According to TechFlow Research, an investor presentation released by Morgan Stanley on July 14, 2026, regarding NTT Global Data Centers shows that the global third-largest data center operator NTT surpassed the top two ranked Amazon and Microsoft through vertical integration. The order backlog reached $20 billion (equivalent to 7.7 years of revenue), with the order book absurdly full, reflecting that AI workload demand far exceeds supply. Gross margin is expected to rise from 39% in FY26 to 55% in FY31, indicating that AI customers are willing to pay a premium for high-quality capacity. NTT possesses 250 MW of liquid cooling technology globally and a complete fiber optic network, which is a vertical integration advantage that pure data center operators cannot replicate. Hyperscale customers would rather wait in line for NTT's AI-native infrastructure than turn to competitors. Among the global $6.7 trillion in data center investments, only one type truly makes money: AI-native, and NTT is monopolizing this sector.

Teams such as finance and investor relations are identifying their respective tasks and processes should the US listing move forward. This evaluation is considered a preliminary feasibility study and does not indicate that Samsung Electronics has decided to list or determined the timing and scale of the issuance.Samsung Electronics employees have also reportedly requested information on the preparation process and practical experience from SK Hynix, which recently issued ADRs and listed on the Nasdaq.

According to CoinDesk, crypto communications company Chainstory released a research report stating that among the top 1000 crypto projects ranked by CoinGecko, only 67 have Wikipedia entries, with well-known projects such as Hyperliquid and Sui not included. As AI tools like ChatGPT have 7.8% of their citation links pointing to Wikipedia (far higher than Reddit's 1.8% and Forbes's 1.1%), the lack of content on Wikipedia is having a substantial impact on AI's understanding of the crypto industry. The report also noted that Wikipedia lists crypto vertical media (including CoinDesk) as "generally unreliable" sources, while mainstream media, although recognized, rarely provide in-depth coverage of DeFi niches, further exacerbating the information gap. Chainstory concluded, "The crypto industry barely exists on Wikipedia."

According to the Financial Times, stablecoin issuer Circle banned crypto fund Heka Funds at the end of 2023. Court documents reveal that Circle accused Heka of leveraging large-scale arbitrage operations to buy discounted USDC and redeem cash from Circle during the 2023 Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) crisis, suspecting that the relevant funds ultimately flowed to Tether to help it expand its USDT market share. Arbitration documents disclosed that Tether had invested approximately $800 million in Heka, accounting for about 75% of the fund's assets, and waived its minting fees, but Heka did not disclose this support relationship to Circle. Heka previously filed for arbitration claiming approximately $49 million in lost profits due to the account ban, but the arbitrator rejected all its claims in February this year, determined that Heka engaged in bad faith conduct, and ordered it to pay Circle approximately $166,000 in attorney and expert fees. Heka denied engaging in market manipulation and stated it was not under regulatory investigation.
