The Solana ecosystem meme coin free mika (MIKA) dropped on October 28. Its genesis address transferred approximately 500.44 million tokens to another wallet, accounting for about half of the initial supply; about 7 seconds later, that wallet sold approximately 500.83 million MIKA on PumpSwap, with the selling price temporarily dropping about 99% compared to before the sale.There are claims that the wallet nonce prevented the key holder from transferring funds, but this transfer used a normal recent blockhash, and it is currently unclear whether this sale was due to an external attack or from existing holders.

CryptoQuant analyst CoinNiel stated that as of October 27 (UTC), Bitcoin exchange outflows indicate an improvement in supply conditions, but the evidence still supports a neutral stance. The exchange shifted from a net inflow of 7,278 BTC on October 26 to a net outflow of 12,702 BTC on October 27, with net outflows of 4,633 BTC and 4,048 BTC over the past 7 days and 30 days, respectively, although there were inflows recorded on 4 days in the past week.The funding rate is +0.00762%, higher than the 7-day and 30-day averages, indicating a bullish tendency but not overheated; the open interest is $25.67 billion, up 0.56% over 7 days and 0.33% over 30 days. The LTH-SOPR decreased from 1.1657 to 1.0124, close to the breakeven point, but it cannot confirm a decrease in selling volume. CoinNiel stated that he maintains a neutral judgment until a sustained trend of net outflows from exchanges is formed; if net outflows continue and the funding rate and open interest remain stable, it will strengthen a bullish judgment. If net inflows reoccur and both increase significantly, a reassessment will be necessary. Recent net outflows have largely been driven by single-day movements, the funding rate remains positive, and open interest is growing moderately.

On October 28, storage chip manufacturer SK Hynix analyzed that software development, customer service, search, and several other fields have seen increased production efficiency and new revenue growth due to AI, driving a continuous increase in AI usage, which in turn expands infrastructure investment. A related virtuous cycle structure has already been established.SK Hynix stated that the main body of AI investment has moved beyond the initial stage of relying on a few companies and is now expanding to ordinary enterprises and national levels. It is expected that the global AI data center infrastructure market will continue to grow steadily in the future. In the short term, the storage market will be led by enterprise-level and consumer-level AI demand, while in the medium to long term, it will be driven by physical AI such as autonomous driving and robotics, with the market continuing to grow.On the supply side, SK Hynix pointed out that the difficulty of advanced process technology is continuously increasing, and the time required to build new production facilities is long. Supply has not kept pace with the growth rate of market demand, and it is expected that the supply-demand imbalance in the storage market will continue until 2030.

According to Santiment analysis, wallets holding at least 10 million XRP currently control 46.87 billion tokens, accounting for approximately 68.5% of the total XRP supply, which is the highest share for this group since November 2022. The key signal is that even as XRP struggles around $1.29, these large holders continue to increase their exposure, indicating that their confidence remains strong beneath the price movements. If retail investors continue to capitulate, it will create a more bullish pattern.Santiment believes that $1.30 is a recent pivot point, while $1.50 is a stronger confirmation level. If the price remains above $1.20 and the whale balances stay near record levels, the accumulation logic will remain intact; if it recovers to $1.50 and whale holdings further increase, it will significantly strengthen the case for a larger-scale recovery of XRP.

SK Hynix stated that the company's stock price is undervalued. The structural imbalance in chip supply and demand will continue in the short term. The AI revenue and cash flow of major customers will improve, and the investment burden of major customers in AI will be alleviated.

OSMO plans to destroy 100 million $OSMO from the community pool, accounting for approximately 12.6% of the circulating supply.

