first_img The supply chain states that TSMC will increase wafer prices by 3% to 6% starting from January 2027

Supply chain sources say that TSMC's wafer foundry prices are set to rise again, with adjustments to Wafer Out prices based on different processes starting from January 2027, with an increase of about 3% to 6%. The utilization rate of 8-inch factories exceeds 100%, and processes below 45 nanometers are fully loaded, with order visibility extending to 2030. The increase for advanced processes is higher, while mature and specialty processes are negotiated individually based on products, utilization rates, and customer conditions. TSMC has not responded to market rumors.Supply chain sources indicate that TSMC's 2-nanometer and 3-nanometer processes are in short supply, and the pressure on advanced packaging capacities such as CoWoS has not been alleviated. Customers find it difficult to switch suppliers immediately even in the face of price increases. The factory in Arizona, USA, reflects higher manufacturing costs, and the foundry quotes remain high. After the price adjustment, quotes from foundries such as Samsung Electronics, Intel, United Microelectronics Corporation, and World Advanced, as well as testing and packaging factories and IC design customers, may also be affected. United Microelectronics Corporation, Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, and World Advanced have announced price increase strategies, which will continue until 2027.The supply chain states that this wave of AI demand has increased the need for PMIC, MCU, driver ICs, analog ICs, and sensors, in addition to GPUs, ASICs, and HBM. IC design companies point out that after the wafer price increase, product costs need to be reassessed, with higher-end GPUs and ASICs having relatively larger pass-through space. TSMC Chairman Wei Zhejia has stated that customers do not switch wafer foundry partners just because they are dissatisfied today. Supply chain sources say that orders transferred from Google, Apple, NVIDIA, and others mostly involve non-core chips or limited-scale orders, with no significant changes observed in the high-end process customers' chip placements.

Data: In 18 instances of tracking resignations, the price of the currency dropped in 15 instances three months later

Based on RootData's character and X influence data, and combined with market samples from 28 projects that launched on Binance Spot in the past two years, the dynamics of individuals and project performance show a noteworthy accompanying relationship.In terms of onboarding, among the 24 projects where character and influence data can be matched, in the months where 77 projects recorded new member entries, 65 saw a month-on-month increase in X influence, accounting for 84.4%, which is higher than the 67.4% in months without recorded new members. The median month-on-month growth rates for the two groups were 3.4% and 1.6%, respectively. For example, Vana added three new positions for growth, ecology, and product directors in August 2024, and its average monthly X influence rose from 189.14 in August to 607.50 in November, an increase of 221.2%.In terms of departures, 7 projects formed 18 comparable three-month observation windows, of which 15 saw a decline in coin prices; among the 17 windows with market capitalization data, 14 experienced a decrease in circulating market capitalization. The head of AI agency business at BIO Protocol left in October 2025, and from the end of that month to the end of January 2026, the coin price and circulating market capitalization decreased by 60.1% and 46.7%, respectively.The above statistics reflect accompanying phenomena. Continuously updating information on personnel onboarding, departures, and position replacements can help users track team expansion, organizational adjustments, and core talent loss, providing more basis for interpreting changes in influence and valuation.

Analysis: Bitcoin prices are diverging from demand, with ETF inflows and trading platforms transferring out holdings providing short-term support

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost pointed out that although the price of Bitcoin is rising, sustained buying pressure is still difficult to rebuild, and market signals are mixed. The cumulative spot demand over the past 30 days is -180,000 BTC, still negative, while futures demand is +54,000 BTC, still positive but slightly declining. The total average demand improved from -188,000 BTC to -126,000 BTC, narrowing the gap but still remaining in negative territory. Recently, there has been a divergence between price and total demand; Bitcoin's price has risen, but total demand has not turned positive, indicating that the increase is more driven by reduced selling pressure rather than strong buying.Looking at different sectors, the demand recovery is not uniform. For institutions, the geopolitical and macro environment is poor, but the Coinbase Premium, weighted by trading volume, has briefly turned positive, indicating that U.S. spot prices occasionally have a premium over other markets, and institutional selling pressure has significantly eased. ETFs have seen the biggest change in this round, with demand completely reversing compared to this summer, having recently net purchased about 70,000 BTC. The cumulative net inflow for 2026 is still about -17,000 BTC, but it is close to turning positive. In terms of trading platforms, the entire month of September has been characterized by net outflows, leaning towards accumulation rather than distribution. Bitcoin leaving trading platforms usually means that short-term selling pressure is lighter. Analyst Darkfost summarized that the current price increase is not due to enhanced buying pressure, but rather because investors have not continued to increase selling pressure at higher price levels, and the market structure remains fragile.
