#财报观察员：业绩喜忧参半，解禁将至！SpaceX后续怎么看？ Everyone, SpaceX's first financial report is out, and the data itself is not bad. Revenue reached $7.814 billion, a 92% year-over-year increase, significantly higher than the market expectation of $6.9 billion. The loss per share was $0.09, better than expected. Operating loss narrowed from $970 million in the same period last year to $143 million. Starlink is indeed holding the fort; revenue growth and loss narrowing both indicate the direction is correct. However, AI-related capital expenditures exceeded expectations, with high-intensity investment continuing, and the space business has yet to achieve stable profitability. Despite this better-than-expected financial report, the stock price turned down after hours. The issue is not with the report itself, but with tomorrow. On August 6, the first batch of restricted shares will be unlocked—911.5 million shares, accounting for 20% of the total unlockable shares, with potential selling pressure exceeding $100 billion, larger than the current public float. No matter how good the financial report looks, it can't withstand this supply shock. Mi Ge's view is simple: SpaceX's long-term direction is sound, Starlink is making money, AI spending is narrowing, and fundamentals are improving. But the short-term stock price movement mainly depends on whether the selling pressure from the unlock can be absorbed. This unlock wave is not retail-level selling; it's institutions and early employees cashing out. Who absorbs it, how much they absorb, and the chip structure after absorption are the key factors determining the short-term direction. In terms of strategy, do not chase the stock despite the better-than-expected report, and do not go long before the unlock is settled. Wait until the selling pressure is fully released in the next couple of days and the absorption is clear. Good companies also need good prices, especially since this company is still incurring huge losses. What do you think—can this unlock wave be absorbed? Share your judgment in the comments. $SNDK $SPCX $SKHYNIX Ethereum EIP-8363 Sparks Controversy: Lowering the Threshold or Weakening Decentralization? The Ethereum community has recently been discussing EIP-8363. The reason this proposal sparked controversy was not because it changed a simple Ethereum parameter, but because it touched on a long-standing issue: Should Ethereum pursue higher participation in the future, or prioritize ensuring network security and decentralization? This is the core dilemma that every major Ethereum upgrade faces. At the heart of the EIP-8363 controversy lies in its adjustment of the validator mechanism. Currently, Ethereum uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism, requiring users to stake ETH to become validators and participate in network consensus. At this stage, becoming an independent validator requires staking 32 ETH. This threshold has been controversial since the transition from Ethereum to the PoS era. Supporters believe: The 32 ETH threshold is too high. Ordinary users find it difficult to participate. A large amount of ETH ultimately ends up in the hands of exchanges and staking service providers. Lowering the threshold allows more individuals to participate in verification, increasing the network's decentralization. But the concerns of opponents are equally obvious. If the validator threshold is lowered, will it lead to a large number of small nodes entering the network? As the number of validators increases, does the cost of network coordination rise? Will a decrease in individual validator's earnings affect their enthusiasm for participation? More importantly: One of Ethereum's biggest current advantages is its security. Any proposal to change the staking structure needs to consider the long-term impact. This has always been a contradiction for Ethereum. It aims to become a global-class financial infrastructure. But the two most important indicators of financial infrastructure: Safety. Stable. At the same time, it hopes more ordinary users will participate in the network. These two goals are not always aligned. Lowering participation barriers is beneficial for decentralization. However, if it affects the quality of verification, it could undermine cybersecurity. From a market perspective, such upgrade controversies also affect ETH value expectations. Currently, Ethereum's price is fluctuating above $1800. More attention from past markets: ETF funds. Layer 2 is growing. RWA development. Stablecoin ecosystem. But as Ethereum enters maturity, investors are paying more attention to underlying governance and economic models. Because these factors determine whether ETH can continue to capture value in the future. For ETH, the biggest challenge right now is not technical capability. Ethereum still boasts the largest developer ecosystem, with a large number of DeFi applications and stablecoin liquidity. The real question is: Can network growth translate into ETH demand? If the ecosystem thrives but ETH's value capture is insufficient, the market will reassess its investment logic. This is similar to the development of other public chains. For example, SOL attracts users through high performance. But long-term value requires proving that on-chain activity can form a sustainable economic closed loop. Ethereum needs to prove: It balances decentralization, security, and business needs. The controversy surrounding EIP-8363 is essentially not a simple technical issue. Behind it lies Ethereum's future path choice: Is it really about becoming a more open network that allows more people to participate? Or will it maintain higher security standards and become institutional-grade financial infrastructure? At present, both directions have supporters. But whichever path is chosen, Ethereum must answer one question: How to scale up without sacrificing the core network value. Because for blockchain, speed can be optimized. Costs can be reduced. But once trust declines, the cost of recovery becomes very high. $ETH #以太坊草案EIP-8363 sparked controversy Digging into Luoyang, five meters deep, yesterday's Bitcoin positions were like bronze swords in the Western Zhou burial pit, rusty—Italy's largest banking group, Intesa Sanpaolo, with a Q2 position report, carved a new "oracle" into crypto history: IBIT spot ETF holdings collapsed from 646,809 shares to 40,723 shares, a drop of 93.7%. This is not a restocking; it is a comprehensive backfilling of the civilized site. Tomb robbers see the strata clearly. BTC holdings were crushed to dust, while BlackRock's ETH spot ETF shares surged from 116,200 shares to 349,600 shares—nearly tripled in holdings. Like a rare archaeologist staring at the same historical text, he suddenly flipped the investigation from the late Shang dynasty to the cultural layer of Erlitou. This is not a simple bullish or bearish game; it is funds writing "epitaphs" for two dynasties with different outcomes. I reviewed the details of the rubbings in hand: IBIT's call option position was cut from 2.5 million shares to 18,000 shares, almost zero, while the put option exposure was counter-trend increased to 500,000 shares. This method is all too familiar—it's like an experienced antique dealer tearing off an authentication certificate for Ming dynasty blue-and-white porcelain, only to turn around and label a batch of high-quality Jun kiln replicas as 'Northern Song official kilns.' It's not that there's no stock in the pit, but that the goods have been replaced. Trending money is being moved out of BTC's grave, pouring dry ice into ETH's underground palace to prevent oxidation. This series of structural reversals confirms a conclusion I have repeatedly uncovered: the alternation of bull and bear markets follows historical rhythms, all rhyming with the same rhyme. In every cycle, a batch of species must undergo the necessary burial "from sovereign idols to tool currency." Today's IBIT positions are the inscription of the owner of that old cycle, whose name has been chiseled out with a chisel; The threefold expansion of ETH holdings is like the first brick built by a new dynasty on the ruins—using staking yields as the foundation and ETF inflows as the city tower. Digging deeper, this money is not stagnant; it is flowing along arteries into other modern relics. The market's interpretation of this Big Money shift almost inevitably spills over to every emerging species that resonates with the crypto ecosystem, such as the US stock stockholder $XIREN. It's like discovering the undisturbed Tomb of Fu Hao next to the Yin Ruins, where the nearby craftsmen's workshop is naturally revalued—when institutional capital flows from the dormant BTC square to the active ETH altar, those living beings walking the tightrope between the roar of mining machines and AI computing power are the contemporary "Oracle Bone Diviners," recording every decision on bone fragments with code. Some people ask, are institutions crazy? No, they are simply the most faithful scribes in history. Fifteen years ago, Wall Street stamped AAA on subprime products; five years ago, they gilded NFT auction houses with gold; today, they have moved massive amounts of chips onto the altar of ETH—every generation uses burnt turtle shells to divine the future, but no one has ever truly read the cracks. Strata tell me that the collapse of a system rarely happens instantly; its "tomb collapses" often happens at the moment everyone thought it was still as solid as a rock. When Italy's largest bank cut its Bitcoin ETF position by 90% and nearly tripled its ETH holdings, a crack had already appeared on Wall Street, stretching from bottom to top. I have no shovel, only a magnifying glass—those option numbers written in the corners of documents are the true bone flutes of this era, playing the elegy of one dynasty or the festival of another civilization. #IntesaShiftsToETH US-Iran negotiations have progressed, oil prices have fallen below $80, and the market has begun to reprice risk assets The international market has recently undergone an important change: As positive signals from the US-Iran negotiations have been released, concerns about further escalation in the Middle East have eased, and international oil prices have noticeably fallen, falling below the $80 mark. Changes in crude oil prices may seem to affect the energy market, but behind the scenes, they actually affect global inflation expectations, the movement of the US dollar, and risk asset sentiment. For the crypto market, oil price changes are also worth watching. For some time now, energy prices have been a key focus of the market. If geopolitical conflicts continue to escalate, the market is usually worried: Crude oil supply was affected. Energy prices are rising. Inflationary pressures are rebounding. The pace of Fed rate cuts has been affected. This leads to capital flowing back into safe-haven assets, putting pressure on risk assets. Now, with US-Iran negotiations progressing, the market has begun to ease concerns about supply risks. The decline in oil prices indicates that the market believes inflationary pressures on the energy side may ease in the future. Oil prices falling below $80 sends a positive signal for the global economy. Lower energy costs help companies reduce production pressure. Reduced consumer energy spending may also boost other consumption demands. More importantly, if energy prices continue to fall, it could leave more room for future policy adjustments by the Federal Reserve. The core