According to leaks from crypto KOL @amathxbt and others, Circle’s public blockchain Arc may have launched privately. Cross-chain protocols LayerZero and LI.FI have been deployed to the Arc network but have not been made publicly available for community testing. Per public information, Arc is a public Layer 1 blockchain positioned as the "Economic OS of the Internet," offering shared, composable infrastructure to support economic contracts, stablecoins, tokenized assets, and global market operations. In May this year, Circle officially released the ARC whitepaper, outlining its design framework for ARC as the native coordinating asset of the Arc blockchain network. Arc’s public testnet launched in October 2025, with its mainnet expected to go live in summer 2026.

Famed US stock short seller and Morgan Stanley chief strategist Michael Wilson and his team noted in their latest research report that the logic underpinning the US stock market is undergoing a profound shift: the baton of earnings growth is passing from tech giants to a broader set of market constituents. The median earnings per share (EPS) growth rate of components in the S&P 1500 Composite Index has surpassed 10%. Wilson attributes this broad-based rally primarily to the earnings resilience of midstream companies. Of particular note, the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index has begun outperforming its market-cap weighted counterpart for the first time since 2022. This signals that while tech giants are rallying sharply, traditional industries closely tied to macroeconomic growth are demonstrating stronger defensiveness and growth momentum.

Bank of America stated in a July 11 research report that the global memory industry’s ASP-driven supercycle remains ongoing, projecting global DRAM revenue will surge 325% year-over-year in 2026 to reach $568.8 billion. The report forecasts NAND revenue will grow 299% over the same period to $323.1 billion, with combined DRAM and NAND revenue hitting $891.8 billion—up 315% from 2025. Combined revenue of the two product categories could climb further to $1.25 trillion by 2027.
