A Record $70 Billion Inflow in 5 Days! Investors Are No Longer Choosy, Buying Gold and Bitcoin Together

Investors are moving beyond "either/or" choices and are simultaneously pouring money into both gold and bitcoin ETFs. Over the past five trading sessions, ETFs tracking these assets attracted a record $7 billion in combined inflows, pushing some of the largest gold and bitcoin funds to the top of the U.S. weekly ETF inflow rankings. This surge was triggered by U.S. Treasury Secretary's announcement to at least double long-term bond buybacks, which initially pressured Treasury yields and the dollar, boosting prices for both assets. Gold has risen about 13% this month, while bitcoin reclaimed the $80,000 level. The synchronized rally signals the return of the "monetary debasement trade." Amid growing concerns over fiscal sustainability and easing financial conditions, investors are seeking scarce assets perceived as outside direct government control. Gold benefits from its traditional safe-haven role, while bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins positions it as a potential hedge. The SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) attracted nearly $3.4 billion, and the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw $1.5 billion in inflows, both ranking in the weekly top ten. Analysts note the momentum behind the flows is as significant as the volume, indicating investors are aggressively adjusting previously underweight positions. While the narrative of hedging against fiscal stress and currency debasement is gaining traction, some analysts question its sustainability, suggesting equities might be a more reliable hedge in the long run.

Yangtze Memory: Is It the Second ChangXin?

The largest IPO in the history of the STAR Market is approaching. Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) has filed for a listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market, aiming to raise 33 billion yuan. This surpasses the previous record set by competitor ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), which raised 29.5 billion yuan and saw its market capitalization surge on its debut. Despite both being leading Chinese memory chipmakers founded in 2016 and operating under the IDM model, the two companies are fundamentally different. CXMT focuses on DRAM, the memory used for temporary data processing, while YMTC specializes in NAND Flash, used for long-term data storage. Industry reports indicate the global DRAM market is significantly larger and more concentrated among three major players, where CXMT ranks as the fourth-largest supplier. The NAND Flash market is more fragmented, with YMTC ranking third globally by shipment volume in Q2 2026, though fifth by revenue due to a stronger focus on consumer-grade products. Experts are divided on whether YMTC can replicate CXMT's explosive market debut. Some analysts believe it is highly unlikely, citing a cooler market environment and YMTC's perceived lower strategic scarcity within the AI supply chain compared to DRAM/HBM-focused companies. They warn that aggressive IPO pricing could lead to downward pressure post-listing. Industry forecasts suggest the DRAM market may remain tight, while the NAND Flash market could face price corrections due to new capacity and weaker demand. Other experts argue that while short-term market sentiment differs, the long-term investment value of both companies is comparable, hinging on future performance and potential breakthroughs in areas like HBM. They believe YMTC's IPO is unlikely to face significant cooling given still-elevated market interest in the semiconductor sector.

Tether Completes Full Audit by KPMG U.S., 150 Tons of Gold and 100,000 BTC Reserves Verified

Tether Announces Completion of Full Financial Audit by KPMG US, Confirming Gold and BTC Reserves Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino announced that the company has completed its first-ever full financial audit by the "Big Four" accounting firm KPMG US. The audit covers the financial statements of Tether International, S.A. de C.V. as of December 31, 2025. Ardoino stated that Tether's delay in obtaining a full audit was primarily due to the previous US administration's hostile stance towards the digital asset industry. With a more favorable regulatory environment, the company engaged KPMG US for the rigorous review. Ardoino emphasized the audit confirmed the strength of Tether's reserves, including over $6 billion in excess equity. He also revealed the company holds substantial physical assets: approximately 150 tons of gold and over 100,000 Bitcoin (BTC). The audit process reportedly involved physically verifying each gold bar. Addressing past criticism and ongoing skepticism, Ardoino pointed to Tether's ability to handle large-scale redemptions, citing the processing of around $7 billion within 48 hours during market stress in 2022. He stated the company plans to undergo annual full financial audits alongside its ongoing quarterly attestation reports. Regarding a potential private equity round, Ardoino clarified that Tether, as a highly profitable company, does not require external capital but acknowledges significant market interest in its shares. The company remains private and mission-focused, aiming to serve users outside the traditional financial system. Looking ahead, Ardoino expressed Tether's interest in potentially funding initiatives like the "Bitcoin Red Team," which uses AI to audit Bitcoin's code and wallet security for vulnerabilities.

