On June 5th, AAOI posted a contrarian 10% price gain yesterday. Dubbed “The Stock God,” trader Serenity commented that AAOI has been one of his go-to dip-buy positions since the stock hit $28. Driven by robust demand for its 800G and 1.6T optical transceivers, AAOI could see its stock price double—or even triple—if the company delivers on its execution goals. Additionally, should the rumored partnership with AMD and NVIDIA (NVDA) pan out, supply chain bottlenecks could push average selling prices (ASP) higher and drive margin expansion—two factors the market has not yet fully priced into AAOI’s current valuation.

Hornby reported the vulnerability to the Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL), which coordinated an emergency cross-ecosystem response. A fix for the issue was completed on June 2. Shielded Labs confirmed the vulnerability is real and exploitable. Hornby’s exploit code, built in a local testing environment, can generate unlimited, undetectable counterfeit ZEC. Because of Orchard’s privacy features, there is no cryptographic way to prove whether the flaw was exploited before the fix launched. Still, Shielded Labs estimates the chance of pre-fix exploitation is low. The group is now developing a network upgrade proposal: it would deploy a new shielded pool and implement turnstile accounting for all Orchard pool tokens. This process would allow a
