US and South Korean Stock Previews for Monday: Samsung Expected to Open Down ~3%, US Stocks Set for Near-Flat Pre-Market Trading

Wang Xiaogang, chairman of Chinese embodied intelligence startup ACE Robotics (Daxiao Robotics), told Reuters in an interview: "We expect that by the end of next year, driven by world models and environmental data capture, embodied intelligence will usher in its ChatGPT moment." ACE Robotics, backed by Ant Group and SenseTime, raised over $100 million in the first half of 2026 and plans to launch an IPO "as soon as regulatory approval is obtained." Wang noted that current robots still struggle to reliably perform a wide range of tasks in unfamiliar environments, with the core constraint not being algorithms but a severe shortage of training data. "The entire industry has accumulated only around 100,000 hours of data over the past few years, which is far insufficient to train embodied foundation models." ACE Robotics plans to collect tens of millions of hours of real-world environmental data within two years and deploy its technology to 1,000 stores over the next year. At the industry level, Boston Dynamics released the mass-produced version of its Atlas robot in January, claiming AI has brought it closer to commercial deployment; Alibaba launched the Qwen-Robot Suite robot model kit in June, while researchers are also testing data collection schemes such as the HumanoidExo exoskeleton. The competition in embodied intelligence is shifting from hardware prototypes to a dual race in data scale and model capabilities.

According to HTX market data, US presidential-themed meme coins continue to surge. Specifically: TRUMP rose over 22.4% in 24 hours, breaking through $2.9; MELANIA gained more than 10.53% in the same period, with its market cap exceeding $117 million. BlockBeats reminds users that most meme coins lack practical use cases, are highly volatile, and investors should exercise caution.

A community user asked CZ about his views on the memestock craze, pointing out that in this model, meme coins are paired with tokenized stocks, which brings inherent utility to meme coins. CZ replied: "This is certainly novel and interesting, but it is necessary to ensure that issuers can actually fulfill their obligations."

According to GMGN monitoring, Solana ecosystem meme token CYBERLEEK briefly surpassed a $25 million market cap, hitting a new all-time high, with a 24-hour price surge of over 14 times and 24-hour trading volume of $36.1 million. The token was launched by a hacker group calling itself Cyberleek, which leaked gameplay clips of *GTA 6* to release the Solana-based meme coin CYBERLEEK. The group claimed it would publish a PC download client for *GTA 6*, allowing everyone to play the $2 billion blockbuster game for free (this client claim has since been debunked). On August 22, Cyberleek publicly burned approximately 270 million developer-reserved tokens, accounting for around 27% of the total supply, calling it "proof that it would not dump and run." However, the group still retains a large number of tokens and continues to profit from transaction fees. BlockBeats reminds users that meme tokens often lack real use cases, experience significant price volatility, and caution is required when investing.

According to GMGN monitoring, Base ecosystem token POD (dphn.ai) recorded a sharp 23.7% rebound today, with its price surging over 45% in the past three days, pushing its market capitalization above $264 million. Yesterday, Coinbase added BASECAT, DRB, POD and GRASS to its asset listing roadmap. BlockBeats reminds users that token prices are highly volatile, so investment requires caution.
