Memory Chip “Supercycle” Sends Micron and SanDisk Soaring in 2026. WEEX Opens the Trade to Everyone Through Tokenized Stocks

Driven by AI demand, a memory "supercycle" is propelling DRAM and NAND prices higher through 2026, significantly boosting companies like Micron and SanDisk. The global crypto exchange WEEX is providing access to this trend through tokenized stocks and perpetual futures for MU and SNDK, as well as DRAM spot trading. These USDT-denominated markets allow 24/7 trading with leverage, eliminating the need for a traditional brokerage account. While highlighting the strong fundamentals and projected supply gap, the article cautions about volatility and high risk, noting sharp pullbacks and warning that leveraged trading can amplify losses.

Five Historical Indicators Light Up Simultaneously, Bitcoin Bear Market Hits Bottom

Multiple historical indicators are converging to suggest that Bitcoin may be approaching or has reached a long-term cycle bottom. Currently trading approximately 50% below its all-time high, Bitcoin's bear market has persisted for over 40 weeks. Several key metrics point towards a potential low: the Nasdaq/Bitcoin and Gold/Bitcoin Relative Strength Index (RSI) readings are at historically extreme oversold (for Bitcoin) levels, which have previously signaled significant long-term outperformance in subsequent 1-3 year periods. Furthermore, Bitcoin's spot price is currently around 18% below its Realized Price (on-chain cost basis of $53k), a condition that has historically marked the final stages of bear markets and preceded substantial future returns. Analysis of past cycles indicates that price lows typically occur around 60 weeks after the previous peak, suggesting a potential low could form by late November 2026. Combined, these signals—though based on a limited historical sample and subject to structural market changes—indicate the period from now through late 2026 could present an attractive long-term accumulation opportunity for Bitcoin, with an asymmetrically positive return profile projected for the 2027-2028 timeframe.

Crossing Boundaries Is Hard: Neither Prediction Market Nor Perp DEX Leader Has Replicated Their Own Success

Over the past six months, two of the hottest trading sectors—prediction markets and Perpetual DEXs (Perp DEXs)—have been attempting to cross into each other's territories. In April, prediction market platform Polymarket announced plans to launch perpetual contracts (Perps) for crypto, stocks, and commodities. In late May, the regulated platform Kalshi launched CFTC-regulated crypto Perps. Meanwhile, leading Perp DEX Hyperliquid moved in the opposite direction, launching its HIP-4 outcome markets for event-based trading in May. Initial results from these crossovers have been mixed, showing that established user habits and liquidity do not easily transfer to new product categories. Hyperliquid's HIP-4 platform saw strong initial demand, with daily volume reaching nearly $30 million during the World Cup, but active markets have since collapsed from over 120 to under 20, with daily volume often falling below $1 million. This highlights the inherent challenge: perpetual contracts maintain liquidity around core assets, while event contracts expire and require constant renewal of interest and liquidity. Similarly, Polymarket's Perps, still in an invite-only phase, saw daily volume drop from an initial ~$48 million to around $18 million by late July, with open interest (OI) at only ~$26.4 million—a fraction of Hyperliquid's ~$7.7 billion OI. Kalshi's Perps had a faster start, accumulating $16.1 billion in volume over six weeks, but recent daily volume has plummeted over 80% to around $80 million, with OI remaining in the millions, far below major Perp DEXs. The article concludes that replicating the deep liquidity and entrenched user behavior of a core market is exceptionally difficult. For these platforms, deepening their dominance in their original "home" sectors—whether Perp DEXs or prediction markets—may be a more viable strategy than pursuing a broad "everything exchange" model through跨界 expansion. Success ultimately depends on sustained accumulation of users, liquidity, and market depth in a core niche.

Google's earnings report is bright enough, so why isn't Wall Street buying it?

Google's parent company, Alphabet, reported strong Q2 2026 results with revenue of $119.8 billion (up 24% YoY) and operating profit of $40.8 billion (up 30% YoY). Its Google Cloud segment was a standout, with revenue surging 82% to $24.77 billion. However, despite these positive figures, the company's stock fell nearly 3% in after-hours trading. The market's negative reaction stems from concerns over the massive costs of competing in the AI era. Alphabet's capital expenditures hit $44.9 billion in Q2, and its full-year 2026 Capex guidance was raised to $195-$205 billion. This intense spending on AI infrastructure (servers, data centers) caused Alphabet's free cash flow to turn negative for the first time, at -$5.855 billion. While Google Cloud's rapid growth demonstrates some return on AI investments, its ~$100 billion annualized revenue is still overshadowed by the nearly $200 billion in annual Capex. Investors are questioning how long it will take for these enormous investments to translate into sustainable, profitable growth. Furthermore, doubts persist about the competitiveness of Google's core Gemini AI model, especially after reported delays. The market is shifting its focus from sheer AI spending to which company can most effectively monetize its investments. For Google, the challenge is to prove its "full-stack AI" strategy can deliver long-term value that justifies the current financial strain.

Data Review: How Much Profit Did Prediction Markets Reap from a Single World Cup?

**How Much Did the 2026 World Cup Boost Prediction Markets? A Data Review.** The 2026 World Cup provided a major, temporary boost to leading prediction markets, according to an analysis of Kalshi, Polymarket, and predict.fun. During the tournament, total nominal trading volume reached $543.38 billion on Kalshi, $209.88 billion on Polymarket, and $10.92 billion on predict.fun. While Kalshi maintained an overall lead, Polymarket narrowed the gap significantly in World Cup-specific markets. All platforms saw daily trading volumes roughly double or more during the event compared to pre-tournament levels, but activity largely retreated to baseline shortly after the final. Fee revenue also surged. Kalshi's weekly fees peaked at over $100 million in the fourth week, totaling $473.2 million for the tournament. Polymarket's weekly fees stabilized around $20 million, totaling $111.4 million. Predict.fun saw its weekly fee income rise from a pre-tournament $159k to a peak of $755k, with a six-week total of $3.48 million. Post-tournament, daily fee income declined for all three. Analysis of Total Value Locked (TVL) showed Polymarket's deposits remained flat around $4.4-$4.8 billion during the World Cup and later fell, suggesting the event spurred high-frequency trading but not long-term capital commitment. In contrast, predict.fun's TVL saw a clear inflow during the tournament's knockout stages, rising to a peak near $25 million before easing. The data confirms that mega-sports events can generate massive, concentrated trading volume and revenue for prediction platforms. However, the post-tournament pullback indicates this growth is largely event-driven and doesn't automatically translate into sustained higher activity. The World Cup validated sports as a core trading category and helped users develop repeated trading habits, setting the stage for the next phase of competition focused on user retention and creating consistent trading demand.
