El Salvador 2027 General Election Opposition Candidate Emerges, Bukele's Bitcoin Strategy Faces Political Test
According to BeInCrypto, El Salvador's two major opposition parties have officially nominated candidates for the February 2027 presidential election: the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) nominated former legislator Maytee Iraheta, while the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) nominated doctor and union leader Rafael Aguirre. Both candidates clearly oppose Bukele's Bitcoin strategy, characterizing it as a fiscal failure. However, Bukele's approval rating remains as high as 94%, and his New Ideas party has also completed nominations, holding a clear advantage for re-election. It is worth noting that El Salvador revoked Bitcoin's legal tender status in February 2025 after reaching a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the IMF, restoring the US dollar as the sole official currency, but the government still maintains the plan to purchase approximately 1 Bitcoin per day, with holdings reaching approximately 7,730 BTC as of July 27.

This signifies that Jito will extend its reach from Solana's underlying infrastructure to consumer-facing products.Bruder believes that Solana has proven its ability to handle large-scale trading activity following the memecoin surge in 2024, attracting new users with its low costs and high speed. He also indicated that as Wall Street assets gradually move on-chain, Solana has the potential to become the entry point for more mainstream traders into the on-chain market.

Bernstein: Global Semiconductor Equipment WFE Grows 75% in Two Years, DRAM and Logic Chips Are the Biggest Drivers
According to TechFlow Research, Bernstein's August 11 research report significantly raised the global Wafer Front-End Equipment (WFE) spending forecast: from $141 billion to $148 billion for 2026, from $175 billion to $204 billion for 2027, and from $198 billion to $259 billion for 2028, representing a cumulative growth of 75% over the two years. DRAM WFE is expected to grow by 53% and 37% in 2027 and 2028 respectively, NAND by 58% and 42%, and logic chips and foundry by 20% and 19%. China's WFE demand will reach $57 billion, $57.3 billion, and $101 billion from 2026 to 2028 respectively, jumping to $101 billion in 2028, with comprehensive production expansion across all segments. In 2026, domestic equipment manufacturers are expected to achieve 41% year-over-year growth, with revenue reaching $16 billion; imports will recover in the second half of the year, creating a new full-year high of $41 billion. The report assesses that the incremental growth mainly comes from memory chips in global regions outside China, as well as China's foundry and logic chips. The recent pullback in the equipment sector provides an entry opportunity, as the market underestimates the demand intensity for 2027. ASML is the top pick for European semiconductor equipment, with an expected revenue CAGR of 34% from 2025 to 2028; Applied Materials price target raised from $525 to $675 (+29%), Lam Research up
