Opinion: Trump's latest executive order may accelerate post-quantum cryptography research and development, benefiting the encryption industry.
PANews reported on June 24th that, according to The Block, Trump signed two executive orders on Monday to accelerate the development of U.S. quantum computing capabilities, setting a timeline for the full migration of quantum sensors and federal systems to post-quantum cryptography. Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden stated that this move means government funding and time will be invested in related goals. While not directly mentioning blockchain, it will accelerate post-quantum cryptography research and development, benefiting the crypto industry. The executive orders amend federal procurement regulations, extending post-quantum cryptography requirements to all federal contractors. Pruden pointed out that the executive orders explicitly cite NIST standardized algorithms, while many blockchain protocols are exploring non-NIST solutions; compliance pressure may drive wider adoption of lattice cryptography systems.
Trump signs executive order on quantum security, potentially accelerating post-Bitcoin quantum security research.
According to ChainCatcher, US President Trump signed two executive orders on Monday aimed at accelerating the development of US quantum computing capabilities and promoting the migration of government systems to post-quantum cryptography. While the executive orders did not directly mention Bitcoin, crypto industry insiders believe this could benefit post-quantum security research and development in the blockchain sector. The two executive orders focus on defending against advanced cryptographic attacks and promoting cutting-edge quantum innovation. These include a clear timeline: advancing the construction of quantum sensors by September 2028 and requiring high-value federal assets and high-impact systems to complete their post-quantum cryptographic migration by the end of 2031. Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden stated that this means the US government will invest funds and time to achieve post-quantum security goals and may extend these requirements to the entire federal contractor system, not just government agencies, thereby accelerating the implementation of post-quantum cryptography technology. This policy comes as the blockchain industry's concern about quantum threats continues to intensify. The Ethereum Foundation, the Solana Foundation, and others have already begun advancing post-quantum security research, and the Bitcoin community is also discussing potential risks. Bitcoins with publicly exposed addresses are considered to face the risk of private key deduction once powerful quantum computers emerge in the future. Pruden points out that this executive order explicitly sets the deadline for post-quantum cryptography adoption at 2031, making it more binding than the previous US government guidance that only outlined phasing out traditional cryptography by 2035. For Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry, government investment in post-quantum security could accelerate the maturation of related tools, standards, and migration paths.

Bernstein: SK Hynix's DRAM gross margin is expected to reach 92% in the third quarter.
According to Odaily Odaily, investment research firm Bernstein estimates that SK Hynix's DRAM gross margin is expected to reach 90.9% in the second quarter of this year and 92% in the third quarter. This growth is mainly driven by high demand for HBM; SK Hynix holds approximately 60% market share in the HBM market and is a major supplier to Nvidia. Industry insiders say that in the history of global manufacturing and technology, apart from software and platform-based asset-light companies, very few physical hardware manufacturing businesses have been able to achieve a gross margin exceeding 90%.
Research indicates that AI-powered high-end MLCCs are driving record-high order-to-shipment ratios for major Japanese and Korean manufacturers, increasing the risk of shortages in the second half of 2026.
According to the latest MLCC industry research from TrendForce, driven by both the accelerated replacement of AI servers and the continued mass production of self-developed ASIC chips by cloud service providers (CSPs), the order-to-shipment ratios (BB Ratios) of the three leading MLCC manufacturers—Murata, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and Taiyo Yuden—reached record highs of 1.30, 1.31, and 1.25 respectively in late June 2026. The overall MLCC market BB Ratio also rose to 1.04. Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, with new AI chip platforms from Nvidia, Google, and AMD entering mass production in the third quarter, capacity will continue to be occupied by AI orders. Coupled with the dual demand of advance stockpiling, the probability of longer delivery times and rising prices for high-end MLCCs is increasing. The fourth quarter is expected to be a crucial period for observing whether the high-end MLCC market will officially enter a period of shortage. (Cailian Press)