market focus comes from: "Will inflation heat up again?" Gradually shifting to: "When will the rate cut window open?" These macroeconomic changes have a significant impact on the crypto market. Because the past few rounds of crypto rallies have all relied on improved liquidity conditions. When the market expects: Inflation is declining. Interest rates are falling. Increased dollar liquidity. Funds often seek out high-yield assets again. Bitcoin remains the core asset of market focus for now. Currently, BTC prices are fluctuating in the mid-to-late $60,000 range. In the short term, the market is waiting for new capital catalysts. If the macro environment continues to improve and risk appetite increases, BTC may once again attract capital attention. But if the Fed continues to maintain high interest rates, the market will still need to absorb the pressure. Ethereum is currently oscillating above the $1800 range. The drop in oil prices is a relatively positive factor for risk assets like ETH. Because RWA, stablecoins, and DeFi applications in the Ethereum ecosystem all require a more active capital environment. However, in the short term, the market remains watching: On-chain demand. Capital inflow. Ecological income. Can these factors create new upward momentum? As a highly elastic asset, SOL is more sensitive to changes in market sentiment. Over the past year, Solana has gained significant attention through its meme ecosystem and on-chain activity. If global risk appetite improves and funds seek new high-volatility opportunities, SOL could become the direction for capital rotation. But if the market returns to safe-haven mode, highly volatile assets will be more affected. The advancement of US-Iran negotiations and the drop in oil prices essentially reflect a decrease in market risk premiums. In the past, investors were concerned about: War. Energy. Inflation. High interest rates. Now the market is starting to re-trade: Growth. Liquidity. Risk appetite. For the crypto market, what truly matters is not the single-day fluctuations in oil prices, but whether they change the global capital environment. If energy prices remain stable and Fed policy pressures ease, risk assets may find new opportunities. But ultimately, the market will return to one core question: Is there any ongoing funding coming in? Because whether it's stocks, commodities, or crypto assets, long-term gains require real liquidity support. $BTC Democratic Senator Warren and Blumenthal jointly sent a letter to the SEC, requesting an investigation into whether Trump-related meme coins have crossed securities law red lines. The letter cited data showing that since its launch in January 2025, nearly 1 million wallets have accumulated unrealized losses of about $3.81 billion, and questioned possible fraudulent arrangements. More importantly, the timing — the White House is evaluating an ethical compromise on Trump's conflicting interests in crypto business, which is seen as a key variable for whether the Clarity Act market structure bill can continue to advance. Once the regulatory narrative rises, sentiment in the Meme sector is first suppressed, and risk appetite will temporarily contract. My view: This is not just the story of a single coin, but a signal that "political traffic coins" are entering the regulatory microscope. Don't chase the narrative at high prices in the short term; first look at regulatory standards and legislative maneuvering; The market still depends on whether BTC can hold above the axis. BTC current price 64,345.7 (+0.871%), 24H high 64,512.9 / low 63,428.8; ETH 1,871.7 (+0.438%). Funding rate: BTC 0.001207%, ETH 0.002993%. Pivot BTC R1: 64628.87 S1: 63406.17 | ETH R1:1884.58 S1:1850.36 $BTC #BTC $ETH #ETH #财报观察员: Mixed results, lifting restrictions imminent! What do you think about SpaceX's future? After reading $SPCX's debut financial report, my biggest impression is that the company's revenue structure is completely different from the rocket company everyone remembers. Total revenue reached $7.814 billion, up 92% year-on-year, but breaking it down, Starlink contributed $4.291 billion, making up the majority. Its AI business contributed $2.561 billion, with the fastest year-on-year growth rate of 247%. The core business, rocket launches, which many people think is the main business, only contributed $9.62 million, or 12%, the smallest of the three lines. In other words, buying SpaceX now is actually a satellite internet and AI computing company disguised as aerospace. The market's response was also very honest: all three business segments exceeded expectations in the financial report, net losses narrowed from $1 billion in the same period last year to $541 million, and after-hours the stock price still fell more than 8% to around 5%. There is only one reason: capital expenditure is $18.37 billion, more than sixfold year-on-year, with $15.83 billion invested in AI, and annualized capital expenditure of $73.5 billion, far exceeding analysts' expectations of $48.7 billion. After the recent earnings season for tech giants, the market's tolerance for AI capital spending has clearly decreased, and $SPCX has run into the same logic this time. My view is that with $93.5 billion in cash reserves plus the CFO's year-end target of 100 billion yuan annualized recurring revenue, the company still has confidence. But how the stock price moves in the short term depends on whether the market is willing to continue this money-burning strategy to build scale, not whether the quarterly numbers themselves are impressive enough. $SPCX #财报观察员: Mixed results, lifting restrictions imminent! What do you think about SpaceX's future? #SpaceX首份财报超预期, unlocking remains a key variable On the eve of SanDisk's earnings report, HBF and storage shortages are heating up, and the competition for AI infrastructure has entered a new phase Recently, market attention has shifted to the storage industry. SanDisk is about to release its earnings report, and discussions about HBF (High Bandwidth Flash) and tight storage supply are heating up. In the past, the market focused more on AI, focusing more on GPUs and computing chips. But as AI models continue to scale, a new problem begins to emerge: With improved computing power, can data storage and transmission keep up? This has restored the storage industry as a market focus. The biggest change in the AI era is the rapid growth in data volume. In the past, traditional computing mainly relied on CPUs and ordinary storage. But now, training large AI models requires processing massive amounts of data. From the training dataset. to the model parameters. Then to data calls during inference. All of these places higher demands on storage performance. This is also why the market has begun to pay attention to new storage technologies like HBF. Future AI competition will not be limited to chip competition. but also a competition within the entire infrastructure system. As one of the world's major storage manufacturers, SanDisk's market attention to its financial reports has increased. Investors want not just revenue growth, but whether the storage industry cycle has truly reversed. In recent years, the storage industry has experienced significant fluctuations. Demand declined. Inventory adjustment. Prices are under pressure. This has led the entire industry into a slump. However, as demand for AI servers grows, demand for high-performance storage is beginning to recover. The market is beginning to reassess the value of storage companies. However, the storage industry also faces a practical issue: AI demand is strong, but supply chain expansion takes time. Building advanced storage capacity is not something that can be completed in the short term. Wafer fabs. Equipment investment. Technological upgrades. Both require substantial capital investment. If AI infrastructure construction continues to accelerate, storage supply could become a new bottleneck. This is also a key reason for the recent market discussion of HBF. This logic actually shares some similarities with the crypto market. In recent years, the crypto market has also shifted from conceptual hype to infrastructure competition. Bitcoin prices are currently fluctuating in the mid-to-high $60,000 range. As institutional funds flow in, market attention has shifted from simply rising prices to: Whether funds continue to flow in. Whether the institutional configuration has increased. Whether long-term demand is valid. Ethereum is currently operating above the $1800 level. ETH's development logic is increasingly approaching infrastructure competition. Stablecoins. RWA。 DeFi。 Layer2。 Ultimately, these directions compete not just on technical concepts, but on real usage needs. If the scale of on-chain finance continues to expand, Ethereum's value as infrastructure will be further realized. SOL remains a high-performance public chain with high market attention. Over the past year, Solana has attracted a large number of users through low fees, high throughput, and an active ecosystem. But just like the AI storage industry, the market's ultimate focus is: Whether short-term heat can be converted into long-term demand. On the eve of SanDisk's earnings report, the market discussed HBF and storage shortages, essentially reflecting a trend: AI is moving from model competition to infrastructure competition. In the past, the market competed over who had the stronger models. Future competition may be: Who has more computing power. Who has more efficient data processing capabilities. Who can provide more stable infrastructure. This is very similar to the logic behind the development of the crypto market. Truly valuable long-term projects ultimately need to answer one question: Is there real demand supporting growth? The market does not always reward concepts. What remains are infrastructure capable of meeting the next wave of industrial demand. $ETH SpaceX's first earnings report beats expectations; unlocking remains a key variable. How will the market reprice? SpaceX has recently become the focus of market attention. The first financial report exceeded market expectations, once again validating the company's commercialization capabilities. However, at the same time, the supply pressure brought by the share lock-up has become a variable investors cannot ignore. For SpaceX, the market's focus is no longer on "whether there is growth," but on: Can rapid growth support current valuations? And after a large number of shares enter circulation, can the market still maintain its original expectations? From a business perspective, SpaceX's growth logic remains very clear. In the past, the market's vision of SpaceX mainly came from the rocket business. But what truly drives up valuations now is Starlink. Traditional space companies rely more on government orders, while SpaceX reduces launch costs through reusable rockets and leverages Starlink to build sustainable commercial revenue. These two businesses have formed different growth trajectories: The rocket business raises industry barriers. Starlink provides long-term cash flow. This is also why the market is willing to value SpaceX far above traditional aerospace companies. The earnings report exceeded expectations, indicating that the market's previous assessment of SpaceX's commercialization capability may have been rather conservative. Especially the development of Starlink's business has shown investors that commercial aerospace is not solely dependent on government funding. Satellite