Binance’s Nine Years of Shining Achievements Sailing Forward Through Headwinds and Storms to Write a New Chapter With an Unchanged Initial Intention, Chasing Dreams of the Long Road Together We Sail Far Across the Crypto World
📌 Company Overview SK hynix is the world’s second-largest memory chip manufacturer (after Samsung), with core products being DRAM and NAND flash. The company is a global leader in HBM (high-bandwidth memory) and is the exclusive HBM3E supplier for NVIDIA’s H200/B200 GPUs. • Ticker/Code: 000660.KS (Korea Exchange) • Market Cap: ~150 trillion KRW (about $110 billion) • CEO: Kwak Noh-Jung • Core Products: HBM3E / DRAM / NAND / eSSD
📰 Recent Key News
1️⃣ Mass production of 12-layer HBM3E In 2026 Q1, SK hynix will be the first to mass-produce 12-layer HBM3E. Each chip offers 36GB with bandwidth exceeding 1.2TB/s, and will be supplied exclusively to NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra (B200/B300 series). Each B200 requires 8 HBM3E chips, with orders booked through 2027.
2️⃣ Accelerating HBM4 development Target bandwidth is 1.6TB/s+ . The company is working with TSMC to develop baseline bare dies. It is expected to support NVIDIA Rubin in 2027, with sample deliveries in the second half of 2026.
3️⃣ DRAM prices continue to rise In Q1–Q2, DRAM contract prices increased 8%–12% quarter-over-quarter. The HBM premium is 3–5 times that of ordinary DRAM. Demand driven by AI server requirements is pushing supply beyond capacity.
4️⃣ Surge in China eSSD orders Chinese cloud providers such as ByteDance and Tencent are purchasing large quantities. Q1 shipment volume rose 45% year-over-year.
5️⃣ Qingzhou M15X plant begins production The company is investing about $15 billion in a new wafer fab, starting production in Q1 with a focus on HBM and advanced DRAM. After reaching full capacity, monthly output is expected to increase by 30%.
💰 Capital Flows • Foreign ownership is about 51%, with net inflows of about 3.2 trillion KRW in Q1 (about $2.3 billion) • Global semiconductor ETFs (SOXX/SMH) continue to add shares • Consensus institutional ratings are bullish: Morgan Stanley $235 / Citigroup $250 / Goldman Sachs $257 • Short interest ratio is only 2.1%, at a historical low
✅ Bullish Factors: • The AI compute arms race shows no slowdown (global cloud CAPEX > $300 billion) • Duopoly structure in HBM (SK + Samsung > 90%); Micron’s catch-up is slow • Tight DRAM supply (HBM squeezes ordinary DRAM capacity) • Forward PE at 9–11x vs NVIDIA at 30x+ implies a significant discount
⚠️ Risks: • Samsung’s HBM3E has already passed NVIDIA certification; the exclusive landscape may be broken in the second half of the year • The China–US chip war may restrict HBM exports to China • If AI demand slows again in 2027, DRAM could swing back to oversupply
📈 Overall View: Bullish in the medium to long term • 6-month target price: $206–235 (+12% to +28%) • Catalysts: Q2 earnings report (late July) / NVIDIA Rubin official announcement / HBM4 sample deliveries • Key support: $176 (near the 200-day moving average) • Core logic: AI infrastructure → explosive HBM demand → sustained improvement in profitability → valuation re-rating
⚡ Summary This AI infrastructure wave has one of the most undervalued “shovel sellers.” Forward P/E is only ~10x, and the HBM supply–demand gap should persist at least through 2027. Consider building positions in batches on pullbacks below $184, targeting $235.
Disclaimer: The above is a compilation of publicly available information and does not constitute investment advice. Investing involves risks; exercise caution when entering the market.
1. Market Overview In the past 24 hours, BTC has maintained a high-level fluctuation in the range of 66,000 to 67,000 USD, with limited volatility, overall in a consolidation phase under a bullish trend. The bulls have not yet clearly lost control, but the pressure zone above remains valid.
