Samsung’s hybrid bonding technology is expected to be used in NVIDIA’s next-generation Feynman AI accelerator, with the chip featuring custom HBM.

2026.07.21 18:27:14

Samsung Electronics has commenced construction of a Die-to-Wafer (D2W) hybrid bonding production line at its P5 plant in Pyeongtaek, targeting advanced packaging for next-generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and logic semiconductors. Samsung’s top pick for core equipment suppliers is Dutch firm Besi; the company plans to procure around 50 hybrid bonding machines, each priced at roughly 6 billion won (about $4.3 million) — twice the cost of competing products. However, negotiations have moved slowly due to Samsung’s demand for custom modifications to the machine architecture, and Besi, which also supplies TSMC and Micron, is cautious about modifying equipment exclusively for Samsung. Samsung is simultaneously evaluating local alternatives: its subsidiary SEMES has completed development of D2W hybrid bonding machines and delivered samples for validation earlier this year. Hanwha Semitech finished developing its second-generation "SHB2 Nano" in February, and sent samples to SK Hynix in April. Its cluster system integrating Equipment Front End Module (EFEM), plasma activation, and cleaning modules offers distinct competitive advantages. This technology replaces traditional thermocompression bonding with hybrid copper bonding, enabling direct bonding of copper and dielectric materials and drastically shortening interconnect lengths. Its core application is custom HBM: vertically stacking HBM DRAM layers directly on logic dies containing customers’ computing circuits and intellectual property (IP) to form 3D system-in-package (SiP) solutions. Citrini analyst Jukan stated that hybrid bonding is expected to be used in NVIDIA’s next-generation AI accelerator Feynman, which will adopt custom HBM, with the technology’s deployment timeline "pushed back from HBM4E". Samsung’s internal projections indicate large-scale commercialization will not be achieved until around 2029–2030, a timeline that aligns with NVIDIA’s expected window for Feynman.

Vitalik: Ethereum’s scaling roadmap will integrate the advantages of UTXO-style models, ultimately achieving ultra-large-scale expansion without sacrificing decentralization and censorship resistance.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik published an article outlining the core goals of Ethereum’s current scaling strategy. He first acknowledged the Bitcoin community’s pioneering technical contributions, then clarified that Ethereum’s proposed scaling strategy is advancing along that direction. Vitalik emphasized: “We want Ethereum to have both UTXO-style state, dynamic state, and all the advantages of both.” This means Ethereum is seeking to integrate the Bitcoin UTXO model’s strengths in efficient state management, light node verification, and scalability with its own flexible account model, smart contract ecosystem, and dynamic state capabilities. Vitalik reiterated that the ultimate goal of Ethereum’s scaling efforts is to achieve “hyperscaling” for the vast majority of activities on the network, without sacrificing three core attributes: decentralization, node operation convenience, and censorship resistance. Ethereum’s roadmap is shifting from a sole focus on scalability to a systematic effort to strike a better balance between scalability and decentralized resilience.

Binance Life token surges 8%, briefly breaks through $0.54

According to HTX market data, after CZ announced he would donate the 'Binance Life' token from his public address to Giggle Academy and deactivate that address, the Binance Life token rallied 8% in the short term, breaking above $0.54. It is now trading at $0.51, with a 24-hour gain of 8.2%.

CZ announced that he will disable public addresses to prevent his operations from being overinterpreted by the community, noting that BNB and "Binance Life" will be donated to Giggle Academy.

Binance founder CZ stated at Binance Square that many people are overinterpreting the meaning behind his actions. Today, while testing Trust Wallet, he found so many meme tokens in the wallet that it was difficult to even locate BNB. He then attempted to burn some of the tokens, a move that sparked extensive community discussion. CZ noted he realized he could never fully "clean up" all meme coins from that address: the more he burns, the more people will send coins to it. The transparent nature of blockchain means any activity on this address will be overinterpreted by the community. He even considered requesting the Trust Wallet team to add an "Ignore Coin" feature to prevent interface clutter, but pointed out that 99.99% of users would never use such a function. His plan is to donate BNB and the "Binance Life" tokens purchased with BNB to Giggle Academy, then cease using this address and leave it as a burn address.

Tom Lee: In the AI era, the scarcity of the "human" element in investments is emerging as a core pricing factor. I am heavily invested in Robinhood because I am bullish on Vlad Tenev.

BitMine, the firm holding the largest Ethereum treasury, Chairman Tom Lee laid out a core thesis in an interview: In AI and high-growth sectors, a founder’s vision and leadership have emerged as the true differentiated competitive advantage, even outweighing technology itself. The directional sense of top-tier founders cannot be replaced by AI. Sam Altman would never ask ChatGPT “What should I do?”; the same applies to Anthropic’s founder and Elon Musk. OpenAI’s survival hinges entirely on Sam Altman himself, not on passively feeding questions to AI for answers. Tom Lee argues this is the key differentiator: a founder’s foresight and judgment cannot be replicated by AI, even as models can be open-sourced and technology can be caught up. Under this framework, Tom Lee classifies Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev into the same “founder vision-driven” category. Robinhood operates in markets like retail trading, new-generation investors, and fintech penetration—all growing far faster than the overall economy. Vlad’s leadership and vision are critical to the company’s ability to seize these opportunities. A major reason Tom Lee’s own firm Fundstrat holds a heavy Robinhood position is Vlad Tenev himself: rather than focusing solely on valuations or short-term metrics, Fundstrat recognizes the founder’s long-term vision and execution. In the AI era’s investment framework, the scarcity of “human” factors is becoming a core pricing driver.

Meme coin MarsCoin slumped to a market cap of $7 million, plunging 65% in a single minute after nearly halving in value.

According to GMGN data, the BSC-based meme coin MarsCoin (contract address starting with 0x1706) saw a sharp short-term plunge after surging over 400x in a single day, hitting an all-time high of over $36 million in market cap earlier tonight. Its market cap then nearly halved to $21 million within an hour, before plummeting 65% in one minute at 22:07, dropping to $7 million. A wallet address linked to Binance CEO CZ showed unusual activity this afternoon, burning 4,444 units of the MarsCoin meme token. Separately, Binance Alpha previously listed a token of the same name, MarsCoin (contract address starting with 0xfe18), which currently has a market cap of $52 million, up 6% on the day. BlockBeats reminds users that most meme coins lack real-world use cases, are highly volatile, and investors should exercise caution.

U.S. debt risks have surged, leading to a shift toward short-term Treasury bonds to meet growing borrowing demands.

The U.S. Treasury’s reliance on short-term debt is growing: Currently, U.S. Treasury bills make up 21% of the tradable Treasury securities market, a share near its highest level since 2020. Back then, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. federal government’s borrowing spiked. This is far above the 10-15% range recorded between 2012 and 2019. By contrast, during the 2008 financial crisis, this proportion reached roughly 34%. Meanwhile, the U.S. government is increasingly leaning on short-term Treasuries to cover its rising borrowing needs, rather than long-term bonds. If the U.S. Treasury continues issuing long-term debt at its current pace through fiscal 2027, long-term Treasuries will account for 25% of total debt—their highest share since 2004. However, this strategy amplifies the government’s vulnerability to short-term interest rate swings. If rates stay elevated or climb again, debt servicing costs will become far more unsustainable. The U.S. debt crisis is now fully unfolding.
