Наконец, на базе сети Scroll, эксперты компании выделяли проект LoreFinance, где можно принять участие в децентрализованном рынке ликвидности, который стал форком AAVE v2. Участники могут зарабатывать токены LORE и опционы oLORE, а текущая TVL проекта составляет $8,55 млн. Таким образом, в Luk Capital продолжают исследовать новые направления в DeFi, предлагая пользователям выгодные возможности на различных блокчейнах.

Research Report Analysis: Is Intel Making a Comeback with Apple? Bernstein's Calculations Show the Right Direction, but the Price Is Already Overvalued

Bernstein analyst Stacy A. Rasgon published a report on June 18 regarding Intel, assessing the potential impact of recent political support for a US-based PC chip design and manufacturing collaboration between Apple and Intel. The report views this as a significant signal for the foundry landscape shift but concludes the initial financial contribution would be minimal. Key conclusions: 1) An Apple deal is seen as a small-scale "proof of concept." Even if Intel wins 40% of Apple's premium notebook chip orders (~5 million units/year), Bernstein estimates it would generate only about $500M in annual revenue and ~$0.03 EPS, negligible against Intel's ~$55B revenue. 2) Political encouragement is not equivalent to enforceable mandates. Winning orders ultimately depends on Intel demonstrating competitive technology (like its 18A node), cost, and reliable supply. 3) The path from validation to large-scale production involves significant challenges, capital investment, and time. Due to these uncertainties, Bernstein maintains a Market-Perform (Hold) rating with a $100 price target, implying potential downside from the ~$121.10 price at the report date. The analysis highlights the tension between near-term validation value—serving as a crucial trust signal for Intel's foundry ambitions and US supply chain resilience—and the long-term opportunity to attract larger cloud and AI chip customers. The investment thesis hinges on successful 18A execution and sustained policy support, not on immediate financial gains from Apple.

27-Year Reign Ends: SK Hynix Market Cap Surpasses Samsung for First Time, an AI-Driven Reshuffle of Korean Chip Power

On June 22, 2026, SK Hynix made history by surpassing Samsung Electronics in market capitalization, ending Samsung's 27-year reign as South Korea's most valuable company. This dramatic reversal is powered by the AI boom and SK Hynix's dominant position in High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), a critical component for AI model training. Once a heavily indebted firm on the brink of bankruptcy, SK Hynix bet early on HBM, which has evolved from a niche product to essential AI infrastructure. It now commands a 59% share of the global HBM market. Its financial performance is staggering, with Q1 2026 net profit soaring nearly fourfold year-over-year to KRW 40.35 trillion, translating to over 2 billion RMB in daily net profit. HBM now drives roughly 40% of its revenue with exceptionally high margins. In contrast, Samsung, with its broad portfolio spanning memory chips, smartphones, and foundry services, has lagged in the HBM race while facing headwinds in other divisions. This shift signifies a deeper restructuring of South Korea's economy, moving from consumer electronics to AI-driven growth. However, the future remains competitive. With major capacity expansions planned industry-wide by 2028 and Samsung aiming to catch up in HBM technology, the new market leader cannot afford complacency. This event marks a pivotal moment in the global semiconductor industry's ongoing power realignment.

Marvell Officially Joins the S&P 500: A Milestone Amid the AI Wave or the Start of a New Test?

Marvell Technology's inclusion in the S&P 500 on June 22, 2026, marks a significant milestone and a new level of scrutiny. This move is seen as validation of the company's successful pivot from a traditional communications chipmaker to a core supplier in the AI data center infrastructure. Historically, profitability concerns delayed Marvell's entry. Its recent qualification stems from improved financial stability, driven by the AI investment cycle. The company is now viewed as a key beneficiary, with its growth hinging on three interconnected areas: custom AI ASICs for large cloud providers, data center networking chips essential for GPU cluster efficiency, and high-speed optical interconnect solutions. While inclusion brings benefits like passive fund inflows and greater institutional visibility, it also raises the bar. The short-term stock rise reflects optimism about Marvell's AI potential, but long-term performance will depend on converting this narrative into sustained revenue, profit growth, and free cash flow. The core challenge is proving that its AI-focused businesses—ASICs, networking, and optics—can deliver on the high expectations now embedded in its valuation.

Up Over 130% in a Month, Steadily Among Top Ethereum Blob Consumers—How Real is World Chain's Growth?

World Chain, the Layer-2 blockchain developed by the Worldcoin project, has demonstrated significant recent growth despite a generally competitive and challenging L2 landscape. Its native token, WLD, surged over 130% in a month, driven by institutional holdings (notably from Eightco Holdings), increased trading activity from promotional campaigns, and a key upcoming reduction in daily token unlocks starting July 2026. Concurrently, World Chain's on-chain activity soared, with active addresses growing nearly 650% in 30 days and its Total Value Secured (TVS) surpassing $610 million, primarily from bridge inflows. However, its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem remains nascent, with a total value locked (TVL) of only ~$40 million largely concentrated in a single protocol. A standout metric is World Chain's high data usage: it has become the second-largest consumer of Ethereum Blobs (data storage units), trailing only Base. This indicates substantial real-user transaction demand, likely fueled by Worldcoin's identity verification and reward distribution activities on its dedicated chain. While its current growth is fueled by token momentum and bridge capital, World Chain's long-term success depends on converting this activity into a sustainable, diverse on-chain economy.

Why Does 'AGI Godfather' Ben Goertzel Believe the Future of AI Relies on Blockchain?

Ben Goertzel, known as the "AGI Godfather," argues that the future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) must be built on blockchain to prevent its control by a few corporations or venture capital firms. He believes the core AGI code should be free and open-source, but that this alone is insufficient without a decentralized infrastructure to run it affordably. His blockchain project, SingularityNET, and the broader Artificial Superintelligence Alliance aim to create a user-owned, decentralized network for hosting and deploying AGI, contrasting with the closed models of companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Goertzel criticizes the shift of other labs from open to closed development. He argues that while a closed path is simpler, an open, decentralized model—akin to Linux and the internet—is both possible and ultimately better for humanity. He envisions an "Agent economy" where individuals orchestrate teams of AI agents to perform tasks, including transactions, on an open network rather than corporate clouds. While his current model relies on cryptocurrency, plans include offering paid AI services to businesses with the decentralized blockchain as the backend. Goertzel predicts human-level AGI could arrive by 2029 and warns that a gap in understanding and access to AGI could drastically worsen inequality. The first test of his decentralized approach will be the upcoming release of the Agent Omega Claw.
