Goldman Sachs: SK Hynix's 40 trillion won buyback is just the beginning, expects another 70 trillion won on the way
According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs pointed out in its August 19 research report that SK Hynix announced after hours a 40 trillion won (approximately 28.3 billion USD) stock buyback and cancellation plan, equivalent to canceling approximately 3.3% of issued shares; the buyback will start on August 20 and be executed within three months. Goldman Sachs maintained its Buy rating and target price of 3.5 million won, representing 133% upside compared to the current 1.5 million won. Goldman Sachs estimates cumulative free cash flow from 2025 to 2027 will be approximately 252 trillion won; based on a shareholder return ratio of approximately 55%, this would ultimately return approximately 140 trillion won to shareholders, and after deducting this 40 trillion won buyback and approximately 30 trillion won in dividends, there is still approximately 70 trillion won of additional buyback capacity. The research report indicates that the company hinted this is not a one-off event, and more follow-up buyback and dividend plans will be announced at the Q3 earnings conference at the end of October. This buyback can cancel approximately 24 million shares, far exceeding the 17.7 million share dilution effect brought by the recent ADR listing. Goldman Sachs raised its expected shareholder return rates for 2026 and 2027 to 3.5% and 8%, respectively, and raised its earnings per share forecasts for 2026 to 2028 by 4%, 10%, and 10%, respectively. The current stock price corresponds to a P/E ratio of approximately 3.8 times for 2026 and approximately 3.0 times for 2027; Goldman Sachs believes the valuation is still at the lower end of the historical range.

