According to South Korean media reports, the Financial Services Commission, Bank of Korea, Financial Supervisory Service, and Korea Securities Depository have jointly announced relevant plans, aiming to transform the South Korean won from a restricted-convertible currency to a freely convertible one and improve the cross-border capital flow system. Under the framework of the Digital Asset Basic Act, the South Korean government intends to clarify the issuance and circulation rules for KRW-denominated stablecoins, providing an institutional basis for the entry of KRW-pegged stablecoins into the market. Furthermore, the Bank of Korea will advance a pilot project combining institutional central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) with tokenized government bonds, and participate in the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)-led Project Agora to explore a digital cross-border payment system.

Global semiconductor stocks have plunged sharply recently, with securities analysts noting that the price declines have far exceeded levels reflected by fundamentals. Lee Jaeman, a researcher at Hana Securities, stated: "Even when factoring in market concerns about the cyclical volatility of semiconductors, the recent sharp plunge in stock prices appears excessive." The researcher pointed out: "We believe the catalyst for a rebound in semiconductor companies' stock prices will be the financial results to be released successively by U.S. hyperscale cloud service providers starting from late July." He added: "The combined capital expenditure growth rate of Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon is projected to rise from 80% in Q1 2026 to 83% in Q2 and 92% in Q3." He also said: "Given the growth in investment demand, semiconductor companies can sustain high operating profit margins." (Jinshi)

Renowned crypto investor Ansem posted that he bought PUMP when its price rebounded to retest its previous support level, at an entry price of approximately $0.001675. His bullish thesis is primarily based on Pump.fun generating $30 million to $40 million in monthly revenue even during the bear market, and his view that Solana will again dominate retail on-chain activity in this cycle, with Pump.fun likely emerging as a key beneficiary. If Pump.fun launches an airdrop of over 300 million tokens, it could follow the incentive model of Jito and Jupiter in 2023, driving a rebound in on-chain trading volume, user attention, and activity. Additionally, Pump.fun is currently competing with high-profit crypto protocols including Hyperliquid and Polymarket. Ansem also noted that the Pump.fun team holds a large amount of PUMP tokens, which recently entered the unlock phase, and given the platform’s core business of driving retail participation in token speculation, the team has incentives to boost the token’s performance. If PUMP breaks below its previous low of approximately $0.0014, the above thesis will be invalidated.

According to a report from research firm Exponential View, the artificial intelligence (AI) industry has reached a critical revenue inflection point, marking initial validation of the business model where tech companies have poured hundreds of billions of dollars into building AI infrastructure in recent years. The report shows that AI-related revenue from global hyperscale and emerging cloud service providers has hit roughly $25 billion, marking the second consecutive quarter that this figure has exceeded the estimated depreciation costs of AI data centers and chips, which stand at around $21 billion. This milestone means revenue generated by the AI industry has started to offset cost pressures from infrastructure capital investment, as the AI economy transitions from an expansion phase relying solely on capital expenditure to a revenue validation stage. Exponential View notes that current AI revenue primarily stems from AI cloud services, GPU computing power rentals, large language model APIs, enterprise AI software, and generative AI applications. As corporate clients continue to increase their AI spending, AI commercialization is accelerating. However, the report also points out that the AI industry is still far from achieving high profitability. Due to high costs for GPUs, data centers, electricity, and model development, industry profit margins remain limited; current revenue is more about validating the sustainability of infrastructure investment rather than generating large-scale profits. The core competition in the AI industry will shift from "whether real demand exists" to "which companies can achieve large-scale profitability amid fierce competition". As model capabilities improve and costs decline, AI service prices may fall further, so enterprises need to boost profit margins through more efficient application scenarios and business models.
