A whale that reaped over $23.77 million in profits from the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ICO has reawakened after six years of dormancy, offloading 12,600 ETH in the past two days.

Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra stated during an earnings call held early this morning that, “In the robotics sector, ongoing advances in simulation, foundation models, and integrated software-hardware technology stacks are accelerating the development of Physical AI. This is creating a growing and substantial opportunity for high-bandwidth, low-power memory and storage devices, as these technologies underpin real-time perception, reasoning, and control. Humanoid robots carry 10 times more storage capacity than the average L2+ class vehicle. We anticipate a sustained, sizable multi-decade storage demand cycle will begin in the latter part of this decade.”

According to CNBC, fueled by surging AI demand, memory prices have continued to rise, pushing Micron Technology (MU) to a record-high profit margin, surpassing major U.S. tech firms including NVIDIA and Meta to claim the top spot among large-cap U.S. tech companies. Micron released its earnings report on Wednesday, showing its fiscal third-quarter gross margin rose to 84.9%, up from 74.9% in the prior quarter and far exceeding 39% in the year-ago period. This level outpaces Meta’s latest quarterly gross margin of 81.9% and NVIDIA’s 75%. Micron CFO Mark Murphy said on the earnings call: “The fiscal third-quarter gross margin more than doubled year-over-year, setting a new record for the company.” Net revenue for the quarter hit $41.46 billion, an increase of over $20 billion from the prior quarter (which had already been the company’s highest in its 48-year history), while net profit reached $28.24 billion, surging more than 100% from the previous record set in the prior quarter. As of Wednesday’s close, Micron’s stock has rallied over 700% in the past year, lifting its market cap above $1 trillion, and it added another 14% in after-hours trading. NVIDIA, AMD and Google all rely on Micron’s high-bandwidth memory for AI processors and related systems. The memory shortage has driven up prices, also pushing higher component costs for consumer electronics makers like Apple. Apple CEO Tim Cook previously said iPhones would need price hikes to address what he called an “unsustainable” memory situation. Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra noted the company is signing long-term strategic client agreements, some of which include price ranges, with floor prices that will enable Micron to generate strong profit margins far exceeding peak quarterly levels in past cycles. Micron projects its fiscal fourth-quarter gross margin will be around 86%, and forecasts tight market conditions will persist beyond 2027.

Sonic Labs announced in a post that its original token economic model set an annual inflation of 47,625,000 S tokens to support Sonic’s growth. The first such allocation was minted on June 18, 2025. This year, the planned inflation has not been executed, and the team is actively pushing to halt further increases to S’s total supply. The remaining unresolved issue is validator rewards, as the network requires funding for its own security, and the team is exploring relevant solutions. The decision directly responds to demands from the community and stakeholders, with more details to be shared as work advances.