Returns nearly sixfold again: Unitree Robotics angel investor Yin Fangming's Junwan Hongyi stake once reached 12.292 billion yuan, with current paper gains of 9.876 billion yuan; Yin Fangming's personal book return hit 819 times
Odaily News: It is understood that Unitree Robotics angel investor Yin Fangming invested 2 million yuan in August 2016 for a 15% stake in the company, at a post-investment valuation of only 13 million yuan. After subsequent rounds of financing dilution, as of before the IPO, Junwan Hongyi, controlled by Yin Fangming, held 11.1749 million shares, representing approximately 2.76% of the company, making it the tenth-largest shareholder of Unitree Robotics. Based on the issuance market value of 61 billion yuan, the stake was valued at approximately 1.685 billion yuan; currently, Yin Fangming still holds approximately 16.62% of Junwan Hongyi.As Unitree Robotics debuted on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (STAR Market) today and its stock price briefly surged past 1,100 yuan, the market value of Junwan Hongyi's stake once climbed to 12.292 billion yuan. At present, Unitree's stock price is tentatively reported at 884 yuan, with Junwan Hongyi's stake still valued at as much as 9.878 billion yuan, representing paper gains of 9.876 billion yuan, a gain multiple of up to 4,938 times. Compared with the 840-fold return based on issuance market value, the gains have nearly sextupled. The look-through market value corresponding to Yin Fangming's remaining personal interest is approximately 1.638 billion yuan. Counting only this portion of equity and the 1.3106 million yuan in equity transfer income disclosed in 2018, Yin Fangming's book return on his 2 million yuan angel investment has exceeded 819 times.
Morgan Stanley: Internet Sector Valuation Discount 7%-14%, But AI ROIC Debate Unresolved, Buying Consensus Not Yet Formed
According to TechFlow Research, Morgan Stanley's August 18 Internet Weekly Report pointed out that the internet sector overall fell 1% last week, with Amazon and Google leading the decline with drops of 4% and 2% respectively. The current valuations of Amazon, Google, and Meta are 20x, 17x, and 19x 2026 earnings per share respectively, representing a discount of 7% to 14% compared to their respective five-year averages. The internet sector's overall NTM EV/EBITDA is at a 7% discount to the five-year average, but NTM EV/Sales remains at a 19% premium. If stock-based compensation (SBC) is treated as a cash expense, the median EV/EBITDA for the digital media, e-commerce, and travel sectors will increase by approximately 36%, 30%, and 44% respectively. The report judges that the AI ROIC debate remains the core focus of the market. There is not yet a consensus to buy at current low valuation levels, as the market has fundamental disagreements on the return on AI capital expenditure. If AI spending continues to erode profit margins, valuations may compress further; conversely, if market confidence in ROIC recovers, valuations are expected to recover. Morgan Stanley believes the internet sector is likely to remain range-bound until the AI return on investment debate shows a clearer direction.
SEC Proposes Allowing Crypto Projects to Raise Up to $75 Million Annually Without Full Securities Registration
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday proposed new rules that would allow crypto projects to raise funds without full securities registration. The proposed "crypto asset regulation" includes two exemptions: projects raising no more than $5 million over a 4-year period, and issuers raising no more than $75 million every 12 months, subject to filing financial statements and ongoing reports. Both exemptions require information disclosure and remain subject to federal anti-fraud and anti-manipulation rules. The proposal also includes a conditional safe harbor, allowing issuers to "decouple" crypto assets from the investment contracts under which they were issued, provided SEC conditions are met. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce stated that the exemptions will not cover all types of crypto projects, and the Commission will refine the rules based on market developments. The SEC canceled a related meeting last week citing "unforeseen scheduling issues," and resumed advancing the proposal days later. (Decrypt)
Existing mnemonics cannot be fixed through updates; Coldcard reminds affected users to regenerate mnemonics and migrate assets
Coldcard has released the latest firmware 5.6.1 (Mk4/Mk5) and 1.5.1Q (Q). This update is based on a three-week security review following the emergency fix on July 31, addressing security risks brought by the previous mnemonic generation attack. Each newly generated mnemonic must now include at least one source of user entropy, including at least 65 irregular keystrokes, 50 physical dice throws, or 128 physical coin flips, combined with fresh entropy provided by STM32 TRNG, SE1, and SE2. The new firmware also adds instant staged PSBT verification before signing, strengthens USB connection and firmware update boundaries, improves Delta Mode isolation mechanisms, fixes active wallet backup issues, enhances random number generator initialization and fault checking, adjusts SIGHASH default settings, and includes multiple security and correctness improvements. Coldcard stated that this update aims to further reduce the risk of device attacks. The official reminder notes that updating the firmware cannot fix existing mnemonics generated by previously affected firmware. If users' mnemonics fall within the scope of this security advisory, they should first update the device, then generate and verify a completely new mnemonic, and migrate funds to the new wallet. Coldcard recommends that all Mk4, Mk5, and Q users update their devices promptly and verify the signature of the downloaded firmware.