2. Trend Structure 1) Short to Medium Term Direction: The current price is still operating near the upper middle track of the recent rising channel, the bullish structure is still present, but momentum has slowed down, resembling more of a sideways exchange after a high. 2) Key Ranges: - Upper Pressure: Around 67,300, tested multiple times but has not yet broken out with significant volume; - Lower Support: Around 66,100–66,200, if effectively broken, it may trigger a more obvious pullback.
3. Key Market Signals - Prices are oscillating narrowly at high levels, indicating that funds are currently more inclined to wait and speculate, with increasing divergence at high levels; - Trading volume remains at a moderately high level, with no panic selling or extreme volume accelerating the rise; - The bulls temporarily control the pace but lack strong volume signals for further upward attacks.
4. Strategic Thoughts (Research Perspective Only) 1) Short-term: The current position has a general cost-effectiveness in chasing highs, more suitable to wait for a pullback or a clearer breakout before making directional choices; 2) Medium-term: As long as the key support area is not effectively broken, the bullish structure still holds, and one can continue to observe the stabilization after a pullback; 3) Risk Points: Once it breaks below 66,100–66,200 and moves down with volume, be cautious of the evolution from "high-level oscillation" to a phase of adjustment.
5. Summary Currently, BTC is still in a high-level oscillation range dominated by bulls, who have not clearly exited, but the upward pace has slowed, and the market has entered a phase of digestion and speculation. In the short term, pay attention to controlling the risk of chasing highs; in the medium term, watch whether the support holds firm and if new breakout volume signals appear later.

Some thoughts after a week of intense tinkering with Lobster (Openclaw)
After the Spring Festival, the deployment of Openclaw was completed. What did I do in a week of high intensity? 1: Splurged 100U to buy a simple nest for openclaw on Tencent, 2 cores/2GB memory/50GB hard disk/lightweight cloud server without hard disk 2: To call the API, Deepseek spent 200 (almost burned out), Qianwen charged 100 in anger, and finally got a Minimax199 big cup membership (the experience was good) 3: Connected to Feishu\WeChat (just follow the tutorial), IM lobster freedom (actually not that free, Feishu personal version's limit of 50,000 messages/month is not enough) 4: Lobster integrated and took over a previously written python program task, automatically running and pushing results, casually created a graphical interface FTP, took over my 6000 Hotmail emails and cleaned up over 2000, assisted in launching an online shrimp record application (online memo, lobster will log in to comment when free, similar to a personal Twitter), and of course did a bit of document processing work
$pippin pulled 392 times from the bottom, reference $MYX pulled 402 times, if nothing unexpected happens, PIPPIN should have one last wave, at that time just short the hell out of it, the short-term highest point is 0.888, this trader must be Chinese, and very likely the trader of MYX, do not go long on PIPPIN recently, patiently wait to short at high points.
◢ As mentioned earlier, StandX @StandX_Official saves money to earn points, and besides Lighter, this is also a priority.
The $DUSD stored before has stopped since the 1.3, remember to re-deposit it into the perpetual contract, the previously stored amount has been automatically returned to the wallet, remember to check it.
→ Steps to operate:
1. Open the website https://standx.com/referral?code=JOENS Mint $USDT into $DUSD
2. Click on Perps in the upper left corner, and click on Deposit in the lower left corner.
3. Enter the amount of $DUSD to deposit (currently only deposits are supported, withdrawals are not allowed).
After depositing, you will receive test currency $tDUSD, and earn more points through trading.
4. Remember to convert the cash account to the perp contract account when depositing.
❱❱ Unlike other DEXs, currently, the amount you deposit corresponds directly to the amount of test currency you receive. Even if you play at a loss, it does not affect your principal, it's like joy beans. After the testing phase ends, the staked $DUSD can be withdrawn, and the StandX Alpha testing project will conclude in November.
Now it leans towards deposits, go test for points. The tests won't lose your principal, but more profits mean more points. It seems that real trading will open next month, so seize the opportunity to earn points for free.
As a DEX project founded by former Binance executives, it is still worth participating in. At the same time, temporary deposits don't have to consider too much wear and tear issues or worry about profits, and the experience allocation does not conflict with other DEXs.