internet is becoming the new infrastructure. In the future, whether for remote area network coverage or enterprise communication needs, Starlink has further room for expansion. But the problem is also real: In high-growth industries, valuations always require follow-up performance verification. Why has unlocking become a key variable? Because SpaceX had long been in the private market. The number of shares in circulation is limited. A large number of investors want to participate, but trading opportunities are limited. In such cases, scarcity pushes up valuations. But as more shares enter the market, the supply-demand relationship may change. The market will reanswer several questions: Is the current valuation reasonable? Are early investors willing to continue holding? Can the new sell be absorbed by capital? This is actually very similar to the crypto market. Many crypto projects go through similar stages in their early stages: During the financing phase, the market gave it a high valuation. Capital chased after launch. This will then enter the token unlock cycle. The real test often doesn't happen at the time of project launch, but after a large amount of capital is released. If the project has real demand, the new supply can be absorbed by the market. If demand is insufficient, unlocking may become a price pressure. Currently, the crypto market is also in a phase of capital reselection. Bitcoin is currently trading in the mid-to-high $60,000 range, and the market is waiting for new capital directions. Spot ETFs have changed the structure of the BTC market, with institutional funds becoming a key support. However, in the short term, BTC is still affected by global liquidity, Federal Reserve policies, and risk appetite. The market is now focused not only on whether Bitcoin can rise, but also on whether new capital is willing to continue flowing in. Ethereum is currently fluctuating above the $1800 range. The problems ETH faces are somewhat similar to those faced by SpaceX: The market recognizes long-term value but needs to see value realized. Stablecoins. RWA。 DeFi。 Layer2。 Whether these directions can generate sustained demand will determine Ethereum's future competitiveness. SOL is currently trading above the $70 range. Over the past year, Solana has attracted a large amount of capital thanks to its on-chain activity and Meme ecosystem. But the biggest challenge for high-growth assets is how to prove that short-term hype can be converted into long-term value. This is similar to the problem SpaceX faces: Growth stories matter. But ultimately, commercial results are still needed. SpaceX's first earnings report exceeded expectations, indicating that the company's growth logic has been temporarily recognized by the market. But lifting the ban will become the real stress test in the next phase. The market will gradually shift from "believing in the future" to "verifying the future." Whether it's SpaceX or popular assets in the crypto market, what ultimately determines long-term value is not how high the valuation is. It's about whether we can continuously create real demand. The future market will not only reward the fastest-growing companies. Instead, it rewards companies that can turn growth into cash flow. #SpaceX首份财报超预期, unlocking remains a key variable $BTC #闪迪财报前夕, HBF and storage shortages have sparked heated discussion Regarding SanDisk's earnings report tonight, I think the risk of "all the good news has been exhausted" outweighs the surprises. While everyone is hyping up the HBF and storage shortage concepts, I'm more worried that expectations are too high. Look at the news of DRAM and HBM supply tightness flying everywhere, with SK Hynix's CEO saying 2027 is the most tight. This industry-wide celebration often means the stock price has already overloaded the good news for the future. I've experienced moments like this too many times—pre-earnings posts hyping things up, only to end up falling short of expectations and causing the stock price to plunge. SanDisk is pushing HBF standardization this time, aiming to create a new solution that sits between HBM and SSD, which sounds quite attractive. But the distance between the launch of new technology and its actual profit contribution is worlds apart. The market now focuses on whether current performance can support such high valuations, not just empty promises. Bulls believe that long-term contracts for AI storage can support revaluation, which is logical but too idealistic. The "good news realization" that the bears feared is the more realistic scenario. In particular, TrendForce's prediction that NAND supply constraints will last until 2027 actually makes me more alert. If supply is tight for the next two years, does that mean prices have already gone up too much? After tonight's close, if the results only "meet expectations" and do not significantly exceed them, I bet there will be a wave of sell-offs. After all, at high levels, capital is the most sensitive—any slight movement can lead to early withdrawal. So my advice is: just wait and watch for a short position, and don't gamble on the price swings at the moment of the earnings report—the risk-reward ratio isn't worthwhile.Brent crude oil has fallen below $80. WTI crude oil futures settlement price fell 5.69% to $75.77 per barrel; Brent crude futures settlement price fell 5.26% to $79.36 per barrel. WTI once fell below $75 intraday, hitting a new low since January this year. $80—the level everyone just a month ago was saying 'breaking $100 is only a matter of time'—has just been broken like that. And then? All three major U.S. stock indexes rose, with the Nasdaq up 2.59%, and both the Dow Jones and S&P 500 hitting record highs. Bitcoin is holding steady above $64,000. Oil prices fell, and risk assets rose. This chain is strung together. Let me break this conduction chain apart and crush it for you to see: Strait of Hormuz reopened→ oil supply recovered → oil prices plunged → inflationary pressures eased → Fed rate hike expectations cooled → risk asset valuations recovered It's that simple. But this simple chain determines whether your account is red or green. U.S. Treasury Secretary Besent said the U.S. and Iran "may reach an agreement today or tomorrow" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. OPEC+ agreed to increase production for the sixth consecutive month in September. The dual supply side benefits have pushed this "war premium" to rock bottom. The plunge in oil prices eased inflation concerns and dampened market expectations that the Fed would raise rates more than once this year. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell for two consecutive days. Funds are flowing from safe-haven assets to risk assets— SK Hynix rose 8%, Micron rose 7.6%, SanDisk gained 10.8%, and Nvidia gained over 2%. Do you understand? Oil prices are the "master switch" for this round of rebound. But don't get too happy too soon. What is driving this round of oil price declines? It is the "expectation," not the "fact." The agreement hasn't been signed yet. Iran denies direct negotiations with the United States, insisting that the only ongoing consultations are with Oman regarding passage arrangements for the strait. Rubio said the negotiations "have made progress, but are not yet complete." Qatar said the draft agreement is circulating but has not yet formed a final text. Becent said, "It can be achieved today"—but Iran said, "I haven't talked to you." Who do you believe? If the agreement is only a "temporary 60-day mechanism" rather than a permanent solution, and the agreement fails in the next two days, there is room for a rebound in oil prices after the sharp drop. then this round of US stock rebound and BTC rally is just a false breakout. For the crypto world, the real winner lies here: If oil prices remain below $80, Q3 CPI data will drop significantly, lowering the probability of the Fed raising rates in 2026—the biggest macro positive. But if oil prices are just a flash in the pan, rate hike expectations will resurface, and risk assets will be pinned down and ground up once again. Don't just look at BTC's candlesticks—keep a close eye on Hormuz's news feed. In the coming weeks, oil prices will be the true "macro commander" in the crypto world. The agreement was signed, oil prices kept falling, and BTC kept rising. The protocol went bankrupt, oil prices rebounded violently, and BTC was hit hard. It's that simple. It's just that cruel. $BTC $BZ $CL #美伊谈判推进, oil prices fell below $80 I'm Ci Ge, short at 1331.77, now at 1468, with a floating loss of 136 points. The core reason for this loss is that market sentiment and fundamentals have shown short-term resonance, but the bearish structure has not yet been completely broken. Why did it rise to 1468? First, the HBF industry standard was released. SanDisk and SK Hynix jointly released the world's first high-bandwidth flash memory standard, marking a new track in AI storage and seen by Wall Street as opening up a new addressable market. Second, the Strait of Hormuz agreement is anticipated. The U.S. side stated that an agreement is about to be reached, with oil prices plunging 6% in a single day, and both the Dow Jones and S&P 500 hitting record highs. Macro risk appetite rebounded across the board, with the storage sector surging collectively. SanDisk rose 10.84% in a single day, closing at $1,427.62. Third, the earnings expectations are extremely high. After the market closed on August 5, the Q4 financial report was released, with market expectations of approximately $8.39 billion in revenue and $34.80 in EPS. SanDisk's financial reports over the past four quarters have all exceeded expectations, prompting the market to price in ahead of the earnings. Fourth, institutions are collectively bullish. RBC Capital has given it an outperformers rating with a target price of $200; Stifel gives a Buy rating with a target price of $240. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose for the fourth consecutive trading day. How to view the 1468 level: 1468 has already broken through the short-term resistance level at 1430, with the resistance zone between 1510 and 1540 being stronger. The 50-day moving average is at $1707. The current rebound is a V-shaped bottom pattern, but only about 30% of the correction has been completed since the 998 low #AMD财报超预期 has growth been overdrawn? AMD's earnings report beats expectations, so why is the market not buying in? AMD's financial report this time is actually not bad. Q2 revenue reached $11.536 billion, up 50% year-on-year, while data center business revenue reached $6.7 billion, up 107% year-on-year. For most companies, these figures are already very impressive achievements. But the problem is that the market is no longer looking at "how much has grown," but "whether it can continue to exceed expectations in the future." This is also why AMD's stock price actually fell after the earnings report was released. Over the past two years, the AI wave has brought high expectations to semiconductor companies. Investors are willing to give higher valuations to growth stocks, but the requirements have also risen. Previously, when revenue grew by 30%, the market might have thought it was good. If the current situation does not consistently exceed expectations, funds may instead choose to take profits. I think the most critical thing for AMD going forward isn't the single-quarter numbers, but several long-term signals. First, whether the AI business can continue to expand, especially in data centers and AI accelerator cards, can truly capture more market share from Nvidia. Second, whether profit margins can continue to improve. Revenue growth is important, but ultimately it depends on earning money. Third, guidance for the coming quarters: if the company can continuously raise market expectations, the stock price will have further upward momentum. My view: AMD's recent decline is more like a market repricing of high expectations, rather than a fundamental problem. The long-term logic of the AI industry remains, but investors are becoming more rational and won't overvalue just because of the "AI concept." For the AI sector, the future competition may no longer be about who tells the best story, but who can truly turn AI demand into revenue and profit. The hardest part of growth stocks is not only to grow, but to consistently exceed the market's expectations.