Analysis: Bitcoin Triggers 8 of 12 Capitulation Indicators, but Historical Data Has Yet to Confirm a Bottom
Odaily News Cryptocurrency asset management firm VanEck's latest report shows that Bitcoin is currently emitting "capitulation signals" similar to those seen in late-stage historical bear markets, but the data suggests the market bottom has not yet been fully confirmed.VanEck stated that of the 12 Bitcoin market capitulation indicators currently tracked, 8 have entered extreme territory, and all 12 indicators have reached trigger levels at some point over the past three months. These indicators primarily measure market stress factors such as Bitcoin price drawdowns, miner profitability, and the proportion of holders in loss.However, historical performance does not indicate that these signals mean a short-term bottom has already formed. VanEck data shows that when 8 to 12 indicators have historically triggered simultaneously, Bitcoin's average return over the next 90 days is approximately 12.8%, and the average return over 180 days is approximately 32% — both below Bitcoin's long-term averages (15.2% over 90 days and 36.3% over 180 days). These signals only show a relative advantage over a one-year cycle.Bitcoin is currently down approximately 49% from its all-time high in October 2025, with prices recently consolidating in the $62,300 to $66,500 range. The 30-day realized volatility has dropped to 27.2%, well below the long-term average of approximately 80%. Miner stress remains a significant risk factor for the current market, with Bitcoin's daily network revenue down approximately 46% year-over-year and mining difficulty down 18.3% from its November 2025 peak — one of the largest declines since China's mining ban in 2021, with some inefficient mining rigs having exited the market.VanEck believes that current capitulation indicators are better suited as a tool for assessing market cycle positioning rather than as short-term bottom-fishing signals. Investors positioning based on these indicators should focus on cycles longer than one year, rather than expecting a strong rebound to materialize within the next few months. (CoinDesk)
Nansen: Q2 Starknet daily average transaction volume ~239,000, with STRK20 and strkBTC driving ecosystem upgrades
Odaily News: Blockchain data analytics platform Nansen released its "Starknet H1 2026 Report," stating that in the first half of 2026, Starknet completed its strategic transformation from a high-performance Layer 2 network to a "privacy-preserving execution layer." The launch of the STRK20 privacy framework and the Bitcoin asset strkBTC became the ecosystem's most significant upgrades.The report notes that as an Ethereum-based ZK-Rollup network, Starknet generates STARK proofs off-chain and verifies them on-chain, achieving high throughput and low transaction costs. Its smart contracts use the Cairo language, specifically designed for verifiable computation, and support native account abstraction functionality.In the first half of this year, Starknet launched the v0.14.2 upgrade, introducing the SNIP-36 protocol to lay the technical foundation for private transactions. This upgrade allows the network to directly verify off-chain execution proofs, enabling confidential state transitions without exposing account balances or counterparty information. Additionally, SNIP-37 adjusted the network's economic model, increasing storage costs while lowering base gas fees to optimize incentives for long-term state growth.In terms of privacy applications, Starknet launched the STRK20 privacy framework, which allows users to convert any ERC-20 asset into encrypted balances and conduct private transfers, trades, and DeFi interactions. The system is built on zero-knowledge proof technology and implements compliant auditing through an encrypted viewing key mechanism, protecting user privacy while supporting targeted information disclosure in regulatory scenarios.On-chain data shows that in Q2 2026, Starknet recorded an average daily transaction volume of approximately 239,000 and an average of about 50,000 daily active addresses. During the period, a total of 22.5 million transactions were completed, involving approximately 71,000 users. Among these, DEX aggregator AVNU contributed roughly 14 million transactions, accounting for 62.2% of total volume; gaming infrastructure Cartridge contributed 6.57 million transactions, with the two combined accounting for approximately 91% of transaction activity.

Musk and Buffett's Century-Old Reconciliation? Berkshire Hathaway Indirectly Holds 0.04% of SpaceX Stock Through Google Parent Alphabet
Odaily News According to foreign media BusinessInsider, based on publicly disclosed holdings data, "Oracle of Omaha" Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway indirectly holds approximately 0.04% of SpaceX shares through a two-tier equity nesting "look-through shareholding" model, with a corresponding market value exceeding $700 million. This also creates a rare capital intersection between two top business tycoons, "the Oracle of Omaha" Buffett and "Iron Man" Musk.Musk has long regarded Buffett's investment endorsement as an important industry validation, and has repeatedly publicly extended olive branches to Buffett on social platforms, hoping he would become a shareholder in his companies. Musk joked in a 2023 post: "Too bad he didn't invest when Tesla's market cap was only 0.1% of its current value." In 2024, he publicly stated again: "He should build a position in Tesla; that's the obvious choice." Now, although Buffett has not invested in Tesla, he has become an "invisible shareholder" of SpaceX in another way.In terms of the shareholding structure, this stake is not a direct investment by Berkshire in SpaceX, but rather an incidental asset from its heavy position in tech giant Google's parent company Alphabet.

