**June 6: Global Storage Sector Pulls Back Amid NVIDIA Memory Configuration Adjustment Report** Global storage equities posted a broad pullback on June 6, driven by a report from chip industry research firm SemiAnalysis about planned tweaks to memory setups for NVIDIA’s next-generation Vera Rubin NVL72 server platform. On June 5, SK Hynix plummeted 9.92%, while the Chinese A-share memory index fell roughly 4%. Leading decliners included Biwin Storage, Jiahe Long, Netac Technology, and Zhaoxin Innovation. The prior trading day, Micron Technology closed down 7.74%. The SemiAnalysis report noted NVIDIA plans to cut the system memory capacity of SOCAMM modules paired with its Vera CPU from 192GB to 96GB, reducing expected per-rack costs from $7.6 million to $6.8 million—a roughly 10% savings. The market initially read this as a signal of weakening AI server storage demand, sparking the sector’s sell-off. However, multiple institutions later clarified this adjustment only affects

On June 6, HTX market data shows Worldcoin (WLD) tumbled more than 20%, trading at $0.4319 at press time with a market capitalization of $2.247 billion. Arthur Hayes announced today he has liquidated all his WLD holdings — a dramatic about-face from his public commitment to holding the token less than 24 hours prior. Hayes had framed WLD as a liquidity proxy for AI-themed trading, arguing that as SpaceX ramps up focus on its AI and connectivity businesses, a strong pre-IPO performance would lift the broader AI and tech sector. For retail investors unable to access SpaceX equity directly, Hayes positioned WLD as a convenient alternative. However, SpaceX’s private pre-IPO price has plummeted sharply in recent days: data from Hyperliquid shows it’s fallen over 50% in just that period, eroding the appeal of AI-themed trading and prompting Hayes to exit his WLD position. WLD had defied market trends with a roughly 70% gain over the past month, but that advance has narrowed to around 4

June 6, per Coinglass data, if Bitcoin breaks through the $63,000 threshold, the cumulative short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $1.513 billion. Conversely, if Bitcoin drops below $59,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity for leading CEXs will reach $989 million. BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts set to be liquidated or the precise value of liquidated contracts. The bars on the chart instead represent the relative importance of individual liquidation clusters compared to adjacent clusters—this is what is referred to as "intensity". As such, the chart shows the extent to which an underlying asset’s price will be impacted once it reaches a specific level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates a more intense price reaction due to a liquidity cascade event.
