Storage channel prices move first, enterprise-level granules are brewing a price increase

Multiple storage industry insiders have revealed that some leading companies have verbally informed channel partners of their intention to raise prices for enterprise-grade chips. The official price increase notice has not yet been formally issued, but prices on the channel side have already begun to move, with several agents confirming the aforementioned price increase signals. One agent from SK Hynix stated that prices are increasing daily and observed that the second-hand recovery prices are continuously rising, driving overall quotes upward; the price adjustment path involves provincial agents adjusting prices weekly, with the prices of agency products being passed down further.One agent from Samsung indicated that this round of price increases is not a universal rise across all categories, but is mainly concentrated on the DRAM contract side and enterprise-grade SSDs at both the manufacturer and channel levels, rather than a comprehensive increase in consumer-grade NAND. This agent noted that the major demand still comes from data centers, while feedback from the grassroots level indicates that demand is generally average. Since the price increases are initially focused on the DRAM contract side and enterprise-grade SSD segment, when prices are transmitted from manufacturers outward, they first reach manufacturing companies and module manufacturers, rather than end consumers.

first_img Texas lawmakers submit a bill allowing cities and counties to invest up to 10 million dollars in Bitcoin

Texas State Representative Ron Reynolds submitted HB 815, a bill that allows each city and county in the state to invest up to 10 million dollars of public funds in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. The bill was submitted on the first day of the pre-filing period for the 90th Texas Legislature and will amend the Public Funds Investment Act by adding Section 2256.0165 "Authorized Investment: Cryptocurrency." If it becomes law, this authorization will take effect on September 1, 2027.The 10 million dollars is a cap for each city or county, not a statewide pooled fund, and school districts and other local governments subject to the investment law are not included. The bill adopts the definition of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency from last year's SB 21, which established the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, so cities or counties are not limited to Bitcoin. The bill does not introduce a requirement for the purchased tokens to have an average market value of at least 50 billion dollars over the past 24 months, nor does it include provisions for cold storage and qualified custodians, and it does not specify regulations for custody, digital asset audits, or loss handling.This bill is a narrowed version of last year's proposal. Reynolds previously submitted HB 4258 with Mihaela Plesa on March 10, 2025, allowing the state auditor to invest up to 250 million dollars from the Economic Stabilization Fund in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, and set the same 10 million dollar cap for cities and counties, but it did not become law. Texas's own reserve was established separately through SB 21, signed by Governor Greg Abbott in June 2025. The Texas State Auditor's Office purchased 5 million dollars of BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust on November 20, 2025, as a transition, and the second purchase brought the reserve's IBIT exposure to about 10 million dollars. The regular session of the 90th Legislature will convene on January 12, 2027, and the bill has not yet been submitted to committee.

first_img Robinhood has launched IPO Access in the UK, allowing retail investors to subscribe to new US stocks at the offering price

Robinhood announced the launch of its IPO Access service in the UK, allowing retail investors to submit purchase requests at the official offering price before new stocks officially trade on the US market. Users can submit applications through their regular investment accounts, with the app providing the prospectus and SEC documents for each available new stock for investors to review before deciding whether to subscribe. Robinhood stated that it is collaborating with a UK public offering platform provider to offer access to eligible initial public offerings.This service was first launched in the US in 2021, and Robinhood claims to have participated in over 50 IPOs since then, opening it up to millions of US customers. Jordan Sinclair, President of Robinhood UK, stated that bringing IPO Access to the UK aims to provide the same opportunities for UK retail investors to participate in investments in the next generation of innovative public companies.This launch is a continuation of Robinhood's expansion in the UK. Last year, the company acquired the exchange Bitstamp for $200 million and opened cryptocurrency trading to eligible UK customers through Bitstamp in August of this year, supporting the buying and selling of over 50 cryptocurrencies in its main UK investment app, alongside stocks, ISAs, options, and futures. In July of this year, Robinhood launched the Robinhood Chain mainnet and provided eligible users with 24/7 trading of tokenized stock products. Robinhood stated that there are no commissions for IPO subscriptions but cautioned that participating in IPO investments carries significant risks, with stock price volatility potentially being high, especially in the early stages of listing.

The 2026 U.S. midterm elections are being held today, with early voting results showing the Democratic Party in the lead

The 2026 U.S. midterm elections are being held today, with voters deciding the allocation of all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 seats in the Senate, which will shape the power dynamics of President Trump's remaining term.As of around 8 PM Eastern Time on November 3, early results have begun to emerge: approximately 10 Senate races have been called, with the Democrats holding 43 seats, the Republicans 32 seats, and the Democrats achieving a net gain of 1 seat; about 64 House races have been called, with the Democrats at 45 seats and the Republicans at 19 seats.Early voting and partial counts in Eastern states show strong Democratic performance, with the Democrats temporarily leading in some Republican-held seats in Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas, but polling places in the West are still open or counting, and results in many key swing states are not yet in, leaving overall control undetermined. The fierce election battle may take several days or even longer to reveal the final outcome.If the Republicans suffer losses in the 2026 midterm elections (especially if swept by the Democrats in both chambers), it would mean a significant limitation on Trump's legislative dominance for the remainder of his term, pushing him into a "lame duck" status sooner: the Democrats would gain committee investigative powers, initiating oversight and even impeachment attempts regarding the Iran conflict, government spending, and family business interests (including crypto-related projects), while a Senate flip would also hinder his personnel and judicial nominations.For the crypto market, this outcome is overall negative but not catastrophic. The Trump administration had previously pushed for frameworks like the GENIUS Act for stablecoins and appointed friendly regulators, but the key CLARITY Act (market structure bill) has failed in the Senate procedural vote. If the Democrats control Congress, it is likely that committees will be led by skeptical figures like Elizabeth Warren, leading to further delays or shelving of regulatory legislation, and increasing scrutiny of the industry and Trump-related crypto projects, which could exacerbate policy uncertainty and create price pressure in the short term.