Analyst: US-made semiconductors will command a premium, Korean memory makers need to accelerate US fab construction
Citrini analyst Jukan stated on X platform that in the future, "Made in USA" semiconductor products may gain market premiums due to supply chain stability advantages. Korean memory chip companies need to respond to this trend by building wafer fabs in the US. Currently, US-made optical module products have already begun to reflect premiums. For example, optical communications company AAOI has stated that optical modules produced in the US can command higher prices. Meanwhile, US hyperscalers are also willing to pay additional premiums for US-made Micron DRAM.Jukan believes that the price advantage of US-made chips does not come solely from the products themselves, but reflects the value of supply chain stability and supply assurance. Against the backdrop of ongoing adjustments in the global semiconductor supply chain, companies and customers are increasingly valuing localized production capacity to reduce geopolitical and supply disruption risks.Regarding Korean memory manufacturers, Korean companies need to actively advance the construction of US-based production capacity, a trend that has already begun to emerge. For example, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won has previously discussed plans to build a memory chip front-end wafer fab in the US on multiple occasions.As AI infrastructure construction drives growth in memory demand, and regionalization trends in the global supply chain continue, US-made semiconductors may form a new pricing system. Chip companies with US-based production capacity will gain additional advantages in future market competition.
A bitcoin wallet from 2012, dormant for 14 years, has moved 212 BTC worth $13.72 million
Odaily News: A bitcoin wallet created in 2012 has moved 212 BTC after remaining dormant for 14 years, valued at $13.72 million based on the price at the time of transfer. The wallet address was created on August 10, 2012. These bitcoins were originally worth $2,346, with a per-coin price of $11.07; at the article's quoted price of $64,761, if sold in full, the holder would realize a gain of 584,725%. The wallet owner's identity remains unknown. The 212 BTC has been transferred from a legacy P2PKH wallet to an unlabeled Bech32 wallet, arriving in multiple batches before being consolidated.

Analysis: U.S. Stocks Could Set a 30-Year Record in 2026, No Widespread Selling Signals Yet
The Kobeissi Letter stated on X platform that the U.S. stock market has demonstrated unprecedented resilience in 2026, and this year is on track to become the first full year in at least 30 years without a single day of "80%+ NYSE downside volume" on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).The so-called "80%+ downside-volume days" refers to days when at least 80% of NYSE trading volume comes from declining stocks, typically viewed as a key signal of broad selling pressure in the market.Data shows that during the 2008 global financial crisis, the NYSE recorded 49 such trading days; during the 2022 bear market, there were 33; and in 2025, there were 9. Since 1997, this metric has averaged approximately 21 occurrences per year, and no full year has ever fallen below 5.The Kobeissi Letter noted that as of now, 2026 has seen almost no broad-based selling pressure, indicating that investor sell-off activity remains relatively limited and market structure is showing strong support. While the current U.S. stock market exhibits "unprecedented resilience," this phenomenon also implies that market risks may become more concentrated in potential future liquidity shifts or unexpected events.

Sui Co-Founder Leases Factory to Mass-Produce Quantum-Safe Hardware Wallet Cards, Targeting Key Cost Below $10 Per Card
Odaily News: Kostas Chalkias, co-founder and chief cryptographer of Mysten Labs, the development company behind the Sui blockchain, stated that he has leased a dedicated factory at a secret location and plans to scale up production of quantum-safe hardware wallet cards for Sui. The project aims to keep the cost of a single quantum card key under $10, with NFC quantum signing expected to take 1 to 2 seconds. Chalkias noted that the project is being advanced in his personal time outside of work and may include funding to provide cards for users who cannot afford them. The initiative is partly driven by a recent incident involving Coldcard hardware wallets, though the vulnerability was not a quantum attack. Coldcard manufacturer Coinkite disclosed that a firmware vulnerability in Coldcard, traceable to a 2021 update, bypassed the hardware random number chip and generated keys using a predictable software process linked to device serial numbers. Attackers have been moving funds since July 30, with losses climbing to approximately 2,055 BTC, affecting over 7,700 addresses and nearing a value of $130 million. At the protocol level, Sui plans to integrate two quantum-resistant signature schemes approved by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), designed for everyday accounts and high-value Move vaults, respectively. Existing accounts can be rotated to quantum-safe keys based on their original recovery phrases, without needing to migrate to new wallets. (Bitcoin.com News)

