The Bankless founder, who has already liquidated all ETH holdings, expresses support for Ethlabs, stating that it "represents the brightest future for Ethereum."

Odaily reported that David Hoffman, founder of Bankless who had previously sold all his ETH holdings, posted on X regarding the newly established Ethlabs: “The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has intentionally left a power vacuum so that new organizational structures can step up to influence the development direction of Ethereum.

I believe the direction led by Ethlabs represents the brightest future for Ethereum. I’m very pleased and, as always, will continue to support them on their journey forward.”

Earlier, David Hoffman publicly stated in late May that he had sold all his ETH. Last night, several former Ethereum Foundation researchers announced the establishment of the non-profit organization Ethlabs, aiming to facilitate Ethereum's next phase of growth. Bitmine, SharpLink and Joe Lubin have all voiced their support.

Title: Title: Report: Consumer-grade LPDDR5X Prices Surge 89% in Q2, AI Memory Squeeze Effect Spreads to Mobile and PC Markets Content:

BlockBeats News, June 23rd. Market research firm SigmaIntell stated on the 22nd that due to a supply-demand imbalance in memory, consumer storage product prices have risen across the board in the second quarter of this year. In particular, the prices of low-power DRAM products saw significant increases, with a 75% month-on-month increase for LPDDR4X 4GB and an 89% month-on-month increase for LPDDR5X 12GB.


The background of this price hike is that LPDDR memory has started to be used in the next-generation server GPU platforms. As NVIDIA's Vera Rubin and other AI computing platforms adopt this low-power memory, supply competition has intensified further, and memory manufacturers have expanded the price hikes to include consumer-grade memory used in smartphones and PCs. SigmaIntell stated that some customers have already accepted the price hike, and these changes have been reflected in the market prices.


The supply-side pressure comes from capacity reallocation. SigmaIntell indicated that in the second quarter, storage manufacturers prioritized high-value-added products such as HBM, server DRAM, and enterprise SSDs, leading to a tightening supply of consumer-grade memory. Due to rising costs, some smartphone and PC brands are adjusting their memory orders.


This also implies that the rate of DRAM price increases in the second half of the year may slow down. Compared to mid-to-high-end products, the demand for memory in low-end terminals is expected to cool more significantly.


Currently, semiconductor wafer resources continue to be concentrated on high-bandwidth memory (HBM), resulting in a relative compression of consumer-grade DRAM capacity. While HBM maintains a relatively stable price through annual customer contracts, the supply-demand imbalance remains severe. There is also an industry-wide trend of price increases in general server DRAM, with cloud providers continuing to replenish their DRAM inventory, keeping channel inventories at around two to three weeks' worth.


As a result, the consumer electronics market is under pressure. The expansion of high-value-added memory products, limited additional capacity construction, and low inventory levels have led to a continued shortage of consumer-grade DRAM.


The NAND market is also seeing ongoing price increases. SigmaIntell stated that SSD prices rose by approximately 50% month-on-month in the second quarter of this year. Demand for enterprise NAND products remains strong, and price fluctuations have not weakened purchasing intentions. The expansion of AI clusters and AI agent servers is driving demand for high-performance, high-capacity storage devices.


Price hike pressures have also spread to mobile and PC NAND. UFS prices have seen the highest increase of up to 100% due to the expansion of enterprise SSD demand squeezing the supply. At the same time, the reduced supply of low-capacity eMMC and other low-end NAND has tightened the supply-demand situation for consumer-grade NAND as well.


Overall, the expansion of AI infrastructure is changing the price transmission path of the storage industry. The shortage, which used to mainly focus on HBM and server DRAM, is now being passed down to the mobile, PC, and consumer-grade storage markets through capacity allocation and wafer resource squeeze. For end brands, the increase in memory and flash storage costs may become a key factor in profit margin and product pricing in the second half of the year.

According to Kuai Technology, even ancient DDR2 memory is experiencing soaring prices in the DDR5 era.

As is well known, the strong demand for AI has drawn the attention and capacity of DRAM memory manufacturers towards HBM high-bandwidth memory. Traditional consumer-grade DDR memory has been severely squeezed, DDR5 prices continue to remain high, and both manufacturers and consumers have shifted back to the previous generation DDR4. In order to minimize costs, some brands and ODM manufacturers have already started further lowering memory specifications, replacing DDR4 with DDR3 and DDR3 with DDR2, hoping to secure sufficient DDR memory shipment quotas. However, this has also caused shortages and price increase pressures to cascade downward.Currently, large original manufacturers have long since stopped producing DDR3 and DDR2 memory. Presently, the main suppliers are Taiwanese manufacturers, for example, DDR2 is highly dependent on Winbond and ESMT. Even Winbond is gradually withdrawing from DDR2 production, shifting its capacity to the more profitable DDR3, DDR4, and LPDDR4, which will undoubtedly further intensify the shortage of DDR2.ESMT mainly relies on PSMC for foundry production and plans to focus its existing capacity on DDR2 production to fill the supply gap left by Winbond's exit, thereby maximizing profits. As a result, the contract price of DDR2 memory chips is expected to surge by 55-60% in the second quarter of this year, with a further potential increase of 35-40% in the third quarter.

