According to TechFlow Research, Morgan Stanley's latest research report in August indicates that the Q3 DRAM contract price quarter-over-quarter increase has fallen from an expected 20% to 15%, memory module inventory has risen to 12.5 weeks, and signs of weakness have emerged in China's consumer electronics demand. However, Morgan Stanley believes this is merely a normal cyclical slowdown, not a trend reversal. The capex growth rate of the four major cloud vendors was adjusted up from 14% to 29%, and AI demand remains strong. Samsung aims to place 60% to 70% of its capacity under long-term agreements, SK Hynix has completed LTA negotiations with approximately 10 clients, and Micron's 16 agreements cover approximately $100 billion in minimum revenue. Morgan Stanley maintains an overweight rating on Samsung and SK Hynix, with target prices of 381,000 won and 2.6 million won respectively, implying 74% to 84% upside potential. Samsung's current stock price corresponds to an expected P/E ratio of about 5x for 2026, while SK Hynix is about 5.8x. Morgan Stanley believes LTAs are changing industry earnings visibility; the market has not yet assigned a premium to LTA-supported earnings. If LTAs verify downside protection, the memory valuation system may be reshaped.

Odaily News - The Korea Digital Convergence Industry Association has released the "Expected Revisions to Sub-regulations of the Tokenized Securities System and Detailed Guidelines" document, which primarily clarifies the scope of "pooling" for similar underlying assets, OTC trading limits for retail investors, access conditions for OTC exchanges handling non-standardized securities, the roadmap for tokenization of standardized securities (STO), and requirements for issuer account management institutions.The document mentions that separate annual limits are expected to be set for retail investors trading tokenized securities over-the-counter. In addition, licensing standards for OTC trading venues will be established, along with the inclusion of multiple asset valuation standards and profit distribution methods.It is reported that the detailed regulatory rules will still need to go through legislative, public notice, and regulatory review procedures before being finalized. The new regulations are expected to promote the gradual expansion of tokenization from non-standardized securities such as investment contract securities and income-bearing securities to standardized securities including stocks and bonds, while further improving investor protection and market infrastructure development.

Odaily News – The ethics provision of the CLARITY Act, proposed by U.S. Senators Thom Tillis and Ruben Gallego, would require Trump to divest his crypto-related business assets, an arrangement that could allow Trump to defer federal taxes on gains from those assets for years, potentially saving millions of dollars. This provision has become one of the key factors driving the passage of the CLARITY Act, the first comprehensive crypto regulatory bill in the U.S., through the Senate. The latest version also permits state attorneys general to enforce the rules, whereas the previous version only granted enforcement authority to the Department of Justice.As of Thursday afternoon, Senate Majority Leader John Thune had not yet filed a cloture motion, a necessary step before a formal vote. (The Block)
Odaily News: Brian Armstrong posted on X platform, stating that the Senate obtained CLARITY a year ago. Since then, lawmakers have negotiated over hundreds of pages of amendments, reached agreement on SEC and CFTC nominations, and secured unprecedented ethical commitments. The crypto industry and the banking sector have also made compromises. This is exactly how legislation should work. No one gets everything they want. Everyone gets most of what they need. The only remaining issue now is not negotiation, but whether certain groups will attempt to delay or block legislation that has already gained broad bipartisan support. Millions of Americans hold cryptocurrency and are watching closely. It is time to vote.

Odaily News: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has issued a formal order upholding the conviction and sentencing of former FTX CEO Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried. The lower court previously found him guilty on seven felony counts and sentenced him to 25 years in federal prison. The three-judge panel rejected Bankman-Fried's appeal arguments that FTX had sufficient liquidity and that investors would be fully repaid without incurring losses, and upheld the $11 billion forfeiture order issued by the New York court in the criminal case. Circuit Judge Barrington D. Parker stated in the opinion that even if Bankman-Fried believed he would ultimately repay customers, it does not affect the applicability of wire fraud laws to the temporary misappropriation of funds or property. With the order now in effect, his legal avenues for seeking early release have narrowed, including options such as applying for a presidential pardon or appealing to the Supreme Court.
