The US-Iraq pact triggered a new clash in the Straits of Hormuz

Iran ' s attempt to close the Holmuz channel, protected by the United States Navy, has led to tension in the area. Iran's attack on three tankers this week contributed to the escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran. According to analysts, this round of conflict represents the most significant escalation since February. The United States Secretary of Energy stated that Iran would not be able to continue to control the Strait of Hormuz and that the United States would ensure passage through the Strait. Despite Iran ' s commitment in the interim agreement between the United States and Iran to provide safe passage for commercial vessels, Tehran maintains that safe passage can only be achieved through the northern route of its territorial waters. The attack was seen as Iran ' s targeted destruction of the southern channel and was intended to convey a message to the Gulf States。

INSTITUTION: HBM4 PRICE RISES TO $4-5 PER THOUSAND BITS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR

On 12 July, the DigiTimes report indicated that the next generation of HBM4 prices had risen to $4-5 and above in the second half of 2026, or from $2/kilobit. This is due to the extreme complexity of the HBM4 manufacturing process, which has a production cycle of four to six months and has a significantly lower initial performance rate, and to the fact that HBM production consumes about three times the crystaln circle capacity of standard DDR5DRAM, which severely limits the total internal stock that manufacturers can produce in existing facilities。

BIP-110 BITCOIN DATA LIMITATION PROPOSAL NEARS THE DEADLINE AND MINERS STILL HAVE A SUPPORT RATE CLOSE TO ZERO

On 12 July, the Bitcoin BIP-110 proposal was about to meet its deadline at the beginning of August, but the current support rate for miners is still below 1 per cent, indicating that the proposal faces considerable resistance. BIP-110, all known as "reduce data temporary soft fork", is at the core of the controversy about limiting non-financial data in the Bitcoin block chain. The proposal plans to limit OP RETURN data capacity within one year, prohibit the writing of most of the arbitrary data in excess of 256 bytes, and limit the script formats used mainly for data storage. Proponents argued that the proposal would allow the Bitcoin network to focus more on the payment function and reduce the pressure on nodes to operate; opponents argued that it would escalate the policy controversy on the use of block space into a change in consensus rules and determine which transactions were " acceptable " transactions. The founders of Strategy, Michael Saylor, and the co-founder of Blockstream, Adam Back, have both publicly opposed BIP-110. Saylor says, "There are 110 things more dangerous than garbage data" and that the proposal will "transform the garbage data dispute into a consensus change that will invalidate some of the current transactions that are valid and that pay fees." Adam Back says that if supporters cannot accept the status quo, they can choose a cross, but "bitcoin will not join." The data show that BIP-110 uses a user-activated soft fork to set a threshold of 55 per cent for miners' signals, but at present the miners' signal rate has never exceeded about 1 per cent, the current cycle is more than 0, and there is no support for major mines. The percentage of nodes running BIP-110 software is also in single digits, mainly from Bitcoin Knots users. The current signal cycle of the proposal will end near block heights of 959,615 and is expected to enter the voluntary locking deadline in early August and to be activated around September. If there is still a lack of broad support at that time, it may result in a few nodes forming a chain of separation。

Chief Executive Officer Ripple: Ripple considered closing the company and allocating XRP to shareholders

On 12 July, Ripple Chief Executive Officer Brad Garlinghouse stated that he and the co-founder Chris Larsen had seriously considered closing down the company and allocating the XRP they held to shareholders after the SEC filed an indictment in 2020. Garlinghouse states that they chose to fight the SEC instead of closing down the company, that the decision saved hundreds of jobs but allowed Ripple to pay about $150 million in legal fees over four years. Ripple eventually won the case after the federal judge ruled that XRP was not a security in itself. The case was settled last year following a change in the SEC leadership, which took a more liberal position on encrypted currency。
