Citirni analyst Jukan referenced Goldman Sachs’ monthly conference call remarks on the memory sector, noting clients’ strong resistance to DRAM price hikes approaching 30%, leading to a modest downward revision of third-quarter DRAM price growth expectations. Meanwhile, the outlook for NAND has grown more optimistic: AI-related KV cache offloading demand continues to exceed expectations, paired with an emerging trend of using NAND to replace expensive DRAM, further supporting NAND demand. The analyst holds a positive view on SK Hynix’s second-quarter performance, projecting revenue of approximately 85 trillion won and a gross margin of 63%. Relevant stocks include SK Hynix, Micron, and SanDisk. The commentary also reveals structural shifts in the memory market. Previously, explosive HBM demand from AI servers drove DRAM prices soaring, but once price increases hit the 30% threshold, clients began resisting further hikes, leading to a temporary slowdown in the pace of DRAM price growth. NAND is taking on a new role in AI infrastructure: KV cache is critical in inference scenarios, and using cheaper NAND to partially replace expensive DRAM to reduce costs is becoming a practical trend. This divergence also implies that internal capital rotation within the storage industry chain may continue; investors should exercise greater caution regarding short-term earnings expectations for DRAM-related stocks, while the fundamental improvement in the NAND segment may not yet be fully priced in.

Kraken Institutional has announced a partnership with on-chain yield platform Upshift, allowing qualified institutional clients to earn returns on idle Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins and other crypto assets directly within Kraken’s compliant custody framework.

Summer.fi has released an announcement stating that following the July 6 attack on its Lazy Summer protocol, the team assessed there was no viable path to continue operations, so it will gradually wind down its business. The attack directly resulted in approximately $6.1 million in losses, and a significant portion of the team’s own assets were held in the targeted vaults, further depleting the operating capital needed for reconstruction. Per the announcement, the Summer.fi application will remain accessible until August 31, while the future of the Lazy Summer protocol will be determined by the Lazy Summer DAO. The DAO is currently working to restore withdrawal and redemption processes for all vaults, including the two previously impacted ones.

According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, a spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the country's armed forces have made clear that any aggression against Iranian territory will inevitably be met with an equivalent response. There are currently no plans for negotiations, and Iran is focusing on defense. A memorandum of understanding is a set of mutual commitments; if the other party violates it, Iran will cease fulfilling its obligations, a principle that will be followed moving forward.
