citing sources familiar with the matter, that a company backed by Chinese state capital has commenced mass production of domestically developed DUV (Deep Ultraviolet) lithography manufacturing equipment. This marks a significant step forward for China's semiconductor industry in advancing import substitution.According to reports, the company plans to produce approximately 5 DUV lithography machines in 2026 and expand output to around 20 units in 2027. While there remains a gap compared to the production capacity of Dutch lithography giant ASML (which delivered 131 immersion DUV lithography systems last year), the breakthrough in mass-producing domestic DUV equipment signals further progress towards self-sufficiency and independent control of China's chip manufacturing supply chain.Sources stated that this batch of domestically produced DUV lithography machines is scheduled for delivery to major Chinese chip manufacturers, including Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), Hua Hong Semiconductor, and memory chip producer ChangXin Memory Technologies.Among these, ChangXin Memory Technologies, as a representative enterprise in China's DRAM industry, is expected to become a key adopter of advanced domestically produced semiconductor manufacturing equipment. If the domestic DUV equipment can achieve stable operation on the production lines of manufacturers like ChangXin, it will further reduce China's memory chip industry's reliance on critical overseas equipment.

He noted that this is completely different from the approach of some KOLs, creators, and celebrities who sold tokens they received over the past three years.He revealed that he did not conduct any repurchases that day, but over the last three years, he has cumulatively bought back over 50% of the tokens. He is currently considering distributing some tokens in batches via airdrop to community members and related users who have provided long-term assistance.

According to Bitcoin.com, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is pushing hard for the CLARITY Act to complete Senate voting before Congress adjourns. Section 303 of the bill grants the Treasury Department the authority to impose targeted digital asset sanctions on foreign jurisdictions, while Section 305 allows exchanges to freeze suspicious transactions for up to 180 days. On-chain data shows that North Korea's Lazarus Group stole approximately $643 million in the first half of 2026, accounting for two-thirds of the total global crypto theft during the same period ($972 million), including a $285 million attack on Drift Protocol in April and a $292 million attack on the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge. The group's cumulative theft amount has reached $6.75 billion since 2019. Currently, Galaxy Research has lowered the probability of the CLARITY Act passing within 2026 to 30%. The bill still requires 60 votes to advance, meaning at least 7 Democratic senators need to vote across party lines in support.