$BTC $ETH $SNDK 标普500首次突破7700点创历史新高单看指数牛市稳稳的但扒开结构看涨幅集中在少数几只股票上苹果微软谷歌三家就贡献了指数涨幅的一大半更值得关注的是标普站上7700的同时罗素2000小盘股指数距离历史高点还有不小距离说明资金在往大票集中中小票没有被带起来美股这波创新高背后的逻辑跟加密市场很像增量资金有限的情况下资金只敢抱团最确定的那几个标的其他票只能看着涨这对加密市场的影响短期偏中性美股创新高会吸引全球资金继续流向美国加密市场作为风险资产的一部分情绪上会受益但资金不会自动从美股流向币圈除非美联储释放更明确的宽松信号指数新高不等于普涨结构分化才是真相别被表面数字带偏了节奏#财报观察员：业绩喜忧参半，解禁将至！SpaceX后续怎么看？ #SpaceX首份财报超预期，解禁仍是关键变量 #AMD财报超预期，增长已被透支？ After researching $CASHCAT, I found its greatest value is also its biggest risk: many people mistakenly interpret "Robinhood's former name and mascot" as "Robinhood's official token." As of August 5, CASHCAT is about $0.088, up over 42% in 24 hours, with a market cap of about $91 million and a trading volume of about $28 million; still down nearly 48% from the high near $0.17. It has no product, revenue, or governance use; its price is mainly driven by Robinhood Chain's hype, CEO interactions, and community sentiment. The token distribution is also not easy. Arkham data shows the top 1000 addresses control 89.1% of the supply; this may include liquidity pools and exchange addresses, but it still indicates that large sell-offs can easily impact the price. I will watch whether the trading volume can sustain, whether on-chain liquidity deepens, and whether Robinhood provides a clearer official positioning. Rallies driven solely by "mascot association" can reverse very quickly when sentiment shifts. Do you think CASHCAT can become a long-term cultural asset of Robinhood Chain, or just the next token in the rotation of attention? #Robinhood #cashcat #trading Sigh, $SNDK pulled up to 1415 again. To be honest, the storage sector rose 10% across the board, leading SanDisk, but I actually felt a bit uneasy. Those who have fallen into traps tell you that this kind of push-up before the financial report is often to pre-price in "positive expectations." If tonight's Q4 earnings only meet expectations, it could easily trigger sell-offs—because "buying expectations and selling facts." After hours, it had already dropped 2%, indicating funds were avoiding. Two key points to consider: whether AI storage demand can sustain its surging momentum and whether gross margin can hold above 80%. The options market is expected to fluctuate ± 17-21%, and tonight will not be small. My thought: don't wait for financial reports, don't bet on direction. After landing, heel on the right side is more secure. If you don't understand, just wait; don't force it. Surviving is ten thousand times more important than making money fast. Are you waiting for the earnings report tonight? ⚠️ Personal views and do not constitute investment advice.$CORE Recent technology application R&D personnel and R&D investment in public blockchains A comprehensive overview of CORE public chain (Core DAO) R&D personnel and R&D investment I. R&D Personnel Structure (Recent Public Data) 1) Core protocol R&D team (Core's official management, maintaining Satoshi Plus consensus and underlying chain code) - Initial mainnet launch in 2023: 45~50 full-time global core contributors (engineers, product, security, governance), personnel from Coinbase, BNB Chain, Blockchain.com, etc.; - 2024–2026 Stable Phase: Core protocol team size will remain in the 50~70 member range, with no major expansion; Key reminder: This is the real technical development team at the underlying level of public blockchains. 2) Third-party ecosystem developers (data most widely promoted by the media is easily misleading) Third-party developers ≠ official Core R&D personnel, representing external project teams: 1. Throughout 2024: 2,000+ new developers will join the ecosystem; On-chain deployment of 31,500+ smart contracts; 2. Official disclosure in October 2025: 357+ full-time active ecosystem developers (total of external DApp teams, not Core internal staff); 3. GitHub open-source repository: Organized by coredao-org, 29 code repositories with about 40~60 long-term stable contributors. Key pitfalls to avoid Many promotions for "thousands of developers" count hackathon participants, students, and part-time community developers; There are only a few dozen engineers who truly maintain the underlying public chain protocol, which is far smaller than the Ethereum Foundation and BNB Chain R&D teams. 2. R&D-related funding investment (divided into: underlying agreement R&D expenditure + ecosystem developer funding funds) Most funds are issued in the form of CORE tokens, with US dollar valuations fluctuating sharply with token prices, and there is no consistently stable cash budget. 1. Underlying protocol development (Core Foundation payroll, underlying iteration, security audit) The company has never disclosed an annual fixed R&D cash budget. Reasonable industry estimates: Core team manpower + security auditing, testnet, node operations, roughly $8 million~$15 million per year (token payments, can be cut during bear markets). Comparison reference: Leading public chains generally invest over $30 million annually in underlying R&D. 2. Ecosystem support funds for external developers (summary of publicly accessible plans) 1. Early 2024: Regional Ecological Fund totaling $15 million ($5 million for Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia for special projects); 2. India Innovation Fund: $5 million; 3. Global Hackathon Core Connect Buildathon: Total prize of $1.2 million; 4. Core Commit incubation program and developer grant continuous small funding, releasing millions of dollars worth of tokens annually; Nature: Supports external DApp teams, not an underlying public chain technology R&D investment. 3. Key Technological R&D Achievements in Recent Years (Outputs Corresponding to Investment) 1. Core Self-Development: Satoshi Plus Hybrid Consensus (the project's biggest technical selling point) Integrating BTC PoW hash power + DPoS to enable BTC miners to mine simultaneously; Continuously iterate validator slash mechanisms and block synchronization logic; 2. Core BTC native encapsulated assets and BTC on-chain light client enable verification of Bitcoin's native assets on the Core chain; 3. Multiple hard fork upgrades: Hermes upgrades optimize transaction finality, introduce ZK precompilation, and optimize dual staking modules; 4. Full EVM compatibility, reducing migration costs for Ethereum developers; 5. Ongoing third-party security audits (such as Halborn) to fix consensus layer and contract vulnerabilities. 4. Objective Shortcomings in R&D (Directly Affecting Long-Term Outlook) 1. The underlying R&D team is relatively small in scale Only a few dozen people maintain a single L1 public chain, and with fierce technical competition in the BTCFi track (Stacks, Merlin, BEVM, Babylon iterating simultaneously), the speed of technical iteration is limited; 2. Investment funds lack rigid guarantees Funds come from the foundation's treasury tokens. During bear market phases, R&D budgets are easily squeezed, and there is no ongoing cash flow to support R&D; Compared to A-share listed companies (such as Sanan Optoelectronics, which have stable annual cash R&D expenditures), the model is completely different; 3. R&D focus leans toward ecosystem marketing incentives A large amount of funding is allocated to hackathons and regional developer activities; The pace of breakthrough technology innovation in underlying protocols is slow, mostly based on improvements in existing technology combinations, lacking disruptive exclusive patent barriers; 4. The consensus mechanism has long been controversial about decentralization and continues to face skepticism from the Bitcoin community. 5. Horizontal Comparison Reference (Helping You and A-Share Technology Companies Perceive the Scale of Scale) - Estimated annual R&D investment for CORE's underlying protocol: approximately $08~15 million 6. Summary and assessment 1. R&D team size: There are only 50–70 core engineers at the core level, which is a mid-sized public chain configuration and not considered a top-tier team; Hundreds of developers are part of the external ecosystem and cannot be confused; 2. R&D Funding: No fixed cash budget, token payments; abundant funds in bull markets, easy contraction in bear markets; Ecosystem support funds far exceed the investment in in-house protocol development at the underlying level; 3. Technical Capability: Successfully implemented Satoshi Plus consensus, seizing the early BTCFi window, but its ability to sustain high-intensity innovation remains questionable; There are many competitors in the track, and there is no overwhelming technological advantage; #标普500首次站上7700点, setting a new all-time high Guys, US stocks have hit new highs again. The S&P 500 closed up 1.79% last night, reaching 7,736 points, breaking above 7,700 for the first time in history. The Dow also hit a new high, with the Nasdaq rising 1.71%. It took only 42 days from breaking through 7600 to reaching 7700. The driving force is clear: the earnings season is generally good, AI and chip stocks rebounded, oil prices fell from highs, and all three directions are pushing toward one point simultaneously. The total market capitalization of S&P component stocks is approaching $70 trillion, and this scale is still climbing, indicating that global liquidity is not an issue. But there are two details worth pondering even more than the new highs themselves. First, US stocks are rising, and Bitcoin is still grinding around 64,000. The correlation between the S&P 500 and Bitcoin has been severed for some time, with the two markets pricing under different logic. The rise in US stocks is driven by earnings realized and real profit growth. The Bitcoin is holding steady because its own narrative is waiting for a clear catalyst—expectations for the CLARITY Act are fading, stablecoin liquidity is shrinking, mining companies are continuing to ship, and internal variables are suppressing macro positive factors. Second, the S&P hits new highs to digest negative news, not ignore it. The ISM manufacturing index has expanded for seven consecutive months, employment data has exceeded expectations, and the yield on 30-year US Treasuries once surged to 5.27%, all clear signals of tightening. Setting new highs in this combination signals simultaneous digestion of both good and bad directions. For the crypto world, the new high in US stocks confirmed one thing—global risk appetite remains intact, and capital has not become completely conservative. But Bitcoin didn't follow suit, which shows that crypto market pricing is not anchored in stock market sentiment. What can drive Bitcoin out of direction is not at the US stock market level in its own narrative. Just wait.