Gnosis Chain will become the first deployed EEZ instance, retaining its existing applications, balances, and xDAI fuel token. (Cointelegraph)
HSBC: Starlink Users Surpass 12 Million as Space Race Boosts Earth-Based Industries in Three Ways
According to Trend Research, an HSBC report released on August 18 spanning 12 industries points out that SpaceX's Starlink has crossed the inflection point for scale. As of June 30, it operates 10,200 satellites in orbit and serves 12 million broadband subscribers across 167 markets. Additionally, 7.4 million monthly active devices connect directly to mobile phones via satellite (Direct to Cell), covering 30 countries. Maersk has installed Starlink on more than 330 container ships, while United Airlines plans to upgrade 15 Boeing 737-800 aircraft per month. Starship aims to reduce launch costs to $100–$300 per kilogram, representing a decline of over 95% compared to historical averages. HSBC assesses that the space race is now benefiting terrestrial industries across three dimensions: From a communications standpoint, Starlink and ground-based telecom operators are predominantly complementary, filling coverage gaps in oceanic, desert, and post-disaster environments. Regarding compute infrastructure, orbital data centers currently cost three times as much as ground-based equivalents, acting mainly as strategic reserves; however, if TeraFab’s vertically integrated wafer fabs succeed, they could revolutionize the division of labor in the semiconductor industry. At the energy level, AI data centers have pushed the annual growth rate of U.S. power demand to 4%-5%, making renewable energy and the electrical grid the largest beneficiaries.

Hyperliquid Expected to Unlock $589 Million Worth of HYPE on September 6
Odaily News: Hyperliquid ecosystem project team HyperLabs has unlocked 433,025 HYPE, worth approximately $23.46 million, and has been continuously depositing tokens into trading platforms, including Flowdesk and OKX. Tracking data shows that an additional 9.92 million HYPE is expected to be unlocked on September 6, worth approximately $589 million based on a price of $59.39. The Hyper Foundation publishes the claim amounts around the 6th of each month. In March, only 173,217 HYPE were actually claimed, lower than the planned 99,200 tokens. Tokenomist data shows that the aid fund has repurchased 11.9 million HYPE from the unlock schedule, accounting for approximately 14%. The repurchased tokens will be burned, reducing the current total supply to 955.3 million HYPE. Certified Public Accountant Dat Ngo stated that tax liabilities typically arise upon token vesting, and some holders may sell tokens to cover taxes. TMGM CPA Ashley Akin stated that if the market is not overly leveraged, the $581 million unlock can still be absorbed, but combined with margin requirements, it would increase trading difficulty. On-chain perpetual contract trading platform Hyperliquid does not restrict users from trading during certain news events. Market data shows that liquidation volume has dropped 71%, trading volume has fallen 50%, and open interest continues to decline. Bitcoin remains below $65,000, and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes will be released ahead of the Federal Reserve's September 15-16 meeting. (Forbes Digital Assets)

Existing mnemonics cannot be fixed through updates; Coldcard reminds affected users to regenerate mnemonics and migrate assets
Coldcard has released the latest firmware 5.6.1 (Mk4/Mk5) and 1.5.1Q (Q). This update is based on a three-week security review following the emergency fix on July 31, addressing security risks brought by the previous mnemonic generation attack. Each newly generated mnemonic must now include at least one source of user entropy, including at least 65 irregular keystrokes, 50 physical dice throws, or 128 physical coin flips, combined with fresh entropy provided by STM32 TRNG, SE1, and SE2. The new firmware also adds instant staged PSBT verification before signing, strengthens USB connection and firmware update boundaries, improves Delta Mode isolation mechanisms, fixes active wallet backup issues, enhances random number generator initialization and fault checking, adjusts SIGHASH default settings, and includes multiple security and correctness improvements. Coldcard stated that this update aims to further reduce the risk of device attacks. The official reminder notes that updating the firmware cannot fix existing mnemonics generated by previously affected firmware. If users' mnemonics fall within the scope of this security advisory, they should first update the device, then generate and verify a completely new mnemonic, and migrate funds to the new wallet. Coldcard recommends that all Mk4, Mk5, and Q users update their devices promptly and verify the signature of the downloaded firmware.

