CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler pointed out in a weekly report analysis that the US 10-year Treasury yield has recently risen to approximately 4.7%, approaching the upper limit of the range over the past five years. The high-interest rate environment is tightening financial conditions, raising financing costs and asset discount rates, and increasing pressure on risk assets.
Citrini analyst Jukan, citing Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore, stated on X that the memory shortage in the data center sector is continuing to deteriorate, with no signs of easing market supply pressure, and the tightness of memory supply remains higher than expected. Currently, compared to the projected levels for the second quarter of 2026, prices for memory products with the same specifications have already risen by at least 25% in the third quarter, exceeding previous forecasts by Morgan Stanley and third-party institutions.The tight memory supply situation could further intensify in 2027 and 2028. Current available memory resources in the market cannot meet the rapidly growing demands of the artificial intelligence industry, and this situation is unlikely to change in the short term. AI is consuming a large amount of DRAM production capacity, reducing the memory resources available for other industries, and the production of consumer electronics such as PCs and smartphones has already been affected.AI is consuming a large amount of DRAM production capacity, reducing the memory resources available for other industries, and the production of consumer electronics such as PCs and smartphones has already been affected. The demand from AI is not only impacted by the memory shortage; memory itself is gradually becoming one of the key bottlenecks limiting AI development, on par with data center space and power supply. Additionally, some cloud computing customers are paying higher-than-expected prices to secure memory products delivered six weeks early. The market believes that as AI server construction continues to expand, pressure on the supply chains for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and DRAM may persist further.

Citrini analyst Jukan stated in a post that, according to the latest channel research, the global DRAM market average selling price (ASP) for the third quarter is expected to rise 21% quarter-over-quarter. This expectation is higher than TrendForce's previous forecast of a 13% to 18% increase in traditional DRAM prices and an overall increase of 8% to 13% including HBM.
Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas posted on platform X stating that the S&P 500 Index is currently at historical highs, while Money Market Fund (MMF) assets have also hit record highs. This structure of "both stock market and cash at highs" forms a sharp contrast, but for bulls, it means there is still a large amount of "dry powder" yet to enter the market.
Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated in a post on platform X that FTSE Russell has announced the preliminary list of index additions and deletions, and BitMine Immersion Technologies (ticker: BMNR) has been included in the list of companies under consideration for inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000 Index.Tom Lee noted that Bitmine's current market capitalization has already exceeded the $5.7 billion threshold for inclusion in the Russell 1000 large-cap index. Since many active fund managers only invest in Russell 1000 components, if BMNR is officially added to the index, it could attract more institutional capital attention.Additionally, the market generally expects that approximately 20% to 25% of a stock's market capitalization is typically held by passive index funds and ETFs, meaning that eligibility for the Russell 1000 may further increase expectations for related passive capital inflows.
