TUT: A Rogue Coin Frenzy Ignited by Leverage—Behind a Two-Day 10x Surge
In recent days, the crypto community’s attention has almost all been locked onto a coin called TUT. In just a couple of days, it surged by more than 10 times, topping out near $0.29, before rapidly dropping alongside large-scale liquidations. This kind of trend—fierce rallies, brutal pullbacks, explosive trading volume, and extremely high discussion across the entire network—is precisely the most typical “zombie/rogue coin” (妖币) characteristic in today’s market. This article provides a complete review of the entire incident by examining the event timeline, price movements, contract data, exchange listings, and on-chain capital flows. It fully traces the driving forces and progression from the launch to the climax and then to the subsequent downturn.
The BOJ’s July Monetary Policy Meeting Sends a Hawkish Signal: Rising Inflation Risks Accelerate Policy Normalization
1. The Bank of Japan’s monetary policy enters a new stage: shifting from exiting easing to controlling inflation risks On August 10, 2026, the Bank of Japan released the (Main Opinions) (Summary of Opinions) from its monetary policy decision meeting held on July 30–31. The document shows that internal discussions at the BOJ about the future direction of monetary policy are changing: the policy focus has gradually shifted from the long-standing issue of “insufficient inflation” faced over the past decades to how to prevent inflation from exceeding the target level. At the July meeting, the BOJ kept the policy interest rate unchanged and maintained the target for the unsecured overnight call rate at about 1.0%, but the contents of the discussions indicate that several members believe that, against the backdrop of wage increases, rising import costs, and changes in global demand, upward inflation risks for the Japanese economy are strengthening. Therefore, monetary policy in the future needs to remain more flexible.
Unitree Technology: Cross-Market Games Between the RMB 61.0 Billion A-Share Valuation and the Fourfold Premium on Hyperliquid
On the night of August 6, Unitree Technology set the issuance price for its Science and Technology Innovation Board offering at RMB 150.80, with its listed market capitalization fixed at RMB 61.0 billion. A few hours later, the $UNITREE contract on Hyperliquid surged to above $80, with the implied valuation rising to $30–36 billion—exactly four times higher. One company, two markets, and in a single night it quotes completely different prices. China’s A-share market provided an “official anchor,” while the crypto market priced in the imagination of the “industry’s first listed stock” ahead of time. This may be the most worth dissecting instance of price discovery in the embodied intelligence sector in 2026. Hardware players that have already achieved profitable scale
In-depth analysis of SanDisk’s FY26 Q4 earnings: it made the most money in history, yet the stock price fell—what exactly is the market worried about?
I. Earnings reports hit a historical high, but why doesn’t the market buy it? On August 6, SanDisk released its FY2026 fourth-quarter earnings report. In terms of operating performance, this is an earnings report that sets historical records: the company’s revenue, profit, and gross margin all reached their highest levels in history. However, because the market had previously set very high expectations for the AI storage demand cycle, the stock price did not rise further after the earnings were announced—instead, it saw a pullback. In the quarter, SanDisk generated revenue of $8.97 billion, below the consensus expectation of $9.6 billion from buyers, but with year-over-year growth reaching 372% and quarter-over-quarter growth reaching 51%. Looking at the revenue mix, this round of growth is not driven purely by an increase in shipments. About one-third comes from shipment growth, while the remaining two-thirds comes from higher NAND prices, reflected in an increase in ASP (average selling price). This indicates that the storage industry is currently undergoing a price-repair cycle following improvements in supply and demand.
Public Chain Watch|Robinhood Chain’s trading volume surges into the top five, ARC mainnet countdown, and a full rundown of the latest moves from stablecoins and mainstream chains
Recently, various public chains in the market have shown clear segmentation and an accelerating phase. Chains that have just launched or are nearing their mainnets attract a large amount of attention and capital within a short time, while established ecosystems strengthen their core positions through infrastructure upgrades and institutional onboarding. Memecoin trading continues to supply short-term traffic to multiple chains, but the market is beginning to use the ability to capture real use cases as a key differentiator. Vertical scenarios—retail entry points, stablecoin payments, and institutional settlement—are becoming the new focal point for competition. Memecoin activity across the web is still mainly concentrated on Solana, while rotation is also taking shape on Base, BSC, and newer chains. New coin launches are frequent and theme switches are fast. This provides early activity and trading volume for new chains, while directly testing each chain’s throughput and fee performance. This kind of traffic offers limited contribution to long-term retention, but it does provide a clear window for observing how new chains perform during cold-start periods.
Coinbase Q2 2026 Solana Validator Node Report: The Infrastructure Battle Behind 41.63 Million SOL—Who Will Control the Next Phase of Solana?
Coinbase’s latest release (Q2 2026 Solana Validator Performance Report) shows that its Solana validator node business achieved higher staking rewards, a lower block skip rate, and stronger infrastructure resilience in the second quarter. As the Solana network continues to evolve toward high-performance blockchain infrastructure, validator nodes are no longer just simple block-production roles—they have become a key infrastructure for determining network stability, transaction experience, and the scale of future on-chain finance. Coinbase said that as of the second quarter of 2026, it operates 23 Solana validator nodes across 7 countries and regions, managing a staked amount of 41.63 million SOL, accounting for 9.72% of the total SOL staked on the Solana network.
AMD Earnings Report Observations: Changes in Pricing Logic in a High-Growth Phase
Based on AMD’s Q2 earnings report, this article observes three changes in the market pricing logic during a period of high growth: first, the role of “beating expectations” in driving the stock price has weakened to some extent; second, the business model is extending from chip sales toward system-level solutions; third, rising capital expenditures reflect the real cost of AI growth. The analysis below elaborates on these three angles. On August 4, 2026, AMD announced its Q2 results. Revenue was $11.54 billion, up 50% year over year, reaching a historical high; data center business was $6.7 billion, doubling year over year; non-GAAP EPS was $1.66, exceeding market expectations; Q3 revenue guidance was approximately $13.0 billion, also above consensus.
SpaceX First Post-IPO Financial Report Explained: The Space Business Empire Behind $7.8 Billion in Revenue
I. First Financial Report Unveiled: Profitability Pressures Behind Rapid Growth SpaceX’s first financial report after going public provides an important window for the capital markets to re-understand this commercial space giant. Over the past decade or more, SpaceX has grown rapidly as a private company, supported by ongoing financing for rocket R&D, satellite deployment, and the expansion of its commercial space business. As a result, the outside world has largely relied on market information and institutional analysis to gauge the company’s revenue scale, profitability, and cash-flow situation. This disclosure, however, allows investors for the first time to observe, from publicly available data, the real progress of SpaceX’s transition from a technology-driven enterprise to a commercial platform-oriented company.

