Per Lookonchain’s monitoring, a whale address dormant for over a year has resumed buying PUMP tokens, spending 5,000 SOL (about $358,000) to acquire 242.66 million PUMP. More than a year ago, the whale bought 10,957 SOL at an average price of $237 (worth roughly $2.6 million back then) and has since staked the entire amount. Despite earning 1,206 SOL in staking rewards, the sharp drop in SOL’s price means the whale’s total holdings now carry an unrealized loss of over $1.7 million, a loss of approximately 66%.

On Monday morning, the A-share semiconductor sector briefly tracked a pullback in related South Korean stocks. The KOSDAQ index triggered a program trading circuit breaker during intraday trading, with a maximum drop of 3.8%. Chip giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix saw sharp opening dips, but the decline was soon halted by news of a new round of expansion in South Korea's storage chip chain. Earlier in the afternoon, the South Korean government released its latest industrial plan. President Lee Jae-myung stated that South Korea must push forward with the construction of chip production facilities as soon as possible, as existing industrial parks are approaching their carrying limits in terms of water resources and infrastructure. Going forward, the country will focus on expanding semiconductor supply capacity through investments in its southwestern region. Under the plan, South Korea plans to build four chip manufacturing plants in the southwestern region, with a total investment of about 800 trillion won, and will allocate at least 30 trillion won over the next 15 years to semiconductor sectors including next-generation memory, edge AI, and defense. In response to the news, South Korea's KOSPI index turned from decline to gain in the afternoon, while related A-share stocks rebounded in tandem. Among them, Huahong Qingke surged 19.01%, Microtech Corporation rose 8.58%, Anji Technology gained 9.46%, Shanghai Silicon Industry climbed 11.30%, Coremax increased 9.06%, and Huace Testing & Control advanced 10.21%.
