Data from the Korea Trade Association shows that DRAM export volume decreased from approximately 681.7 million units in May to 591.74 million units in July, a decline of 13.2%.

Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform, stating that one of the simplest ways to explain cryptocurrency is: cryptocurrency offers faster, cheaper, and more efficient financial services. The traditional financial system was born around the 1970s and, in some cases, still operates on outdated mainframes to this day.This is also the reason why basic functions like weekend transfers or low-cost wire transfers are still not achievable. The United States needs to pass the Clarity Act to provide clear rules to guide the industry, rather than allowing outdated systems and uncertainty to prevail.

According to Bloomberg, the new regulations on cryptocurrency asset financing proposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this month aim to restart the ICO financing model. The proposal allows startups to raise up to $5 million within four years and large projects to raise up to $75 million annually without full SEC registration.However, the market environment has fundamentally changed: in January 2018, ICO financing reached $3 billion, but now VC token trading volumes have significantly declined, and speculative funds have shifted to perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and AI stocks. Dragonfly partner Tom Schmidt stated, "Having something is better than having nothing, but it would have been more useful if launched a few years ago." Pantera Capital partner Cosmo Jiang pointed out, "Previously, meme coins that were legal but had actual value were illegal, which is completely contrary to the way capitalism operates." Analysts believe, "The ICO of 2026 is not the ICO of 2018; the era when white papers and dreams could attract capital has ended."