Storage Market Direction: Week Ahead Analysis The storage sector is anticipated to experience significant movements this week, driven by a confluence of technical indicators and macroeconomic events. Early in the week, SanDisk is expected to undergo a correction, following last Thursday's substantial overnight surge. This pullback is projected to set the stage for a sharp rally on Thursday, coinciding with the release of its earnings report and a MACD zero crossing on the 5-day moving average. However, the positive momentum may be short-lived. Historically, storage stocks tend to rebound rapidly after reaching a stage low. Should a full rebound to the target occur within 16 hours, it is highly probable that Friday's non-farm payrolls report will trigger another significant pullback. #EarningsRealityCheck #SpaceXBeatEstimates #AMDBeatsButDrops 多头从“等周线确认”变成了带对冲试仓，但这仍不是单边共识：Yekoi 同时保留保护空和低位多，说明方向偏上，执行仍防回撤。 Yekoi 看到 $BTC、$ETH 的 8 小时抛压迟迟没有结果，低点持续抬高，因此把整体目标看向 67K；但他也把 60K—62K 作为极端回撤加仓区。Traderbamp 转向观察 $CRV 的高低点上移，TraderGauls 则只在 $BTC 支撑有效时才看好 $UNI。综合判断：本轮真正的矛盾不是看多还是看空，而是现在追随，还是保留回撤仓位。$BTC 若失守 62K，多头结构降级；若有效站稳 65.4K，才有资格讨论 67K。两笔山寨计划都只有技术结构、没有官方催化，本轮不列机会。你会跟随保护多，还是等关键位确认？仅作观点与信息整理，不构成投资建议 #标普500首次站上7700点, setting a new all-time high Guys, US stocks have hit new highs again.

Guidance is the ticket — beat without it and you get sold 📈 AMD after Aug 4 close: consensus $11.3B revenue, +47% YoY. Margins and AI chip demand are the real read.

Palantir already showed the market rewards #EarningsRealityCheck #SpaceXBeatEstimates #AMDBeatsButDrops Lido's dump seemed odd to me, so I took a deeper look into what was going on. Here's the likely reason: $LDO is selling off because of concerns around Ethereum's EIP-8361 proposal. The proposal would reduce staking rewards as ETH staking increases. At 50% network staking, issuance rewards would effectively fall to zero. Even today, staking yields could be cut from about 2.6% to 1.2% if fully implemented. That would make liquid staking tokens like stETH less attractive. Lido could see slower TVL growth and lower protocol revenue. The market is pricing in the potential long-term impact.#EarningsRealityCheck #SpaceXBeatEstimates #AMDBeatsButDrops 🛢️ Hormuz is about to reopen, and the war premium is drained in one breath · Besente: It is possible to reach an agreement with Iran tomorrow to open the Strait of Hormuz Rubio: progress in the negotiations; Iran's position softens, considering letting Europe into the Strait for mine clearance · WTI intraday-5%, falling back to $74.66; Stoxx600 hit a new high in July Once the oil collapses, the logic of "war = inflation = interest rate hike" becomes loose.

Now this downward catalyst is being dismantled one by one, and risk assets collectively breathe a sigh of relief-half + 6%, Intel + 10%. The only thing that's still pretending to sleep is encryption. $BTC is stuck at 64K, and risk assets do not follow when they rise, but they fall when they fall. This divergence of "following the decline and not following the rise" is the most important signal to focus on now-the narrative favors the bulls, but the price has not caught up. Don't rush to translate macro positives into reasons to buy. We'll wait for BTC to get its own direction, then we'll talk about whether to follow.

Base is the strongest "application" for ETH in this cycle, not Arbitrum, not the L2 war winner. If the mainnet is the "$ETH" "central bank clearing layer," then Base is its ATM interface reaching 100 million Coinbase users. On August 24, Base's daily active users surged to 1.05 million, up 60% from the beginning of the month; during the same period, Arbitrum had 394,000, Linea 198,000, Mantle 69,000—Base alone has more than these several L2s combined. In July, Base's DEX trading volume was $98 billion, accounting for 28% globally, second only to Solana; over the past 12 months, Base's share of DEX volume within the ETH ecosystem rose from 2.8% to 9.25%. Basenames minted over 200,000 in one week after launch, while ENS took nearly two years to reach that number—this is putting the ".eth identity" into the wallets of Coinbase's novice users. More importantly at the base layer: Coinbase Smart Wallet hides seed phrases, gas, and bridges behind FaceID + gasless transactions; Aerodrome / Uniswap / Morpho on Base all connect through the same compliant gateway. Previously, accessing ETH required learning MetaMask; now opening Coinbase is equivalent to accessing ETH. This is completely different from "another OP Stack chain": Arbitrum competes for DeFi depth (GMX, Pendle, Aave, BUIDL II are all there); Base competes for the moment when the next billion users first encounter blockchain—Farcaster, Zora, AI Agent payments, JPMD deposit token pilot all run on Base. In short: Arbitrum is Ethereum's "NYSE trading floor," Base is Ethereum's "Robinhood App." The former serves institutional market makers, the latter puts ETH into the icon ordinary people open every day. Whether $ETH can surpass 4000 this August depends not on L1 gas fees but on two things: ① Whether Base's daily active users can stay above 1 million; ② Whether traditional brokerage accounts will really start increasing ETH exposure after the ETHE cash dividend on 8/7. If both hit, ETH will no longer be "just another public chain," but the global financial system's backup clearing mainnet. $ETH 亚洲市场这波回血，本质是在交易两个预期。一个是地缘风险降温，资金撤出避险仓位。另一个是 AI 周期重新获得资金认可，半导体龙头重新成为买入目标。但真正的趋势反转，还要看成交量和资金持续性。恐慌负责制造低位筹码。 AI 产业兑现，才负责推动下一轮上涨。$BTC $ETH #闪迪财报前夕, HBF and storage shortages have sparked heated discussion SanDisk will deliver its Q4 2026 results after the market closed tonight. The options market has priced in a 16% price fluctuation after the earnings report, while the pre-market price has surged over 10%. HBF standard release, capacity sold out, pre-market surge—tonight will be a "big test" for the storage sector. --- (1) Market expectations: $8.39 billion in revenue, $33 in EPS Wall Street consensus expects SanDisk Q4 revenue to be about $8.39 billion (+41% quarter-on-quarter) and EPS of about $33 (+43% quarter-on-quarter). The company's own guidance is $7.75–8.25 billion. Market consensus above the upper bound of company guidance means expectations have been pushed to a fairly high level—if only "in line with expectations," it may not be enough. Goldman Sachs had previously sharply raised SanDisk's target price from $1,200 to $2,200, citing structural demand from the AI storage supercycle. The forward order book size has reached $41.6–42 billion, providing visibility into revenue for the coming quarters. (2) HBF Standard Released: A New Weapon for AI Inference The day before the financial report (August 4), SanDisk and SK Hynix jointly released the first standard specification for high-bandwidth flash memory (HBF). HBF is positioned between HBM and SSD, targeting AI inference scenarios and balancing high bandwidth and large capacity. 8-layer and 16-layer NAND stacks, with a maximum capacity of 512GB and bandwidth coverage from 0.4 to 3.0TB/s. The standard was released through OCP (Open Computing Project), aiming to establish an open standard to address memory bandwidth and capacity bottlenecks in AI inference. (3) Capacity sold out: The 2027 shipment has already been sold Industry chain news shows that Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix have fully allocated DRAM and HBM production capacities for 2027. SanDisk's NAND Flash production capacity for the whole year has also been fully sold out. SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won predicts that AI semiconductor demand in 2027 may increase by 60%-100% compared to 2026, with overall storage demand increasing by 50%-60%, leading to the most severe supply-demand imbalance in history. SanDisk and SK Hynix aim to launch HBF samples in the second half of 2026 and AI inference products in early 2027. (4) Financial report highlights Whether revenue can break through 8.39 billion yuan—if it only "meets expectations" or even slightly exceeds expectations, the market may not offer much reward. The key is data center revenue, with Zacks consensus forecasting data center revenue at $2.714 billion (+85% quarter-on-quarter). NAND pricing trends and enterprise storage demand are key indicators to watch. The outlook for 2027 and the timeline for HBF commercialization will determine the market's confidence in the long-term narrative. (5) My judgment SanDisk's short-term performance depends on whether tonight's earnings report is "better than expected" or "not quite expected." If revenue approaches $9 billion, data center revenue exceeds expectations, and the outlook for 2027 is optimistic, the stock price could break above $1,500 or even higher. If it were just "in line with expectations," the pre-market 10% gain might have already been fully priced in. The fundamental logic of the storage sector remains unchanged—AI storage demand is real, and production capacity has already been sold through 2027. But the market's concerns about "all the good news being exhausted" are equally real. Tonight's data will determine whether SanDisk returns to an upward channel or continues to digest valuations. $SNDK Recently, as discussions on the U.S. digital asset regulatory bill continue to advance, market expectations for regulatory implementation have been steadily rising. However, until the final outcome is clear, listed companies related to stablecoins and crypto infrastructure still face a higher policy risk premium than Bitcoin. Recent market performance shows that BTC has generally remained relatively stable, while some crypto concept stocks, stablecoin industry chains, and DeFi sectors have seen significantly greater volatility, indicating that capital is reassessing the potential impact of regulatory changes on business models. Meanwhile, U.S. tech stocks remained strong, Asian semiconductor sectors continued to rebound, and overall risk asset sentiment improved. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have maintained net inflows for several consecutive days, providing some support for BTC. However, the market still finds it difficult to determine whether the price increase is due to improved macro liquidity or regulatory expectations. On the other hand, stablecoin business remains an important source of income for some trading platforms. If the U.S. introduces stricter regulations on stablecoin incentives, compliance requirements, and consumer protection in the future, related companies' profit models may face new adjustment pressures. Therefore, compared to BTC, the stablecoin ecosystem and DeFi sector remain more sensitive to policy changes. In the short term, the market will continue to focus on U.S. regulatory developments, Federal Reserve policy expectations, ETF capital flows, and earnings reports from large tech companies. These factors will continue to jointly determine the flow of funds and risk appetite in the next phase of the crypto market. $BTC $ETH $SOL $COIN $CRCL #财报观察员：业绩喜忧参半，解禁将至！