Micron's CEO once again subtly criticized Apple: Low-price procurement is the key cause of the memory shortage.
Micron Technology's CEO recently stated that in recent years, some customers have demanded lower prices from memory manufacturers, leading to some negative consequences. In 2023, Micron's prices dropped to one-third of their original levels, resulting in an inability to invest in new production capacity. Micron's veiled criticism is widely seen as directed at its major customer, Apple, although he did not directly mention Apple by name. The standoff between Micron and Apple represents the shift in the market balance between memory companies and consumer electronics manufacturers due to the development of artificial intelligence.

Tether CEO: EU MiCA regulations are "very dangerous" for stablecoins; abandoning the application was to protect users.
PANews reported on July 2nd that, according to Coin Bureau, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino explained why USDT did not apply for an EU MiCA license, stating that the regulation is "very dangerous for stablecoins." He indicated that MiCA could force issuers to hold 60% of their reserves in uninsured cash deposits at small European banks, which might be unable to handle large-scale redemptions. Ardoino believes the legislation is "poorly considered" and stated that "skipping MiCA is to protect Tether's more than 400 million users."
Apple invests over $30 billion to deepen its partnership with Broadcom and expand its domestic chip manufacturing operations in the United States.
According to ChainCatcher, citing CNBC, Apple announced on Wednesday a multi-year partnership with chipmaker Broadcom, expected to exceed $30 billion. This is Apple's largest commitment to U.S.-made manufacturing to date. Under the agreement, Broadcom will continue to develop and supply customized ASIC chips (increasingly used in AI workloads) and wireless components for cellular networks, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity for multiple generations of Apple products until 2031. The report indicates that the partnership is expected to facilitate the production of more than 15 billion U.S.-made chips and includes a $1.5 billion expansion of Broadcom's Fort Collins, Colorado factory. Outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that this move is the largest single project in Apple's $600 billion U.S. investment plan announced in 2025, aimed at responding to the Trump administration's call to promote domestic manufacturing and helping to establish an end-to-end silicon supply chain in the United States.
StarkWare CEO proposes a 4% annual inflation rate for Bitcoin instead of the 21 million coin cap.
PANews reported on July 8th that, according to Cointelegraph, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson posted on the X platform proposing to replace the current hard cap of 21 million Bitcoins with a 4% annual issuance rate. He believes the current hard cap is "unreasonable" because private keys will be lost over time, "and when time approaches infinity, all private keys will be lost." Ledger estimates that approximately 4 million Bitcoins have already been permanently lost. Ben-Sasson stated that a 4% annual issuance rate roughly matches the global population growth rate. This proposal has sparked strong opposition from the community. Opponents argue that the fixed cap is the core value of Bitcoin, and that Bitcoin can be divided into 2.1 quadrillion satoshis, which is sufficient to address the issue of declining available supply.
