๐Ÿค– SK Hynix Chairman says company will triple wafer capacity by 2034

SK Hynix plans to triple wafer capacity by around 2034 to meet AI memory demand, Chairman Chey Tae-won said. The company is building four chip fabs in South Korea, with the first phase of one of them set to open next year.

โ€œSince we're proceeding with the plan to expand as much as possible, our calculations show that our wafer capacity will double within five years,โ€ โ€” Chey said.


Earlier this month, Chairman Chey said that the company would double wafer capacity, due to the persistent shortage of memory chips that could continue through 2030. Alongside Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix dominates the global memory-chip market and has been a major beneficiary of the AI-driven data center boom.

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฟ Tanzania scientists develop gene-drive mosquito technology in major malaria breakthrough

The innovative technology is designed to alter mosquito genetics in a way that prevents the development of malaria parasites within the insects. It operates through two primary mechanisms: the first reduces the population of malaria-carrying mosquitoes by affecting their reproductive capacity, while the second renders insects incapable of carrying or transmitting malaria parasites to humans.

Transmission Zero Project Director at the Ifakara Health Institute (IHI), Mr Dickson Lwetoijera, said Tanzania has already commenced preliminary trials of the technology in island environments to assess its effectiveness before considering wider deployment across the country.

๐Ÿค‘ BlackRock and XRP Linked? ๐Ÿค” Analyst Uncovers Surprising Connection

The BlackRock and XRP story has been circling crypto forums for a while now, but on-chain researcher SMQKE has put something a bit more concrete on the table.

๐Ÿ“‘ A documented link between the $14 trillion asset manager and Rippleโ€™s ecosystem is getting attention right now, and it runs through Wormhole, the blockchain interoperability protocol that powers BlackRockโ€™s tokenization work and, at the time of writing, also carries Rippleโ€™s RLUSD stablecoin across more than 40 different blockchains.

โžก๏ธ Wormhole Puts BlackRock And XRP On The Same Rails

Wormholeโ€™s dev team announced that Rippleโ€™s RLUSD stablecoin got added to the Native Token Transfers (NTT) standard,๐Ÿ”ฃmeaning RLUSD can now move natively across 40-plus chains and pair with roughly 100 digital assets. Wormhole is also the primary interoperability layer behind BlackRockโ€™s BUIDL fund operations.

โ—๏ธThe two ecosystems now share the same rails, and the BlackRock and XRP question keeps coming up precisely because the infrastructure keeps overlapping.

โ€œRemember, Wormhole facilitates direct interoperability for BlackRock and powers Securitizeโ€™s cross-chain capabilities which also utilizes RLUSD. Now, RLUSD is live on Wormhole. Another path of access for BlackRock to XRP. Documented,โ€ โ€” the analyst SMQKE stated.


โžก๏ธ BlackRockโ€™s BUIDL fund sits inside the same RWA platform ecosystem where RLUSD handles transactions. RLUSD functions there as both a redemption rail and an on-chain liquidity provider, and the odds of a BlackRock-owned fund regularly interacting with Rippleโ€™s stablecoin are, realistically, pretty high. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

This is also one of the reasons analysts keep returning to the BlackRock XRP connection: no formal announcement exists, yet the institutional plumbing keeps overlapping in ways that are now well-documented.

The BlackRock and XRP overlap here is really about infrastructure, the kind of compliant, enterprise-ready technical stack that Ripple built and that institutional operations now quietly build on top of. ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ’Š World-first: therapy to make cells young again trialled in a person

Life Biosciences, a Boston-based longevity company, just started the first FDA-approved human clinical trial to turn back time on old cells. The trial is arguably the biggest tangible step yet for the longevity industry, which has historically failed to deliver on many of its life-extending promises.

Scientists injected their ER-100 drug into the eye of a patient suffering from glaucoma, attempting to rejuvenate cells in the optic nerve and restore sight. This trial is still in its beginning stages. Life Biosciences is hoping to use this technology, known as cellular reprogramming, on other organs like the liver (and maybe someday the brain).

๐Ÿ”ฅ SEC's proposal to scrap key NMS rules a major unlock for tokenized US stocks

The SEC has proposed eliminating core trade-through protections within Regulation NMS (National Market System), which could lift major barriers for tokenized U.S. stock trading in DeFi.

โ—๏ธOn Thursday, the SEC announced proposed rescissions of Rules 611 and 610(e) of Regulation NMS, established in 2005, to promote the long-term growth of U.S. markets.

"This proposal is intended to simplify market structure and reduce costs for market participants while allowing competition, innovation, and other market forces to shape the continuing evolution of our equity markets," โ€” said SEC Chairman Paul Atkins.


โšช๏ธRule 611 prohibits the trade-through of NMS stocks, which means a trading center cannot execute a trade at a price inferior to a protected quotation โ€” the best displayed bid or offer โ€” available on another venue at the time of execution.
โšช๏ธRule 610(e) prohibits trading centers from displaying quotations that create locked or crossed quotations in NMS stocks.

The SEC has opened a 60-day public comment period on the proposal, which also includes related definitions in Regulation NMS.

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿค‘ Citigroup to Launch Tokenized Shares of Anthropic, OpenAI, Ripple

Wall Street giant Citigroup is launching tokenized shares of private companies, which would enable its institutional clients to trade shares of companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Ripple. This comes amid the SpaceX IPO buzz, with investors seeking exposure to the largest private companies before they go public.

โžก๏ธ According to a WSJ report, the bank is establishing a way for its wealthy and institutional clients to trade shares of private companies on a blockchain. The bank is also hoping that other banks across Wall Street will adopt this venture.

โ—๏ธAs part of the move to launch these tokenized shares, Citigroup is already discussing with some of the largest private companies.

This move comes amid a tokenization boom, with traditional financial (TradFi) giants moving to bring traditional assets on-chain. Notably, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is already working on a 24/7 trading platform for tokenized securities.

How This Venture Will Work โ“

โžก๏ธ According to the report, Citigroupโ€™s offering of tokenized shares of private companies will work through depositary receipts. These are securities that banks issue to represent shares in foreign companies. The bank will issue these receipts and act as their custodian.

This marks the latest way to gain exposure to private companies ahead of any potential IPO. ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ”ต Chinese cybercrime operation that used AI to scam โ€˜hundreds of thousands of victimsโ€™ sued by Google

On Friday, the tech giant announced a lawsuit against an alleged Chinese cybercrime network called Outsider Enterprise, which Google says uses AI in its campaigns to send scam text messages impersonating Google and other brands to steal passwords and credit card numbers.

Outsider Enterprise has financially scammed โ€œhundreds of thousands of victimsโ€ with losses โ€œestimated in the millions.โ€ The group deployed 9,000 fake websites, one million fraudulent web domains, and 2.5 million texts sent to Android users in a two-week period, according to Google.

The company said, โ€œ55,000 spam texts were flagged by Android users in just two weeks this past May โ€” thatโ€™s more than two text spam complaints a minute.โ€