Musk and Buffett's Century-Old Reconciliation? Berkshire Hathaway Indirectly Holds 0.04% of SpaceX Stock Through Google Parent Alphabet
Odaily News According to foreign media BusinessInsider, based on publicly disclosed holdings data, "Oracle of Omaha" Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway indirectly holds approximately 0.04% of SpaceX shares through a two-tier equity nesting "look-through shareholding" model, with a corresponding market value exceeding $700 million. This also creates a rare capital intersection between two top business tycoons, "the Oracle of Omaha" Buffett and "Iron Man" Musk.Musk has long regarded Buffett's investment endorsement as an important industry validation, and has repeatedly publicly extended olive branches to Buffett on social platforms, hoping he would become a shareholder in his companies. Musk joked in a 2023 post: "Too bad he didn't invest when Tesla's market cap was only 0.1% of its current value." In 2024, he publicly stated again: "He should build a position in Tesla; that's the obvious choice." Now, although Buffett has not invested in Tesla, he has become an "invisible shareholder" of SpaceX in another way.In terms of the shareholding structure, this stake is not a direct investment by Berkshire in SpaceX, but rather an incidental asset from its heavy position in tech giant Google's parent company Alphabet.

Gnosis Chain Approved by GnosisDAO to Transition into EEZ Rollup, Becoming First Production-Grade Instance
Odaily News: GnosisDAO has approved the transition of the blockchain network Gnosis Chain from a standalone Layer 1 network to a zero-knowledge proof-based Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) Rollup. The network will eliminate its independent validator set and instead rely on Ethereum validators to settle transactions.The proposal received 123,158 GNO in favor, 115 against, and 151 abstentions, involving 54 participants with a total participation of 123,425 GNO, exceeding the quorum threshold of 75,000 GNO. The upgrade is initially planned to launch in late 2026 or early 2027, depending on the technical readiness of the EEZ.After the upgrade, Gnosis Chain's native smart contracts will be able to call Ethereum and use the returned results within the same transaction, while also accessing Ethereum mainnet assets and liquidity. Gnosis Chain will become the first deployed EEZ instance, retaining its existing applications, balances, and xDAI fuel token. (Cointelegraph)
HSBC: Starlink Users Surpass 12 Million as Space Race Boosts Earth-Based Industries in Three Ways
According to Trend Research, an HSBC report released on August 18 spanning 12 industries points out that SpaceX's Starlink has crossed the inflection point for scale. As of June 30, it operates 10,200 satellites in orbit and serves 12 million broadband subscribers across 167 markets. Additionally, 7.4 million monthly active devices connect directly to mobile phones via satellite (Direct to Cell), covering 30 countries. Maersk has installed Starlink on more than 330 container ships, while United Airlines plans to upgrade 15 Boeing 737-800 aircraft per month. Starship aims to reduce launch costs to $100–$300 per kilogram, representing a decline of over 95% compared to historical averages. HSBC assesses that the space race is now benefiting terrestrial industries across three dimensions: From a communications standpoint, Starlink and ground-based telecom operators are predominantly complementary, filling coverage gaps in oceanic, desert, and post-disaster environments. Regarding compute infrastructure, orbital data centers currently cost three times as much as ground-based equivalents, acting mainly as strategic reserves; however, if TeraFab’s vertically integrated wafer fabs succeed, they could revolutionize the division of labor in the semiconductor industry. At the energy level, AI data centers have pushed the annual growth rate of U.S. power demand to 4%-5%, making renewable energy and the electrical grid the largest beneficiaries.