Analyst: Malaysia's Diesel Subsidy Reform May Have Limited Impact on Inflation

According to Golden Ten Data on June 23, TA Securities analyst Shazma Juliana Abu Bakar stated in a report that Malaysia’s recent diesel subsidy reform is likely to have a minimal direct effect on inflation, as most eligible diesel users will continue to receive subsidized fuel and logistics operators will also be protected. Starting July 1, Malaysia will set diesel prices nationwide according to market rates, and eligible citizens will be able to purchase subsidized diesel at 2.10 ringgit per litre. The analyst expects transport costs and broader price pressures to remain within controllable limits, noting diesel accounts for only 0.2% of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) basket. She added that this reform should help maintain household purchasing power, but the overall impact on consumption could be limited due to the relatively small group of beneficiaries. TA Securities maintains its forecasts for Malaysia’s inflation rate at 2.1%-2.6% and GDP growth at 4.3%-4.7% for 2026.

Progress Made in Middle East Peace Talks as Aluminum Prices Hit Three-Month Low and Supply Shocks Gradually Resolve

(1) Driven by expectations of progress in Middle East peace talks, the market anticipates a gradual recovery of aluminum supply in the region, and aluminum prices have fallen to their lowest level in three months. (2) The United States has granted Iran a 60-day oil sales permit, providing Iran with economic cushioning, while both sides continue negotiations for a permanent peace agreement. (3) Since the beginning of this year, the war in the Middle East once stifled the production and export of local aluminum products, pushing aluminum prices up by a cumulative 11%. (4) However, one of the largest supply shocks in the history of the aluminum market has been successfully resolved by smelters in the Persian Gulf region through inventory replenishment and the risky practice of transporting goods through the Strait of Hormuz.

SPCX shows a MACD bullish divergence on the 10-minute chart—bottoming out or just a rebound?

According to AiCoin market data, the SPCX/USDT perpetual contract stabilized and consolidated after dipping as low as 150 USDT during a 10-minute period. Although the price reached a new short-term low, the MACD did not simultaneously set a new low, forming a classic "bullish divergence structure." In terms of trading volume, massive sell pressure appeared continuously during the earlier decline, but after increased volume near 150, prices did not fall further, indicating that some funds are already accumulating at lower levels. Currently, DIF and DEA show signs of further convergence, with the short-term trend in the process of repairing; however, trading volumes continue to shrink, and no new capital inflows are seen yet, so the market is currently in a bottoming phase rather than a trend reversal. From a technical standpoint, 150 USDT is a key short-term support level; if it is lost, the divergence structure fails. The 156-157 USDT region above serves as a significant resistance zone—only a breakout of this area with strong volume can further confirm bottom formation and open additional room for a rebound. Technical indicators such as MACD divergence, golden cross, and death cross can all be obtained in real time through the AiCoin open data API, enabling features like strategy alerts, automatic coin selection, and signal push notifications, so you can immediately capture market movements: https://www.aicoin.com/zh-Hans/opendata

Serenity: Photonics and CW lasers may become the next key investment themes for AI infrastructure

BlockBeats news, on June 23, "White Hair" Serenity posted on social media:


I believe the photonics theme, combined with the CW laser bottleneck, is absolutely top-tier. It's as if the market has short-term amnesia, forgetting how LITE went from $3 billion to over $65 billion from 2024 till now. Because of NVDA causing the EML bottleneck, it forced an architectural shift.


We are indeed seeing the same scenario now — AMD and other cloud service providers are snapping up the remaining share through long-term contracts for large CW lasers and optical components. Goldman Sachs Research expects the optics TAM to be about 9 to 10 times higher by 2028, reaching $154 billion; while CPO TAM has grown from nearly zero to $91 billion in just two and a half years.


Don't just disappear because of a month of trading volatility. AAOI's market capitalization is about $13 billion, AAOI's market capitalization is about $13 billion, SIVE about $3 billion, and other CW laser players look very valuable strategically. Then, there may be some new small trends in the next 1-2 years, such as microLED or quantum dots — we’ll see the same thing repeat. I think Sumitomo's prediction regarding CW laser share and silicon photonics becoming a mainstream/dominant architecture should be correct. Personally, I am just focused on that bottleneck, as you’ve seen with SOI, SOI, TSEM, SIVE, and other stocks.
