Odaily News: Citrini analyst jukan posted on X platform, stating that GF Securities Overseas Electronics Newsletter reiterated its Buy rating on Intel with a $136 price target, and believes this stock offering sends a positive signal. The report expects Intel's foundry business to break even in Q4 2027, with margin leverage effects fully reflected by 2028. Yield rates and external customer expansion—especially progress with Apple—are advancing steadily, and the EMIB customer base is also expanding, with customers including Google and AWS. Intel has secured support from substrate supplier Unimicron and will produce silicon capacitors internally. The report raised Intel's expected EPS for 2026 and 2027 by 3% and 1% respectively, maintaining the $136 price target after accounting for dilution effects. Intel expanded its stock offering from the initially planned $15 billion to $20 billion, with institutional demand reportedly exceeding $100 billion. The offering price was $95, and the overallotment option has been fully exercised. CEO Lip-Bu Tan and his family subscribed approximately $12 million at the offering price, which the report believes reflects management's confidence in the company and may support capital expenditure for fiscal year 2027. The report states that Intel reiterated its foundry business will achieve breakeven by the end of 2027; if delayed to 2028, the primary reason would be increased demand for additional investment. The report maintains its previous assessment, expecting 18A yield of approximately 80% in Q2 2026, with CWF already entering the capacity ramp-up phase. External customer collaboration continues to advance, with Apple's 14A high-volume manufacturing being particularly notable. The report raised Intel's back-end business revenue expectations for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 to $1.1 billion and $7 billion respectively, citing improved visibility into AWS Trainium3 adopting EMIB-T in 2027, as well as Google's Humufish and Triggerfish entering production expansion phases from H2 2027 to 2028.

Odaily News, according to Bitcoin News monitoring, new research released by @PraveenPerera shows that the Coldcard attacker appears to have first identified vulnerable addresses, then sorted them by BTC balance, and began transferring funds in batches starting from the addresses with the highest holdings. The actual transfer software used was relatively crude. One address had 225 spendable UTXOs, and the attacker happened to extract the most recent 200, leaving the earliest 25, including one UTXO worth 0.16 BTC. This is fully consistent with the 200-record limit that a blockchain API investigated by the researchers returns by default, suggesting the attacker may have failed to load the next page of data. The software even spent a 294-satoshi UTXO, reportedly increasing transaction fees by approximately 2,040 satoshis, with the spending amount clearly exceeding the UTXO's own value. Based on this, the study's author believes the tool's builder may have a stronger understanding of account balance systems than of Bitcoin's UTXO model. Although the attacker appears to have obtained victims' full seeds, at least 75 BTC remain in other addresses derived from the same seeds. The biggest mystery at present is that 132.95 BTC still remain across the 153 compromised addresses, and researchers have been unable to reproduce the seeds behind these addresses, so they cannot rule out the possibility that the attacker obtained undisclosed private device data or candidate data.

Standard Chartered reports that Robinhood Chain is rapidly accumulating liquidity through Uniswap integration, with TVL approaching $1 billion, while driving UNI token annualized burn to $90 million.
Odaily News Robinhood's blockchain project, Robinhood Chain, has seen its total value locked (TVL) approach $1 billion.