SpaceX后续怎么看？ SpaceX 首份财报数字确实漂亮，但盘后跌了 8%。 78.14 亿营收，同比增 92%，超预期的 69 亿。净亏损从 10 亿收窄到 5.41 亿。三大业务全超预期，业绩本身挑不出毛病。但 AI 支出 158 亿，总资本开支 183.7 亿，同比增 550%。自由现金流压力一下就出来了。常规时段股价先涨了 9.4%，盘后 15 分钟内从 131 直接砸到 114，利好出尽的剧本走得极其标准。更大变量在明天。财报公布后第二个交易日，最多 9.115 亿股内部人持股解禁。目前流通股才 6.4 亿股，解禁量是现在流通盘的 1.4 倍。空头已经提前扎堆了。2.193 亿股空仓，占流通股 34%，比特斯拉还多。空头浮盈 73 亿还在加仓。另一边，27 家机构给“买入”，平均目标价 236-239 美元。摩根士丹利目标 300 美元，最高目标价 800 美元。两边都是真金白银在押注。我的判断：财报本身很好，但短期定价权不在业绩，在解禁。9 亿股潜在卖盘，加上空头已经浮盈丰厚，任何反弹都可能被砸下来。我不在这个位置追多，也不会去空。追多，解禁的抛压还没落地，风险收益比不划算；追空，空头仓位已经极度拥挤，Facebook 2012 年解禁当天股价涨了 12.6%，一旦轧空会很惨。等解禁落地、筹码换手完再看真实供需。好公司不等于好价格，好价格也不等于好时机。#AMD财报超预期 has growth been overdrawn? AMD delivered a report card that is almost flawless—a record $11.536 billion in revenue, doubling data center growth, and earnings per share exceeding expectations. However, after hours, the stock price once dropped by 9%. It's not that the performance is poor, but that the market feels it's "not good enough." --- (1) Data: No flaws to be found with AMD's Q2 revenue was $11.536 billion, up 50% year-on-year, setting a new record; Non-GAAP earnings per share were $1.66, exceeding the expected $1.62; gross margin was 56%, net profit was $2.76 billion. The most impressive is the data center business. Revenue was $6.7 billion, up 107% year-on-year, accounting for 58% of total revenue. Server CPUs have set records for five consecutive quarters, with cloud and enterprise sales both growing by over 70% year-on-year. PC client business revenue was $3.1 billion, up 23% year-on-year. The AI rack system Helios has begun shipping, securing major clients such as OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, and Microsoft. CEO Lisa Su expects the data center business to "more than double" by 2027. The only weakness was the gaming business, with revenue of only $779 million, down 31% year-on-year. (2) Why did it fall? Q3 guidance did not provide any "surprises." The company expects Q3 revenue of $13 billion (fluctuating $300 million), higher than analysts' average estimate of $12.5 billion, but below some aggressive buyers' expectations of $13.5–$14 billion. The stock price has more than doubled this year, and the market's tolerance for "further exceeding expectations" is extremely low. The median value of 13 billion yuan only brings "expectations," not "surprise." Capital expenditures surged. Q2 capital expenditure was $808 million, compared to just $282 million in the same period last year. Free cash flow fell quarter-on-quarter to $1.56 billion. The money is spent, and the market is waiting for faster returns. SpaceX added another blow. On the same day, SpaceX announced that future AI computing power will exclusively use NVIDIA GPUs, with Elon Musk calling the NVIDIA Vera Rubin architecture "currently the best AI computer." This is a heavy psychological blow to AMD—NVIDIA's ecological moat continues to expand. (3) Is it valuation overdraft, or short-term sentiment? AMD's problem isn't its performance, but expectations running too fast. The market has labeled it as the "NVIDIA challenger," and its stock price has doubled. When you're expected to keep breaking records at the summit, any "not surprising enough" can be magnified. Capital expenditures are soaring, competitive pressure is intensifying, and what the market wants is no longer "growth," but "growth beyond expectations." Lisa Su said during the call, "We are still in the early stages of a multi-year AI adoption cycle." The long-term narrative remains unchanged, but short-term valuations will take time to digest. The earnings report exceeded expectations but fell sharply—not because AMD performed poorly, but because the market wanted more. When a company is already pinned on the high hopes of "challenging Nvidia," each submission becomes more difficult. $AMD $NVDA Alt season, selective capital rotation phase The part already reflected in the price and the variables not yet reflected can be divided first, and the current market clearly shows that it is not a rise across the entire range but a selective rotation of capital. The key facts observed in the original text are as follows. The majority of altcoins are consolidating, and a pattern is confirmed where capital is concentrated only in certain assets such as $JTO $JELLY $BTC $OPG $BTCSLX $LAB $BSB $ALLO $CHIP. On the other hand, $BEAT $EDGE $COAI $TRUMP $RAVE $SPACE $SOPH $IP $AVNT $ZAMA $OFC $PIEVERSE $VIRTUAL $ACU $H $MEGA are classified as having already lost momentum. Additional watchlist assets mentioned include $MEME $EDEN $HUMA $ZKP $METIS. Reading this situation from the perspective of derivative risk, it shows not just a matter of asset selection but the market's leverage distribution and liquidation risk structure. Conditions for rise, invalidation conditions, tail risk, In the second quarter, Italy's United Bank of São Paulo reduced IBIT ordinary shares from 646809 shares to 40,723 shares, a decrease of 606086 shares, a decline of 93.7%. The corresponding declared market value also dropped from $24.85 million to $1.356 million. Just looking at this set of data, it's easy to conclude that "major Italian banks are pulling out of BTC." But after spreading out the entire 13F position, the actual actions resemble product switching and risk restructuring. During the same period, the bank still held 3.4736 million shares of ARKB, only 3.7% less than 3.6076 million shares in the first quarter, with a declared value of about $67.63 million at the end of the period. ARKB remains its largest disclosed crypto ETF holdings, with an amount about 50 times that of the remaining IBIT common shares. Therefore, reducing IBIT holdings does not mean significantly cutting off all Bitcoin exposure. More accurately: it significantly reduced BlackRock's IBIT position but retained the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF as its primary BTC allocation. On the ETH side, the increase was noticeable. BlackRock's holdings in ETHB, the staked Ethereum ETF, rose from 116,200 shares to 349,600 shares, an increase of 200.9%; The declared value increased from $3.148 million to $7.097 million. ETHB provides ETH price exposure and includes some staking yields, providing an additional source of income compared to simply holding spot ETFs. However, this is not yet about "ETH replacing BTC." ETHB's declared value is only about 10.5% of ARKB's, and overall BTC-related holdings remain significantly larger. Changes in derivatives are actually more noteworthy. The number of IBIT call options dropped sharply from 2.4965 million shares to 18,000 shares, a decrease of 99.3%; At the same time, a new put option corresponding to 500,000 IBIT shares was added. However, 13F did not disclose the option's strike price, expiration date, premium, or complete portfolio relationships, so this 500,000-share bearish exposure may be a protective hedging or a more complex strategy, and it cannot be directly written as a bank fully bearish on BTC. This declaration reflects not simply "sell BTC and buy ETH," but rather four simultaneous actions: compressing IBIT common shares, nearly eliminating IBIT call options, retaining core ARKB positions, and increasing ETH exposure with staking yields. The next 13F article will continue to look at two proportions: whether ARKB has also started to decline noticeably, and whether ETHB's share in crypto ETF portfolios can continue to increase. Only when both occur simultaneously does it count as a true transfer from BTC to staked ETH. #意大利大行减IBIT普通股94%, increased staked ETH #闪迪财报前夕, HBF and storage shortages have sparked heated discussion $SNDK This SanDisk grid trade took most of the day, starting from 1391 and now at 1465, with a floating profit of 17 points, and I've been caught on the grid 509 times. By 11 p.m., I was ready to stop it. SanDisk's earnings report will be released early tomorrow morning. Continuing to hold positions at this level is a gamble on direction. Grid single boards are suitable for oscillation, not for betting on one-sided bets. Collect profits before the financial report, and only discuss after the direction is clear. During this period, the market has become very familiar with the scenario of "beating expectations but falling down"—both $AMD and SpaceX are cautionary tales. If SanDisk's performance explodes but drops after hours, the grid will be directly broken through the lower edge. If the performance falls short of expectations, a sharp drop is out of the question. In either case, using grid data to review financial reports is not a good choice. BTC has returned to 64,000, but only 28 coins are collecting money across the entire market. Is this a recovery, or are the whales secretly changing seats? The current market is more like a quiet position swap game rather than a widespread rally. I stared at the fund flow chart for a long time, and my biggest impression was: the money hasn't disappeared, it's just become extremely picky. BTC saw a net inflow of $170 million. ETF funds did come back, but when the price broke out, volume didn't keep up. This shows big money is buying, but not recklessly grabbing shares—more like buying at low levels while observing. ETH actually saw a net outflow of 11.9 million, with institutions quietly lowering risk by leveraging BTC's strong momentum. This "big brother leads the way, little brother retreats" rhythm is often not a signal for a full-scale attack. What truly draws attention are two very clear lines: AI computing power and US Treasury RWA. ONDO saw 11.5 million inflows, PENDLE 12.6 million, and ENA 8.3 million. Funds aren't being scattered randomly, but are flowing precisely into tracks that can tell "income" stories. On the other hand, TRX earned 16.7 million yuan thanks to its RWA narrative, and even established public blockchains have started to ride this wave. Meanwhile, MEME, Bondchain, and GameFi became the hardest-hit sectors: DOGE outflowed 36.8 million, ADA lost 21.3 million, and ARB dropped 12.4 million due to unlocking pressure. The withdrawal from these sectors is not accidental; it is the market abandoning "pure sentiment" and...In the second quarter, Italy's United Bank of São Paulo reduced IBIT ordinary shares from 646809 shares to 40,723 shares, a decrease of 606086 shares, a decline of 93.7%.

