server DDR5, and eSSD.Citigroup expects HBM bit demand to grow by 62% year-on-year to 75.2 billion gigabits in 2027, and by 69% year-on-year to 127 billion gigabits in 2028. Global DRAM demand is expected to grow by 30% and 35% year-on-year in 2027 and 2028, respectively, while supply is expected to grow by only 19% and 22% during the same period, resulting in supply-demand ratios of -8.7% and -9.7%. In terms of NAND, demand is expected to grow by 29% and 33% year-on-year in 2027 and 2028, respectively, exceeding supply growth of 21% and 25%, with supply-demand ratios of -6.1% and -5.5%.Citigroup's preferred storage targets include Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Micron, Sandisk, and Kioxia, corresponding to the logic of storage shortages brought about by continuous learning, demand for HBM and server DDR5, DRAM supply shortages, and tightening supply of high-density eSSD and NAND.

According to The Defiant, Kraken has launched three xStocks vaults, allowing eligible customers to deposit SPYx, QQQx, and NVDAx into the vaults while earning floating returns while retaining exposure to tokenized stocks or ETFs. The vault initially shows an estimated net APY of 2% for SPYx and QQQx, and 1.8% for NVDAx. Kraken charges a 25% performance fee on vault earnings, and the displayed interest rate has already deducted this fee; rewards will be converted into the same type of xStock and automatically reinvested into the customer's balance.The strategy is designed by Sentora and is responsible for risk management, while Veda provides the vault infrastructure. After customers deposit xStock, Kraken transfers it to an embedded self-custody wallet on Ink, packages it, and deposits it into the Veda vault; Sentora then cross-chain transfers the packaged xStock to Solana and deposits it as collateral in the Kamino lending market. After borrowing stablecoins, it is deployed into selected DeFi strategies, and the returns are ultimately converted back into the deposited xStock. Customers do not need an external wallet or mnemonic phrase but can export the private key; redemption requires a three-day wait for funds to arrive.Kraken's documentation shows that the strategy uses leverage to generate returns by borrowing stablecoins and lists risks such as smart contracts, liquidity, bad debts, liquidation, cross-chain execution, and downstream assets, with losses shared proportionally among vault users. xStock holders do not have voting rights, dividend rights, or legal claims to the underlying stocks. The vault is currently available to the European Economic Area and other supported markets, while users from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and sanctioned countries cannot use it.

DeFi researcher Ignas stated that Robinhood previously set a record of over $6 million in daily transaction fees, with about 10% flowing to Arbitrum, while the revenue ultimately distributed to Ethereum L1 was "pitifully small."Ignas believes that this model may not be entirely unacceptable. Just as Uber initially used subsidies to achieve growth, Ethereum might attract traditional financial businesses into its ecosystem through L2 and gradually increase "rent" after a high conversion cost is established in the ecosystem. However, if Ethereum developers can formulate a clear strategy to first attract more L2 and then monetize once the conversion costs are sufficiently high, this could actually become a favorable long-term business model for L1. Yet, there is currently no clear strategy seen in Ethereum's roadmap, and he questioned, "Am I misunderstanding?"

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has proposed amendments to the Payment Services Act, requiring stablecoin issuers to always hold at least 100% of the circulating tokens in equivalent assets as reserves, which must be segregated from the issuer's own funds and only held with licensed financial institutions.The proposal also prohibits issuers from paying interest or other yields linked to stablecoin holdings to holders, on the grounds that stablecoins are intended for payments rather than investment or yield generation. This stance is consistent with the U.S. GENIUS Act and the EU MiCA regulation. The consultation also considers limited recognition for foreign stablecoins regulated under equivalent overseas frameworks. The consultation closes on October 16, and the implementation date has not yet been announced.MAS Deputy Managing Director Ho Hern Shin stated that trusted and well-regulated stablecoins can serve as reliable settlement assets in the tokenized financial market, while reducing risks for users and the broader financial system.

According to CNBC, Gemini Space Station won a legal victory in August, with arbitrators ruling that the cryptocurrency exchange platform did not mislead users and is not responsible for the collapse of its Earn lending program. The claim was made by a user of the digital asset company's lending program Earn at the end of 2024. According to the ruling, there was insufficient evidence to prove that Gemini lied to customers or was negligent in its due diligence with its main lending partner, Genesis Global Capital.The Earn program was launched in 2021, allowing users to earn up to 7.4% annualized returns by lending cryptocurrency. Under this program, Gemini lent assets to institutional borrowers, with Genesis acting as an intermediary. However, in November 2022, Gemini suspended withdrawals from the Earn program, angering some of its more than 300,000 users. This move came shortly after Genesis suspended new loan issuance and redemptions due to a liquidity crisis caused by the downturn in the cryptocurrency market that year. After the freeze on Earn withdrawals, several customers filed legal complaints against Gemini. The New York Attorney General also sued Gemini over the Earn program and reached a $50 million settlement with the company in 2024.In February 2024, Gemini announced that the company had reached a "principled settlement" with Genesis and other creditors regarding the Genesis bankruptcy case. Three months later, Earn users received $2.18 billion in digital assets in physical form, equivalent to 97% of the digital assets owed to Earn users, which is $1 billion more than when Genesis suspended withdrawals in 2022.
