TrendForce released data showing that in Q2 2026, the combined revenue of the world’s top five NAND flash manufacturers reached $68.87 billion, up 77% quarter-on-quarter, driven mainly by surging enterprise SSD demand fueled by AI servers and higher contract prices. Samsung Electronics reported revenue of $23.06 billion, up 70.7% quarter-on-quarter, retaining the top spot, though its market share fell from 31.6% to 29.3% as competitors grew faster. SK Hynix posted revenue of $14.27 billion, up 89.5% quarter-on-quarter, holding second place. Expansion of its 321-layer process and growing demand for high-capacity QLC enterprise SSDs lifted its market share from 17.6% to 18.2%. Micron, with a 99.2% revenue growth rate—the fastest among the top five—generated $11.85 billion in revenue, its market share rising from 13.9% to 15.1% as it overtook Kioxia to claim third place. Kioxia’s revenue stood at $10.72 billion, up 79.9% quarter-on-quarter, with its market share slightly dipping to 13.6%. Sandisk saw revenue growth of only 50.7%, the slowest among the top five, and its market share dropped from 13.9% to 11.4%. TrendForce projected that enterprise SSD demand for AI servers will remain robust in Q3, while major NAND manufacturers are concentrating investments on DRAM and HBM, resulting in limited new NAND supply. The upward price trend is expected to continue driving further growth in the industry’s overall revenue.

The Shanghai Intermediate People's Court of China has released a typical judicial case, analyzing the determination of whether "referral personnel" in telecom and online fraud cases involving virtual currencies constitute accomplices to fraud. From February 2022 to April 2023, the defendants, seeking illicit profits, assisted upstream fraud crimes in referral activities—using virtual phone software to lure victims into joining fraud-related groups, ultimately leading to 30 victims being defrauded of a total of over 2.34 million RMB by an overseas fraud organization (currency unit same hereinafter). The overseas fraud organization transferred the funds to the suspects' trading accounts via virtual currencies. The three defendants in this case were convicted of fraud and sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 10 to 13 years. The Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People's Court noted that in telecom and online fraud cases, "referral personnel" may, depending on the circumstances, be convicted as accomplices to fraud or the crime of illegal use of information networks. The key lies in determining whether they have formed clear criminal intent communication with the upstream fraud syndicate and whether there is a stable division of labor and collaboration. When determining the criminal liability of "referral personnel" in judicial practice, factors such as their role in the criminal chain, level of organizational management, connections with upstream criminals, profit-making methods, and abnormal behavioral manifestations should be comprehensively considered. A distinction must be made between acts that only provide general network services without forming a fraud conspiracy, and "referral" acts that knowingly participate in the implementation of fraud.