Bige will explain the underlying logic thoroughly and, incidentally, discuss its impact on the crypto market. First, the spin-off and listing completely shed the burden. Previously, it belonged to Western Digital, and its mechanical hard drive business dragged down valuations. After the spin-off in 2025, it will focus purely on NAND flash and enterprise-grade SSDs, with no outdated businesses holding it back. Wall Street directly repriced it, opening up its starting point. Second, AI has driven a real explosive demand, which is the core driver of the rise. People are always focused on the GPU for AI and neglect storage. For large model inference and RAG retrieval, AI servers consume several times more NAND flash memory than traditional servers. Big players like Microsoft and AWS are aggressively expanding their data centers, with enterprise-level SSD orders overflowing. As a leading supplier, SanDisk's data center business has multiplied several times year-on-year, with gross margins reaching 78%. Explosive performance isn't just a story—the financial report is real. Third, NAND flash supply and demand are tight, with product prices continuing to rise. Large manufacturers prioritize high-margin HBM capacity for production, but the pace of NAND expansion cannot keep up with the incremental demand brought by AI, causing spot and long-term contract prices to climb steadily. Goods are sold without worries, and they also take the initiative in price increases, directly amplifying profits. Fourth, upgrading the business model to lock in long-term revenue. It has signed long-term volume-locking supply agreements with leading overseas cloud providers, locking in orders worth tens of billions in advance. Even if storage cycles fluctuate, the company still has guaranteed revenue. The market no longer sees it as a purely volatile cyclical stock and is willing to offer higher valuations. Fifth, institutional funds are grouping together, and investment banks collectively raise target prices. Institutions like Goldman Sachs remain bullish, constantly raising target prices, and incremental funds keep entering the market, further boosting the stock price. But objectively, after such a huge surge, valuations are already very high. If AI capital spending falls short of expectations and storage supply is released, the pullback will be very damaging. Regarding the connection to the crypto market, Bi Ge speaks frankly 1. SanDisk represents the main line of AI storage, and its continued strength indicates the market is still betting on AI capital expenditure. The overall recovery in risk appetite in the AI sector will indirectly boost sentiment in the crypto market. 2. However, this is a market for US semiconductor stocks and will not directly drive Bitcoin's unilateral surge. U.S. tech stocks can provide sentiment support for BTC, but they cannot determine the direction of the Bitcoin market. 3. Conversely, if SanDisk's performance falls short of expectations and valuations crash at high levels, it will crash the entire tech growth sector, putting pressure on Bitcoin as well. This risk cannot be ignored.市值3万亿美元只是开始？亚马逊500亿豪赌，已经赢下关键第一步。亚马逊正式站上3万亿市值，成为全球第五家迈入这一里程碑的科技巨头。这一轮股价爆发，驱动力量早已不是传统电商业务，而是AWS云计算交出一份远超市场预期的财报答卷。二季度AWS营收同比大涨37%，创下近18个季度最高增速，实打实印证企业端AI算力需求仍在爆发式扩张。此前市场最大的顾虑：亚马逊持续砸重金扩建AI数据中心，海量资本投入会不会难以兑现回报。而最新财报给出明确答案。公司直接将2026全年资本支出上调至2200亿美元，较原先规划再增加200亿美元，绝大多数资金全部投向AI算力基建、服务器与存储硬件采购。有意思的是，面对巨额开支，市场选择用股价新高投票。越来越多机构投资者达成共识：这笔巨额投入不能简单视作成本，而是提前锁定未来数年AI时代的核心基础设施筹码。管理层也释放重磅信号：就算保持当前高强度建设节奏，算力紧张格局仍将延续，部分客户需求已经预订到2028年，AWS在手长期订单接近5000亿美元，需求具备很强确定性。这条产业链向上传导，直接利好存储芯片赛道，AI数据中心大规模扩建持续拉动内存、存储芯片采购，SNDK、SKHYNIX的景气逻辑持续得到验证。风险提示：高额资本开支会持续压制自由现金流，后续要看订单能否持续转化为实际利润，算力、存储供给缓解之后也会带来价格竞争压力。 $AMZN $SNDK $SKHYNIX #亚马逊市值破3万亿，500亿押注先赢一局 #AMD财报超预期 has growth been overdrawn? AMD's biggest problem isn't that it doesn't make money, but that it spoils its investors. The first time I got 90 points, I thought it was amazing; Later, everyone thought you should always score above 90. This time, I scored 90 points, which actually felt a bit average. $AMD This financial report is like this. Revenue grew by 50%, data centers soared by 107%, which would have been a trump card in the past. But now, the market isn't looking at whether you're growing, but whether you can keep surpassing expectations and keep making people complain. The AI market has entered its second half, and investors are not buying today's profits, but the miracles of the coming years. So AMD's stock price decline doesn't mean the market doesn't believe in it, but rather that the capital market is shifting from believing in stories to checking for cash-in. In the past, excelling could raise the price. Now, excellence is just the ticket to entry—you have to be awesome, even exclaim. To keep rising, you have to prove time and again that you can create miracles. Otherwise, the stock price would definitely keep rising. 📌 实盘声明当前仓位：BTC现货长持 + 指数基金定投。不碰合约、杠杆、期货。本批次新闻不改变当前仓位计划——DEX增长和RWA迁移是长期趋势，短期不影响BTC定投节奏。 --- 一、DEX与CEX的权力交接：交易量占比首破24% 7月DEX与CEX现货交易量之比首次超过24%，一年前还只有17%。增速远超大多数人预期。更关键的信号是Uniswap的动作：正在Robinhood Chain开发代币发行平台"Pools"。两种模式——Crowd Launch（4小时拍卖制，50%拍卖+50%建v4流动性池，5万美元FDV达标才迁移）和Instant Launch（Bonding Curve模式，80%代币做曲线交易）。相关合约已产生数百次拍卖事件，基础设施已部署。这意味着什么？交易入口和发币入口都在向链上迁移。DeFi不再只是存量TVL游戏。当DEX开始抢CEX的"发币权"，CEX最核心的护城河——上币权和流动性分配——正在被链上协议从根部瓦解。 Uniswap用更机构化的拍卖机制+Robinhood Chain的合规入口，跟pump.fun和其他发射平台形成差 Positive narratives cannot withstand real pressure; a comprehensive analysis of SPCX's financial report, cash-burning crisis, unlocking risks, and space computing power outlook.