The shortage caused by the AI boom has extended from GPUs and memory to circuit boards. When planning their supply chains for 2027, HP and Dell found that even previously inconspicuous printed circuit boards could face shortages. In September this year, Amazon invested approximately 1.59 billion New Taiwan Dollars in Taiwanese circuit board manufacturer Gold Circuit Electronics, transitioning from customer to shareholder.AI servers require circuit boards with more layers and lower signal loss, and chip packaging substrates are becoming larger, driving up the demand for key materials such as specialty fiberglass cloth and copper-clad laminates. Suppliers prioritize fulfilling more profitable AI orders, squeezing ordinary servers, with some ordinary server circuit board delivery times approaching one year.It is difficult for the production capacity of key materials to keep up with demand in the short term. TrendForce estimates that Japan's Nitto Denko controls about 90% of the global T-glass specialty fiberglass cloth market, with new production capacity not expected to come online until mid-2027 at the earliest. The chairman of Taiwanese substrate manufacturer Unimicron Technology warned on October 20 that some key materials could be short by about 20% by 2027, with delivery times for some chip substrate production equipment extending to as long as 30 months.

Glassnode stated that recent investors buying BTC have exited the strong sell-off zone. Almost all short-term holders are in profit, and this proportion has now fallen to about 70%.For investors expecting the upward trend of BTC to continue, the current entry conditions have clearly improved compared to a month ago. The decrease in the profit ratio of short-term holders indicates that the pressure from profit-taking in the market has eased, but this does not mean that BTC will necessarily rise in the future.

The blockchain game project ArchLoot announced that it will permanently destroy 44,583,346 locked AL tokens, which come from the ECO Pool (30 million), Treasure Pool (approximately 10.417 million), and Reserve Pool (approximately 4.167 million). After the destruction, the related tokens will no longer be unlocked, distributed, or circulated.The official statement indicated that after the destruction is completed, the on-chain transaction hash will be published for community verification.

Strategy, Strive, and other Bitcoin treasury companies support the purchase of 135,979 Bitcoins through preferred stock financing, accounting for over 0.5% of the maximum Bitcoin supply; the related preferred stock market size is approximately $12 billion. Perpetual preferred stock has no fixed maturity date, which can alleviate refinancing pressure and attract income-oriented investors who are unwilling to hold Bitcoin directly; however, an increase in issuance size will also raise dividend expenses.Continuous financing for Bitcoin purchases relies on preferred stock trading at or near par value. If the price falls below par, the attractiveness of new issuances may decline, and the company may also turn to buybacks. CoinShares Research Director James Butterfill stated that Strategy's latest weekly report shows the company spent $193 million to repurchase STRC, while simultaneously buying 267 Bitcoins and increasing the preferred stock buyback authorization limit to $3 billion. Buybacks can reduce future dividend costs but may also compete for funds with Bitcoin purchases.Bitwise Research Director Ryan Rasmussen expects that ETFs will remain a larger source of Bitcoin demand in the long term, while perpetual preferred stock covers different groups of income-oriented investors, providing another source of demand support for the market. Butterfill believes that preferred stock may amplify market cycles: when financing conditions are favorable, it supports Bitcoin purchases, but when market sentiment weakens, this support may diminish.

According to the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated during a media interview at the GTC conference in Berlin on Thursday that the likelihood of a memory supply surplus by 2029 is low. He mentioned that one great aspect of memory is that there is always more that can be used, and he noted that HBM will continue to be applied in the coming years.Jensen Huang also stated that Nvidia is the first company in the world to introduce LPDDR memory, used in mobile phones, into data centers, which doubles its energy efficiency compared to any current global solution, thus it will continue to use this type of memory extensively. He mentioned last Thursday that customer demand for AI chip orders continues to exceed the company's supply capacity, with new orders pouring in almost weekly, if not daily.In the past week, storage chip stocks faced sell-offs due to market concerns over supply surplus and weak demand. A well-known media outlet in South Korea published a column last week, citing two experts who predicted that by 2029, there will be a significant increase in semiconductor supply, and the storage chip market may turn into a red ocean. On Thursday, the Nasdaq Composite Index closed down 2.6%, at 26008.86 points; SanDisk fell 8.51%, SK Hynix fell 8.07%, Seagate Technology fell 7.86%, Western Digital fell 6.43%, and Micron Technology fell 6.23%.
