Odaily reports: Blockchain security firm CertiK stated that although Google, Apple, and Microsoft have blocked 8 affected certificates issued by Indian digital certificate authority eMudhra, crypto trading bots and exchange applications may still be exposed to related vulnerability risks, as browser remediation measures may not cover software that uses independent security systems.Peiyu Wang, Senior Director of Digital Asset Security at CertiK, noted that attackers could exploit compromised certificates to impersonate exchanges, wallet interfaces, and APIs, replace deposit addresses, or trick users into approving malicious transactions. However, such attacks would also require intercepting or redirecting network traffic, and the compromised certificate authority keys alone cannot expose wallet private keys. Crypto service operators should update their software and certificate trust stores, and confirm that their applications reject the affected certificates. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily reports, according to monitoring by Bitcoin News, security researchers have discovered that versions 1.1 and 1.2 of FomoPeek, distributed through the Apple App Store, contain an iOS exploit framework capable of escaping the app sandbox, enabling the extraction of keychain data, wallet files, and mnemonic phrases. SlowMist has linked the app to multiple theft incidents and traced nearly $580,000 in stolen USDT flowing into a primary address. Users who have installed either of the aforementioned versions should treat any keys accessible on that iPhone as compromised, generate new mnemonic phrases on a clean device, and immediately transfer their funds.
According to monitoring by the PPP Prediction Market Tool, the probability on Polymarket that the "foldable iPhone's US launch price will exceed $2,300" has dropped to 15%, down 35% over the past week; the probability of it exceeding $2,200 has fallen to 42%, down 17% week-over-week.The event contract rules state: any foldable smartphone released by Apple will be considered a foldable iPhone, even if it is not explicitly named as such. If the price of the foldable iPhone at its initial US launch is greater than or equal to the specified amount, the market will resolve to "Yes"; otherwise, it will resolve to "No." If Apple releases multiple foldable iPhone models, the lowest announced starting price will be used. If Apple does not announce the price of the foldable iPhone by 11:59 PM ET on September 30, 2026, the market will resolve to "No."According to an official announcement from Apple, the fall 2026 new product launch event will be held at 1:00 AM Beijing time on September 10, themed "Surprise and shine."

Odaily News: Wintermute posted on X that the crypto market has rebounded over the past two weeks, with ETF inflows turning positive and stablecoin issuance stabilizing. However, to usher in a full new cycle, the market still needs new sources of capital. Historically, VC and ICO funding in 2017-2018, stablecoins in 2020-2021, and ETFs and digital asset treasury companies in 2024-2025 have all accelerated bull market cycles. RWA could become the next major liquidity channel. Data shows that stablecoin supply grew by over $120 billion within a single year; ETFs recorded cumulative net inflows of $63 billion, while digital asset treasury companies accumulated over $115 billion in holdings.In comparison, RWA attracted approximately $16 billion in capital over the past 12 months—only about one-tenth of the peak scale seen from ETFs and treasury companies in the previous cycle. However, the value of on-chain tokenized assets has roughly doubled within a year to over $30 billion, and this growth continued even during periods of stablecoin supply contraction.Wintermute believes that RWA capital initially flows into traditional assets such as Apple stock and U.S. Treasury funds, rather than directly into crypto assets. But once these funds enter the blockchain, the friction involved in rotating toward Bitcoin, altcoins, and DeFi is expected to decrease significantly. As the regulatory framework gradually becomes clearer and tokenized Treasuries and funds begin gaining acceptance as collateral on trading platforms and within DeFi, RWA could drive a market cycle that unfolds at a more moderate pace and lasts longer.
Odaily News: Citrini analyst jukan posted on X platform, stating that GF Securities Overseas Electronics Newsletter reiterated its Buy rating on Intel with a $136 price target, and believes this stock offering sends a positive signal. The report expects Intel's foundry business to break even in Q4 2027, with margin leverage effects fully reflected by 2028. Yield rates and external customer expansion—especially progress with Apple—are advancing steadily, and the EMIB customer base is also expanding, with customers including Google and AWS. Intel has secured support from substrate supplier Unimicron and will produce silicon capacitors internally. The report raised Intel's expected EPS for 2026 and 2027 by 3% and 1% respectively, maintaining the $136 price target after accounting for dilution effects. Intel expanded its stock offering from the initially planned $15 billion to $20 billion, with institutional demand reportedly exceeding $100 billion. The offering price was $95, and the overallotment option has been fully exercised. CEO Lip-Bu Tan and his family subscribed approximately $12 million at the offering price, which the report believes reflects management's confidence in the company and may support capital expenditure for fiscal year 2027. The report states that Intel reiterated its foundry business will achieve breakeven by the end of 2027; if delayed to 2028, the primary reason would be increased demand for additional investment. The report maintains its previous assessment, expecting 18A yield of approximately 80% in Q2 2026, with CWF already entering the capacity ramp-up phase. External customer collaboration continues to advance, with Apple's 14A high-volume manufacturing being particularly notable. The report raised Intel's back-end business revenue expectations for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 to $1.1 billion and $7 billion respectively, citing improved visibility into AWS Trainium3 adopting EMIB-T in 2027, as well as Google's Humufish and Triggerfish entering production expansion phases from H2 2027 to 2028. The report also expects that AWS and Microsoft ASIC products may adopt EMIB in 2028.

According to Korean media NATE, driven by the AI investment boom, SK Hynix's stock price has recently experienced severe volatility. Against the backdrop of intensifying market volatility, SK Group released an advertisement quoting the famous words of founder Choi Jong-geon (최종건): "Despair and hope are two sides of the same coin; despair can be turned into hope like flipping a hand," and rewrote it as "Anxiety and expectation in the AI era are also two sides of the same coin; anxiety can be turned into expectation," thereby conveying confidence in the long-term development of the AI industry. Securities firms believe that short-term stock price volatility has not changed SK Hynix's fundamentals, and the market should focus on its HBM4 technology leadership advantage and the performance stability brought by Long-Term Agreements (LTA). Hyundai Motor Securities analyst Noh Geun-chang (노근창) stated that SK Hynix's DRAM and NAND bit growth rates for the third quarter are expected to reach 9.7% and 1.5% respectively; with the expansion of HBM4 sales contribution, even if the proportion of Long-Term Agreements increases, DRAM Average Selling Price (ASP) is still expected to rise 19.9% quarter-over-quarter. Regarding competition concerns brought by China's ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), Noh Geun-chang believes that considering the US continues to strengthen semiconductor equipment export restrictions and Micron is expanding domestic investment in the US, the possibility of major companies like Apple adopting Chinese memory chips is relatively low.

According to TechFlow Research, on Monday (July 27), Apple rose over 1%, with its market cap reaching $4.94 trillion, surpassing Nvidia's $4.78 trillion to return to the top spot in global market cap. Over the past month, Apple outperformed the Nasdaq 100 Index by 23 percentage points, marking the largest single-month excess return since 2005. Goldman Sachs raised the target price from $330 to $370 on the same day, maintaining a Buy rating, citing increased confidence in the iPhone upgrade cycle and AI strategy. Apple will release its Q3 earnings report on Thursday, with the market expecting EPS to be $1.89. This market cap overtaking occurred against the backdrop of growing investor concerns over the ROI on huge AI capital expenditures, with Google's FCF turning negative and Nvidia facing sell-offs, while Apple became a safe haven instead due to restrained AI spending.
