On June 23, Cointelegraph reported that three major crypto lobbying organizations—the Blockchain Association, the Crypto Innovation Council, and the Digital Chamber of Commerce—jointly wrote to the U.S. Congress, urging for the Mining and Staking Tax Clarification Act to be passed as is, without further amendments. This bill allows miners and stakers to choose to pay taxes either when they receive crypto rewards or when they sell their assets, aiming to address liquidity issues caused by 'phantom income taxation.' Democratic Congressman Steven Horsford proposed an amendment that would limit the deferral of crypto reward taxes to five years, but the CEO of the Crypto Innovation Council stated that this amendment would 'undermine' the bill and only generate 'negligible revenue.' The American Bankers Association opposes the bill, claiming it gives cryptocurrencies a 'significant advantage,' while crypto lobby groups argue that renegotiating a previously reached compromise would 'revive the issues the bill seeks to resolve.'

On June 23, Citi stated that AI servers and high-speed network upgrades are reshaping the growth outlook for China's PCB industry, raising target prices for Huada Semiconductor and Shenghong Technology due to the potential for AI-PCB demand to continue expanding rapidly over the next three years. In a report released on June 21, Citi raised its forecast for the total potential market size of AI-PCB from 2026 to 2028 to RMB 152 billion, 307 billion, and 562 billion, corresponding to year-on-year growth of 86%, 102%, and 83%. The bank noted that the new model incorporates demand for CPU and optical module PCBs and provided a forecast for 2028 for the first time. Citi expects that in 2027, AI-PCB demand will be dominated by ASICs, accounting for about 34%; NVIDIA GPU-related demand will account for 24%, CPUs for 16%, switches for 14%, and optical modules for 12%. In terms of growth rates, network-related demand is the strongest, especially with the ramp-up of 1.6T optical modules and switches, which may drive optical module PCBs to grow by 135% and 178% in 2026 and 2027, respectively. The report indicated that Google TPU-related PCB procurement could become a key increment in 2028. Citi estimates that Google TPU PCB procurement could reach $16 billion by 2028, surpassing NVIDIA GPU-related PCB demand. Breaking down the new demand from 2027 to 2028, Google TPU contributes about 30%, NVIDIA contributes 25%, and switches and optical modules each contribute 14%. As AI-PCB demand expands rapidly, capacity may become a new constraint. Citi expects the next round of PCB expansion announcements to begin in the second half of 2026 to support 2028 demand. The bank stated that PCB manufacturers in mainland China typically require 13 to 15 months from greenfield projects to mass production, while upstream fiberglass and copper-clad laminate expansion cycles may take longer, potentially reaching 18 months. This means that AI-CCL supply may tighten further. Citi believes that as major AI-PCB projects launch in the second half of 2026, first-tier PCB manufacturers with the ability to secure raw materials will see improved profit visibility in 2027. Related expansion announcements may also act as catalysts for the industry, strengthening investor confidence in the long-term growth of AI-PCB. In terms of individual stocks, Citi maintains a 'Buy' rating for Huada Semiconductor and Shenghong Technology. The bank raised Huada Semiconductor's target price from RMB 119 to RMB 189, citing the company's strong mass production and delivery capabilities in the data center switch and AI server PCB sectors. Citi expects Huada Semiconductor's net profits from 2026 to 2028 to be RMB 6.7 billion, 12.1 billion, and 23.2 billion, respectively, and believes its profit CAGR could reach 86%. Shenghong Technology's target price was raised from RMB 415 to RMB 456. Citi lowered its 2026 net profit forecast, mainly reflecting lower-than-expected contributions from Rubin-related revenues, but believes that 2027 profits will remain stable and introduced a net profit forecast of RMB 23.2 billion for 2028 for the first time. The bank stated that Shenghong Technology's long-term relationship with NVIDIA, HDI capacity, and potential opportunities in data center switches and ASICs still support its valuation premium. However, Citi also cautioned that the AI-PCB market still faces multiple risks, including lower-than-expected shares of GenAI-related orders, yield issues, price competition in the automotive supply chain, reduced capital expenditures by cloud vendors, weakening macro demand, rising material costs, and geopolitical risks between China and the U.S. Overall, Citi's assessment is that AI-PCB demand is no longer solely driven by NVIDIA GPUs but is expanding to include ASICs, Google TPUs, high-speed switches, and optical modules. As demand for 2028 enters the capacity planning phase earlier, leading Chinese PCB manufacturers with high-end processes, customer resources, and material security capabilities may continue to be core beneficiaries of AI infrastructure expansion.

On June 23, QCP Market Colour reported that Bitcoin has regained the $65,000 mark after Strategy increased its holdings by 520 BTC and raised its cash reserves to $1.4 billion, providing some support to market sentiment. Meanwhile, its dividend coverage period has extended to nearly 10 months, and the restoration of liquidity is viewed as a positive signal by some investors. On the macro level, the Nasdaq fell by about 1%, with large tech stocks under pressure, while the strengthening yen has reignited speculation about potential intervention by the Bank of Japan. Conversely, small-cap stocks have performed well, with the Russell 2000 index reaching an all-time high. The overall cryptocurrency market remains in a range-bound structure, with ongoing uncertainties regarding the U.S.-Iran situation, financing structures related to Strategy, and the Federal Reserve's policy path continuing to suppress sentiment. This week's PCE inflation data and quarterly rebalancing may bring volatility, but the options market indicates a current lack of sufficient catalysts to drive a directional breakout.
