According to the Korea Economic Daily, SK Hynix is preparing a shareholder return plan that includes stock buybacks and cash dividends, with a total scale expected to be about 100 trillion won (approximately 71 billion USD).Among them, the stock buyback scale is expected to reach 40 trillion won (approximately 28.4 billion USD), accounting for more than 2% of the company's total issued shares. This scale is close to the proportion of new shares issued for the American Depositary Receipts (ADR) listing previously by SK Hynix.Compared to last year's shareholder return scale of about 14.3 trillion won (including about 2.1 trillion won in cash dividends and about 12.2 trillion won in stock cancellations), this plan's scale has increased by about 7 times.Behind SK Hynix's large-scale return plan is its leading position in the AI infrastructure core storage HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) market. The company expects revenue of about 345.6 trillion won this year, with operating profit of about 266.4 trillion won, representing year-on-year growth of approximately 256% and 464%, respectively.Previously, SK Hynix stated in its earnings call that HBM4 shipments will officially ramp up in the second half of the year, while advanced process DRAM shipments will also increase, with overall shipments expected to be higher than in the first half.Market institutions believe that as the demand for AI computing power continues to grow, SK Hynix's improved profitability may drive a recovery in the company's valuation. HSBC previously pointed out that the market's pricing of SK Hynix's profit cycle has been relatively pessimistic, and this shareholder return plan may become one of the important factors for valuation improvement.

According to CoinDesk citing informed sources, the cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX spent two years discussing potential sales with multiple buyers, including competitor exchanges and payment platform Exodus, before announcing its shutdown, but ultimately failed to reach a deal. Informed sources indicated that potential acquirers were deterred mainly by the holding structure led by the company's founder, the ongoing shrinking of the business, and lingering reputation issues.Reports state that the company had hired investment bank Broadhaven to manage the sale process in early 2025. Informed sources said that although co-founders Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed had already exited the business after facing U.S. criminal charges in 2020, the three still controlled the vast majority of the company's equity, which made some buyers uneasy and complicated negotiations, as buyers typically hope to secure management's retention post-transaction through partial acquisition consideration.Additionally, during the sale process, BitMEX continued to lose market share as trading activity flowed to larger centralized exchanges and decentralized perpetual contract platforms, making potential acquirers reluctant to pay the revenue multiples typically offered to growth companies.

Lido Finance officially released a governance update, and Lido DAO has officially opened on-chain voting for the NEST automated buyback mechanism, with the voting window from August 5 to August 8 at 14:00 UTC.NEST is a set of automated, rule-based on-chain mechanisms that directly link the performance of the Lido protocol with the LDO token. The relevant design and parameters were approved through Snapshot voting in May. The core logic of NEST is to systematically buy back LDO tokens in decentralized markets through protocol revenue or liquidity controlled by the protocol, thereby continuously capturing the value growth of the protocol at the token level. The execution of the mechanism will revolve around the liquidity pair of LDO and wstETH, and specific implementation details are still being updated in the community forum.If this on-chain vote is approved, Lido will shift from a buyback plan driven by periodic governance to a continuous, predictable automated value distribution model.
