first_img Samsung Electro-Mechanics proposed the direction of AI semiconductor substrate MLC integration

On September 10, Kim Sang-hoon, the head of the packaging division at Samsung Electro-Mechanics, delivered a speech at the KPCA Show International Seminar INSIGHT 2026 held at the Incheon Songdo Conference Center, proposing a multilayer core (MLC) technology direction to address the large-scale and high-multilayer challenges of AI semiconductor packaging substrates.Kim Sang-hoon stated that in the past, the single-layer core (SLC) method, which increased the thickness of a single CCL, led to increased difficulty in processing internal vias and circuits as the core thickened, and the size of the vias became limited. The MLC approach shifts to a combination of CCL and PPG multilayers, or even a mixed structure of two CCLs, which can simultaneously enhance rigidity and wiring freedom, while also allowing for ground or signal wiring to be arranged in the PPG layer. A bonding layer added between the two CCLs can provide more stable support for the substrate, but the process is more complex.Currently, the commonly used bump pitch in mass production is above 90μm, with around 85μm being the turning point for printed fine solder ball processes. The difficulty significantly increases around 80μm, and the 55-45μm range may shift towards metal bumps. Glass cores are another option, offering higher rigidity and lower thermal expansion coefficients, which help reduce warping in large packages, but issues related to fragility and micro-hole plating technology need to be addressed. The substrate must meet signal integrity, power integrity, and mechanical integrity requirements simultaneously, with high-performance packaging substrate layers expected to evolve from about 20 layers at the 90mm level to 120mm and even more than 40 layers.

Coinbase accelerates the promotion of Bitcoin anti-quantum measures: multiple parties discuss future asset migration plans

Coinbase announced that it has collaborated with Stanford University cryptography professor Dan Boneh and Localhost Research to hold a closed-door "Post-Quantum Bitcoin Workshop" at Stanford University, gathering Bitcoin developers, cryptography experts, researchers, institutional custodians, and hardware wallet specialists to discuss the technologies and migration plans for Bitcoin to address future quantum computing threats.The workshop focused on assessing the progress of quantum computing, post-quantum cryptography, and various post-quantum signature schemes applicable to Bitcoin, as well as discussing Ethereum's anti-quantum planning, the practical requirements faced by institutional custody businesses, and how to introduce post-quantum security mechanisms for Bitcoin through new output types. Participants believed that rather than predicting when quantum computing will pose a real threat to existing cryptographic systems, it is more important to establish well-tested response plans in advance.Quantum computing does not currently pose an urgent crisis, but the earlier research and coordination begin, the better we can avoid hasty network upgrades and asset migrations under pressure in the future. However, there is currently no consensus on a single post-quantum solution. Different solutions involve trade-offs in terms of security, transaction data size, hardware performance, key management, and the difficulty of user migration. Participants felt that Bitcoin's anti-quantum measures cannot rely solely on protocol layer upgrades, but must also consider how individual users, institutional custodians, wallets, and hardware devices generate, store, back up, and migrate keys and assets.

Gate and RQD* Clearing launch strategic cooperation to expand the collaborative space between digital assets and financial infrastructure

According to the official announcement from Gate, Gate is exploring strategic cooperation with the clearing and custody company RQD* Clearing. Both parties plan to advance discussions on cooperation in areas such as digital assets, clearing and market infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and asset tokenization, leveraging their respective capabilities in digital asset services and financial market infrastructure to find new business synergy opportunities.Gate's founder and CEO Dr. Han stated that as digital assets increasingly integrate with traditional financial markets, Gate is focused on building the infrastructure that supports this process and looks forward to exploring cooperation opportunities with RQD* Clearing in the areas of clearing, infrastructure, compliance, and asset tokenization.RQD* Clearing provides the necessary clearing, custody, and technical infrastructure for broker-dealers, registered investment advisors, overseas financial institutions, and proprietary trading firms to access the market, and relies on its self-developed technology to offer clients real-time business data and flexible platform support.This exploration of cooperation is expected to further connect Gate's global digital asset ecosystem with RQD* Clearing's infrastructure capabilities in the market, opening up more space for the integration of digital assets and traditional financial systems at the asset, transaction, and technical levels.

Minara AI launched the next-generation universal financial intelligence agent Minara Harness: supporting 24/7 round-the-clock investment research and automated trading across all asset classes

Minara officially released the next-generation universal financial intelligence tool Minara Harness, which is now available for download by users worldwide. Minara Harness covers multiple asset markets, allowing for investment research 24/7 and operating automated trading within the scope authorized by users. Users can query financial markets using natural language, generate research reports, develop quantitative strategies, and handle daily tasks such as programming, web searching, and document processing. The platform supports users in selecting their own underlying large models.On the investment research side, Minara Harness can simultaneously call multiple professional AI Agents to analyze the same investment opportunity from perspectives such as fundamentals, valuation, market trends, and potential risks. Users can view the information sources and different judgments of each Agent and decide whether to execute trades based on the research results. Minara Harness also supports writing trading strategies in natural language, automatically generating code, and completing backtesting. Users can also subscribe to other traders' strategies, view strategy codes, historical performance, and real-time operating metrics. Minara also offers an optional decision review mechanism, which can verify past judgments against subsequent market results and assess which experiences can be applied to future research. At the same time, Minara announced the benchmark test results of Harness, which outperformed OpenClaw, Hermes, and Claude Code in multiple tests and demonstrated leading performance in tasks such as financial reporting, web research, and spreadsheets.

first_img Castle opens Bitcoin savings stack to individuals, with dividends redeemable for Bitcoin at any ratio

According to Bitcoin Magazine, the Bitcoin fintech company Castle announced that it will open its automated Bitcoin financial stack to individual users and launch a pioneering feature in this category: users can choose to receive dividend income in cash or Bitcoin at any ratio.Castle's revenue comes from the perpetual preferred stock STRC issued by Strategy, which was incorporated into the platform earlier this year and currently pays an annualized dividend of 12% on a semi-monthly basis. Users can receive 100% of the dividends in cash, convert 100% to Bitcoin, or choose any ratio between the two. According to the company, most users opt for a compromise solution, using cash to cover daily expenses while automatically reinvesting the remaining portion into Bitcoin with each dividend payout.Castle co-founder and CTO João Almeida stated that investors have long faced a dilemma of choosing between stable income and holding Bitcoin. Castle allows users to achieve both cash flow and long-term upside by automatically converting a portion of the dividends into Bitcoin. Previously, Castle only catered to business clients such as restaurants, gyms, accounting firms, and e-commerce; the opening of personal accounts was due to repeated requests from business owners. Castle was co-founded by Almeida and CEO Stephen Cole and has received investments from Boost VC and Winklevoss Capital.