First Listed Financial Report, Impressive Surface Performance Q2 SpaceX Revenue Reached $7.8 Billion, a 92% year-on-year increase, far exceeding market expectations; Net loss narrowed to $541 million, adjusted EBIT-DA rose 192% year-on-year, and the profit base continues to improve. The structure of three major business segments is very clear: 1. Starlink is the sole cash cow: revenue of $4.3 billion, operating profit of $1.66 billion; user base exceeds 12 million. To capture overseas markets, it launched low-priced packages, resulting in a decline in per-user revenue and explosive growth in user base. 2. AI business experienced rapid expansion: revenue tripled year-on-year, with a large number of new cloud service orders; Today, xAI, Grok, X social platforms, and ground computing clusters have formed a complete AI landscape. 3. Starship development is progressing steadily, with V3 version preparing for test flights, and a new generation of Starlink satellites to be launched soon. Musk updated his strategic plan externally, moving up the goal of achieving $1 trillion in annual revenue from 2031 to 2030; At the same time, it was officially announced that all AI computing power equipment will use NVIDIA GPUs, and plans to deploy orbital space data centers will utilize natural space cooling and solar energy resources, envisioning the long-term vision of a second-level Kardashev civilization. 2. The Core Pain Point Behind the After-Market Crash:#AMD财报超预期 has growth been overdrawn? AMD's earnings report beat expectations? The numbers are exceeded, but the capital has long priced in this expectation. 11.5 billion in revenue, data center 6.7 billion, up 107%. Looks pretty strong, right? It still fell 8% after hours. The problem isn't earnings, but expectations. Funds want to see 13 billion, a tough record crushing Nvidia. But you only got 115, and Q3 guidance is only 130—just enough to meet the previous estimate others previously given, not a cent, and gross margin stuck at 56%, with no intention of jumping higher. How can you give a higher valuation? But the fall wasn't unfair. Helios rack-level systems officially began shipping in Q3. This is AMD's first time offering a complete solution to compete directly with Nvidia. The reason gross margin hasn't moved is that it hasn't ramped up yet. Once Helios gets started, profit improvement is only a matter of time. This drop is due to retail investors' expectations being too high, allowing institutions to cash in. Helios hasn't gained momentum yet, and once real data comes out, the valuation will have to be recalculated. A drop is a token for those who understand; AMD, waiting for your bottom-fishing opportunity, shines brighter than ever.早上迟到被老板逮住，我却被手机上的一条消息惊醒：标普500冲上7700点，市值突破70万亿元！今天早上，我刚冲进公司电梯，就和老板撞了个正着。他看了一眼手表，正准备开口，我的手机突然弹出一条行情提醒：标普500站上7700点，再创历史新高！那一刻，我连迟到都顾不上解释了。 7700点是什么概念？如果按照这一位置计算，标普500总市值已经来到约70万亿元的惊人规模。有人兴奋高呼“新一轮财富盛宴”，也有人开始警告：涨得越高，摔得越重，这会不会又是一场被资金吹起来的泡沫。这绝不是所有人都能轻松赚钱的普涨牛市。一、指数涨得凶，但背后不是只靠情绪硬吹很多人看到7700点，第一反应就是：“估值已经上天了。” 但判断市场有没有泡沫，不能只盯着指数点位，更要看企业究竟赚到了多少钱。这一轮行情的底层动力，不只是资金追涨，而是部分核心企业的：每股收益（EPS）持续提升；自由现金流不断兑现；营收规模真实增长； AI相关投入开始转化为商业回报。过去市场炒AI，更多是在炒想象力；如今，部分头部企业已经开始把算力、模型和数据中心投入转化成真实收入。故事正在从“未来可能赚钱”，切换成“现在已经开始赚钱”。只要盈利增速能够继续消化估值，7700点就不能简单等同于无厘头的泡沫。当然，当前价格中依然包含了对降息、AI增长和企业盈利的乐观预期。一旦实际业绩低于预期，市场的波动也会被迅速放大。二、真正推高指数的，不是所有公司，而是少数超级巨头这轮繁荣最大的特点，不是“全面开花”，而是资金向头部资产高度集中。前十大权重股占据了接近四成的市场市值。表面上看，这是风险集中；换一个角度看，这些公司也正在成为全球资本眼中的“避险硬通货”。原因并不复杂。它们往往拥有：强大的资产负债表；充足的现金储备；全球化收入来源；极高的行业壁垒；在通胀环境中的定价权。经济不确定时，资金未必会完全离开市场，而是会从弱资产撤退，转向现金流稳定、盈利能力强的超级公司。所以，我们看到的并不是所有股票一起狂欢，而是资本在做一道残酷的选择题：谁能够穿越周期，钱就流向谁。这也是为什么指数不断刷新纪录，很多普通投资者的账户却未必同步创新高。指数牛，不代表个股都牛；市场繁荣，也不代表人人赚钱。三、真正可怕的不是场内资金，而是场外还有“弹药库” 市场之所以具备继续向上的条件，还有一个经常被忽视的因素：场外资金。过去利率处在高位时，大量资金停留在货币基金和现金类产品中，因为投资者什么都不用做，也能获得相对可观的收益。但如果降息周期进一步展开，现金类资产的收益率持续下降，这些观望资金就会开始重新计算机会成本：继续拿现金，收益越来越低；进入市场，又担心指数位置太高。于是，这些钱未必会一次性冲进股市，但很可能在每一次明显回调中分批进场。这意味着，市场下方可能存在一个由庞大场外资金构成的“流动性垫”。只要盈利预期没有被彻底破坏，每次下跌都可能吸引逢低买盘。这也是结构性长牛最典型的运行方式：不是一路直线拉升，而是在质疑、回调和震荡中不断抬高底部。但别高兴得太早：7700点并不意味着风险消失我对这轮结构性繁荣持肯定态度，但这种肯定必须存在前提:如AI投入是否继续兑现收入。拭目以待吧。 🪝 Recently, a hot speculation has been circulating in the community: OKX's strategic focus is fully shifting toward X Layer and OKB, and in the future, will they gradually distance themselves or even abandon $CORE? Panic continues to spread, and many holders are becoming anxious. Setting aside sentiment rumors, we objectively analyze the cooperation history of both parties, their track strategies, and exchange operation logic. 1. First, review: The real foundation of cooperation between OKX and CORE Many people don't know that OKX was among the earliest leading exchanges to deeply support CORE. 1. Spot trading will be launched on the mainnet during its initial launch, continuously providing liquidity support; 2. The two parties have reached an official strategic cooperation, with OKX launching staking products on the CORE platform and opening up user participation in on-chain verification channels; 3. OKX Web3 wallet natively supports Core public chains, collaborating to launch NFT minting and community collaboration activities; 4. OKX has long served as a Core network validator node, directly participating in public chain security operation and maintenance. Most importantly: CORE focuses on BTC native non-custodial staking, and the track is the currently hot BTCFi. OKX has long been involved in the Bitcoin ecosystem, continuously funding underlying Bitcoin developers. From a track perspective, the two have a natural alignment and are not two unrelated tracks. 2. Why have rumors emerged in the market that "OKX is about to abandon CORE"? The rumors originated from OKX's own strategic adjustment: OKX concentrated resources on its own Layer 2 network, X Layer, empowering OKB with full platform resources,#财报观察员: AMD and SpaceX take the lead, with Circle as the finale The first three games of earnings week have been played, and the results have become quite polarized. I am Nan Yangu Palantir surged 12%, revenue increased 93%, and its full-year guidance was raised upward. The reason the market gives a premium is simple—it proves that the demand for the AI application layer is real and is accelerating. AMD's data is strong, with revenue of $11.5 billion and data center $6.7 billion, up 107%. But it fell 9% in after-hours because its performance was "good," and the market wanted "perfection." AMD's performance represents the midstream of the chip sector, with both upstream and downstream players squeezing its profit margins. SpaceX's revenue was 7.8 billion, up 92%, narrowing losses, but with the 100 billion yuan unlock the day after tomorrow, it fell 2.7% in after-hours trading. The three financial reports have formed a pattern—exceeding expectations has become the entry ticket. The next step is how long growth can last, when profits will be realized, and whether valuations have been absorbed in advance. Palantir wins with incremental expectations, while AMD and SpaceX lose due to higher thresholds. Today's pre-market Circle was the grand finale. For the crypto market, this is what truly warrants attention. Coinbase's revenue fell 18.5%, Robinhood's crypto revenue dropped nearly 40%, and USDT growth nearly stalled. Three answers have already been submitted on the crypto side, all pointing in the same direction—the liquidity base is contracting. If USDC's circulating supply is still rising, it means the money hasn't gone far—it's just moving from USDT to USDC. If it is also falling, that is a real warning sign—the stablecoin market is shrinking overall. USDC reserves had shrunk to $72.06 billion by the end of July. Whether the gap in volume can be made up by interest rates is the core mystery of Circle's financial report. USDC reserves had shrunk to $72.06 billion by the end of July. Whether the volume gap can be filled by interest rates remains the core mystery of this financial report. My judgment is simple—Circle's answer will directly influence the market's assessment of liquidity across the entire crypto industry. It does not verify a company's performance, but rather the direction the underlying liquidity structure of the entire market is heading. Nan Yan Gu finished speaking. What do you think? $BTC $SNDK $SOL #标普500首次站上7700点, setting a new all-time high If you want to make money in US stocks, you need to change your mindset. Even if you trade US stock contracts, you should choose those with trending volatility. Previously, I bought AI with my eyes closed. Buy chips, buy storage, AI servers are booming, and buy the entire industry chain. It really makes money—anyone involved with AI can start at ten times the price. But that's not the case now, because semiconductors are cooling down, but capital hasn't left the US stock market. Where did the money go? They moved to cloud storage, software, consumer goods, and even traditional companies like Apple and Coca-Cola. What does this indicate? It's not that the market no longer trusts AI, but rather that the market has started to cool down. The valuations of GPUs, chips, and servers keep rising, skyrocketing, so you start to wonder: Who can truly leverage AI to improve efficiency? Who can turn AI into profit? Who has stable cash flow? So you notice: chip adjustments, cloud computing taking over; Technology stocks diverged, consumer stocks rebounded. This is actually a very normal step in a bull market: From speculating on expectations, looking at performance. In the future, the US stock market may no longer be a "buy the right track, everyone rises" trend. It will only be index fluctuations, sector rotation, and stock differentiation. If you want to make money, you have to learn—not always chasing the hottest concepts, but understanding where your funds will go next when the market shifts. The general direction of AI may not be over, but the era of "buying AI with eyes closed" is over. Next, the focus is on understanding the industry, not chasing hot topics, so forget about the US stock market you already know about now. To learn about truly valuable undervalued companies, I suggest you look at $AMZN, $GOOGL, and the like—definitely worth studying than storage.
