Xiaomi officially released the Xuanjie O3 chip. The new generation Xuanjie O3 is the world's first flagship mobile processor (SoC) that supports LPDDR6 memory chips. According to reporters from the Financial Associated Press, domestic storage leader Changxin Storage (CXMT) is a core partner for Xiaomi's Xuanjie O3 LPDDR6 memory.In March this year, there were reports that Changxin LPDDR6 had sent samples to key customers, and in early August, multiple media outlets reported that it was nearing the end of verification. With the launch of the Xuanjie O3, this marks the first application of domestic LPDDR6 chip products in flagship processors, which also means that domestic low-power memory has officially entered the global top tier.

According to The Block, the Blockchain Association has submitted a letter of opinion regarding the stablecoin issuer rules proposed jointly by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Reserve. The association supports limiting the Customer Identification Program (CIP) obligations to transactions where issuers directly face customers in the primary market, and it should not extend to peer-to-peer transfer activities in the secondary market.At the same time, the association calls on regulators to further clarify definitions such as "account," "customer," and "digital asset service provider," excluding one-time redemptions and other non-continuous businesses, and to avoid creating overlapping compliance burdens with anti-money laundering rules. The association stated that the implementation of the rules should balance stablecoin security, operability, and space for industry innovation.

Asset management company Franklin Templeton plans to incorporate the tokenized money market fund Franklin Onchain U.S. Government Money Fund (BENJI) as holdings or collateral into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds, involving an asset scale of approximately $2.6 billion, with the earliest launch possible in the fourth quarter.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a no-action letter for this structure, allowing funds under Franklin Templeton to use BENJI for cash management and collateral purposes, but it still requires approval from the boards of the respective funds. The company currently manages over 130 ETFs and approximately $82 billion in ETF assets, with mutual fund assets around $790 billion.Franklin Templeton has distributed tokenized funds through digital wallets and plans to launch more tokenized products for cash or collateral management across its broader fund product line. The market size for tokenized assets has now exceeded $38 billion.

According to ChaoXiang Research, a Goldman Sachs report pointed out that cryptocurrency trading volume fell by 30% in July and 21% in August, marking a continuous decline for 10 months, lasting longer than the median of the previous five cycles. The trading volume has dropped by 75% from its peak, while the cryptocurrency market value rebounded by 21% in the past week. Goldman Sachs believes that if the market value maintains at the current level, a turning point in trading volume may appear.On the regulatory front, 35% of institutional investors view regulatory uncertainty as the biggest obstacle, while 32% believe that regulatory clarity is the primary catalyst. The SEC recently proposed an innovation exemption, and over 10 new digital asset companies received OCC bank licenses in 2026, with more than 15 cryptocurrency firms included in the federal banking system. Cryptocurrency companies are expected to reduce costs by an average of about 5% in 2026, driving an increase in operating profit margins of about 5.8 percentage points.Goldman Sachs holds a cautiously optimistic view for the second half of the year, with sector valuations at the 30th percentile over the past five years. They recommend COIN (target price $196), HOOD ($124), IBKR ($114, Goldman Sachs' U.S. conviction list), and FIGR ($43). The logic for the three types of assets is different: traditional brokerages look for a reversal in September, predicting the market based on the election cycle, while cryptocurrency targets have three catalysts: market value rebound, cost reduction, and regulatory reform.

According to TrendForce, at Hot Chips 2026, Micron emphasized that the progress of AI computing power is faster than storage improvements, and the challenge of the "storage wall" is becoming increasingly prominent. Micron Fellow Raghu Sriramaneni pointed out that the computing power of AI accelerators increases approximately threefold every two years, while the bandwidth of HBM increases by less than double during the same period, and the gap may further widen. The deepening reliance on HBM also brings reliability issues; Micron cited Meta Llama 3 data indicating that HBM failures account for about 17% of unexpected training interruptions. New designs that blur the boundaries between computing and storage may help break through the bottleneck.The expansion of HBM also brings area and supply pressures: the latest generation of packaging integrates two GPUs with eight 12-layer HBM4 stacks, with storage accounting for about 90% of the semiconductor area, more than eight times the area occupied by GPUs; achieving equivalent capacity with HBM requires about three times the wafers of standard DDR5 DRAM. Thermal management has also become a key constraint, with solutions such as liquid cooling and ultra-thin chips being explored.Micron is advancing innovations in interconnect, packaging, and cooling, including SerDes and die-to-die PHY optimized for storage, larger size SiP and advanced packaging with glass substrates, as well as liquid cooling and hybrid bonding, and is developing fusion bonding to reduce thermal resistance and enhance data throughput.

The Ethereum community has released a deposit contract EIP proposal that supports post-quantum computing. The proposal aims to introduce a new contract that supports variable-length public keys and credential metadata, along with a clear scheme identifier, where scheme 0 is reserved for the current BLS deposits.The new contract no longer relies on the Merkle tree structure of the old deposit contract but instead passes deposit information to the consensus layer through execution requests derived from EIP-7685 logs. This contract features an irreversible mode controlled by protocol system calls: deposits are initially disabled, BLS deposits are enabled at a specified timestamp, and BLS deposits are permanently disabled at a later timestamp, with no option for re-enabling. During the migration period, the execution client must merge deposit requests from the new and old contracts.

According to Nikkei Asia, the Japanese government is promoting the creation of a data-sharing platform that leverages artificial intelligence to analyze data shared by manufacturers, aiming to increase the speed of new material development by about 10 times. This plan is led by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and aims to accelerate the discovery of new chemical compositions and formulations by aggregating materials-related data from companies using AI.The report states that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry aims to launch this platform as early as the fiscal year 2027. Currently, the practice of using AI to explore new material combinations is gradually becoming common in the materials industry, and Japan hopes to shorten the traditional trial-and-error cycle and improve industrial R&D efficiency by unifying data and computing infrastructure.

The blockchain network BNB Chain has enabled the Pasteur hard fork on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) mainnet. The upgrade involves cross-chain bridge validation, validator authorization, staking, and governance security, while enhancing block capacity without changing the 450 milliseconds block time.This upgrade includes BEP-682, BEP-695, and BEP-675, which respectively involve duplicate validator entries, validator key rotation and penalty governance, and block submission processes. In the internal testing environment QANet, the new process increased throughput from 1,237 transactions per second to 2,324 transactions per second, but the related data comes from controlled tests and not mainnet measurement results.