Traditional broker Robinhood enters the game: Uniswap secures the main liquidity—what happened over the past month
Recently, Uniswap has taken another step forward and officially launched a “Launches” tab on its Web App. This feature currently prioritizes serving the Robinhood Chain: it aggregates newly launched tokens from multiple third-party launchpads directly into the Uniswap interface, so users no longer have to jump around to find and trade them. Looking back over the past month, since July 1, when Uniswap became the main public AMM on Robinhood Chain, trading volume across the whole chain, fees, and the issuance of new tokens have all shown a clear surge. UNI’s price has also risen by nearly 60% from the low point around the partnership announcement. The market is now starting to reprice this liquidity network that’s deeply tied to a mainstream brokerage. Next, let’s lay out the full story and the investment implications in chronological order.
DDR6 is here, but the real storage war for AI has only just begun
Behind Changxin’s pursuit, HBM is the next-generation semiconductor’s main battlefield A DDR6 message—why is it causing the global storage industry to reprice itself again? In the past few years, the AI wave has been reshaping the competitive logic of the global semiconductor industry, and storage—which used to occupy a relatively behind-the-scenes position—is gradually becoming a key infrastructure that determines AI computing power. In the traditional computing era, market attention focused more on improvements in CPUs, GPUs, and chip process technology. However, with the rapid growth of large model training, AI servers, and data center demand, data transfer efficiency has become a new computing bottleneck. As a result, HBM (High Bandwidth Memory, high-bandwidth memory) has become the core battleground in the global semiconductor industry.

Google turns in a “nearly perfect” earnings report—so why did the stock price fall?
On the early morning of July 23 Beijing time, Alphabet (Google’s parent company) officially released its 2026 second-quarter earnings report. After the report was released, almost all of the key metrics—whether revenue, profit, earnings per share, or the growth of the Google Cloud business—exceeded market expectations previously set by Wall Street analysts. At first glance, this is undoubtedly an outstanding performance. However, unexpectedly, in after-hours trading following the earnings release, Alphabet’s stock price fell by more than 3% at one point. The capital market did not provide consistent positive feedback to what appeared to be a flawless earnings report.

From an “AI bull market” to “leveraged volatility”: Why the South Korean stock market is crazier than Bitcoin
For a long time, South Korea’s KOSPI, the benchmark composite stock index, was regarded as the “canary in the coal mine” of the global economy. South Korea is highly dependent on exports. Meanwhile, companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Hyundai Motor, and LG Chem are deeply embedded in global supply chains for semiconductors, automobiles, batteries, and consumer electronics. As a result, when global manufacturing orders increase and demand for electronic products rebounds, South Korea’s exports and stock market often improve first. Conversely, when global trade weakens, the South Korean market usually feels the chill earlier as well. But once the investment cycle for artificial intelligence begins, KOSPI’s role is undergoing a fundamental change.