Wall Street's Imagination Can't Keep Up with Nvidia's 'Speed'

NVIDIA once again delivered stellar earnings, with revenue, operating profit, and EPS all hitting record highs for Q2 FY2027 (ended July 26, 2026). Revenue reached $96.221 billion, a 106% YoY increase, while net profit surged 126% to $59.688 billion. The core driver remained the Data Center segment, which grew 117% YoY to $89.023 billion, fueled by ongoing global AI infrastructure investments. The company segmented its Data Center revenue into Hyperscale (large cloud providers) and ACIE (AI cloud, enterprise, industrial, and sovereign AI) categories, with the latter showing faster growth. Notably, shipments of Hopper architecture products to mainland China accounted for less than 1% of Data Center revenue this quarter, and future guidance excludes contributions from China's Data Center compute market. CEO Jensen Huang stated that AI has reached a "tipping point," directly generating productivity and revenue. Financially, NVIDIA maintained robust profitability with a gross margin of 75%. The company also returned approximately $26 billion to shareholders via buybacks and dividends. Looking ahead, product transitions are key. The Blackwell Ultra platform is now in large-scale deployment, while the next-generation Vera Rubin platform, including NVIDIA's first CPU designed for AI agents, has entered full production. The company is also expanding its software ecosystem with tools like the DSX platform for building AI factories. However, NVIDIA's role is evolving beyond chip supplier. It is increasingly involved in financing and facilitating massive AI infrastructure projects, exemplified by its credit support for the SB Energy project in Ohio intended for OpenAI. The company aims to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for such builds, though this raises questions about future capital intensity. For Q3 FY2027, NVIDIA forecasts revenue of approximately $108 billion, signaling continued growth but at a potentially moderated pace. While still dominant, the competitive landscape is intensifying with rivals like AMD and in-house chips from major cloud customers. Key challenges include maintaining growth through the Blackwell-to-Rubin transition, sustaining the pace of AI infrastructure investment, and defending market share as inference workloads grow and competition increases.

MiniMax Starts Earning Money by Relying on Others

MiniMax, a Chinese AI company known initially for its consumer-facing products like Conch AI, has undergone a significant business shift according to its first post-IPO semi-annual report. While overall revenue grew to $117 million (surpassing its full-year 2025 projection), the revenue structure flipped dramatically. Revenue from its open platform and enterprise AI services surged 703.1% to $73.93 million, now constituting 63.4% of total income. In contrast, revenue from its own AI-native products, though doubling to $42.64 million, dropped from 69.7% to 36.6% of the total. This indicates MiniMax is transitioning from a product-centric to a platform-centric model, embedding its AI capabilities into other companies' workflows and developer applications rather than solely relying on its own apps. The company is now monetizing its core model technology as a service. However, profitability remains a challenge. Despite revenue growth of 283.1%, R&D expenses were $297 million—2.55 times revenue—leading to an adjusted net loss of $293 million. A positive sign is improving gross margin, which rose from 12.1% to 17.9%, suggesting initial progress toward scaling efficiently. Geographically, MiniMax demonstrates a "developed in China, monetized globally" model, with 60.8% of its revenue coming from outside mainland China. The report highlights that MiniMax has successfully moved past proving demand and model capability. The critical next phase is demonstrating that its growing enterprise and developer customer base can generate sufficient, sustainable profit to offset the high inherent costs of AI model training and inference.
