SK Hynix is currently holding an analyst call: No signs of a slowdown in artificial intelligence (AI) investment have been observed, and AI infrastructure spending will remain robust beyond 2027. The company expects long-term agreements will not lead to oversupply; terms of these deals vary, but typically span 5 years. SK Hynix pledged to solidify its leading position in the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) sector via long-term contracts. It projects bit shipment growth in the second half of the year will outpace that of the first half. The product sales mix impacted the second quarter’s average selling price (ASP). The company is on track to commence mass production of HBM4E starting in 2027.

Trade.xyz has issued an announcement regarding the SK Hynix contract pinning incident: At 23:01 UTC on July 27, the SK Hynix token mark price plummeted from $1,127.9 to $917.25, triggering mass liquidations of long positions. The price stemmed from an actual executed trade captured by multiple independent data providers; the external venue is a major South Korean pre-market. The platform’s oracle system operated per established specifications, synchronously tracking prices from external exchanges and functioning "as designed" technically. However, the exchange acknowledged that user dissatisfaction with the resulting liquidations is understandable, stressing that "market integrity is Trade.xyz’s core value". Accordingly, Trade.xyz has decided to cover all liquidation losses caused by this price anomaly on a one-time, discretionary basis. Specific eligibility requirements will be released shortly, with payouts expected to be completed within days, though the platform clarified that this decision "does not constitute a guarantee for similar scenarios in the future". Mechanistically, the platform will accelerate a review of its pricing methodology—including re-evaluating assumptions about reliance on external venues and assigning higher weight to its own order book price discovery (its order book depth and signal strength have already improved significantly relative to external sources)—to better handle tail events.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that his X account was hacked last week. Attackers used social engineering to deceive X customer support, bypassing security measures including two-factor authentication and login alerts, and posted fake content related to meme coins. X’s security team assisted in quickly removing the posts and restoring account access the same day. The platform has since implemented additional security protections for the account to prevent similar incidents. On the early morning of July 24, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev’s X account was reportedly compromised, with an abnormal post published early that announced the launch of Robinhood Chain’s “official” mascot token Vladhood (VLAD), along with the token’s contract address.
