The post SK Hynix and CXMT IPO boom could pull capital away from crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.S.-blocked company plans to use the proceeds to upgrade production lines and technology after posting explosive growth, including first-quarter revenue of 50.8 billion yuan, up 700% year-on-year. Reuters estimates CXMT held around 7.7% of the global DRAM market last year. These deals follow SpaceX (SPCX) and Cerebras (CBRS), two AI-related listings that have fueled enthusiasm across semiconductor and memory stocks. Together they reinforce a broader theme: investors are allocating fresh capital to companies building the infrastructure behind artificial intelligence rather than to crypto assets. Bitcoin BTC$62,919.56 has fallen roughly 50% from its October all-time high to around $63,000, as investors have increasingly favored AI infrastructure plays over digital assets. The pipeline is far from empty. OpenAI and Anthropic have both been discussed as companies that could eve

The post Federal Reserve Inflation Concerns Over AI-Driven Chipflation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Something unusual is happening inside the Federal Reserve — and it goes well beyond the usual debate over a quarter-point move. Minutes from the central bank’s June 16-17 meeting, released Wednesday, reveal that a growing number of policymakers are pointing at the artificial intelligence boom as a direct driver of Federal Reserve inflation concerns, complicating what was already a fractious internal debate over where interest rates should go next. Key takeaways The Fed raised its year-end Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation projection from 2.7% to 3.6%, citing AI-driven demand as a key factor. The benchmark rate was held at 3.5%–3.75% in June, but future hikes remain firmly on the table. Nine of 18 Fed committee members expect at least one rate hike before the end of 2026. Markets put the probability of a hike at the July 29 meeting at 30.5%, per CME FedWatch; Polymarket

The post IO.NET July Unlock: Hype vs Real GPU Demand appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Another unlock on the calendar, another round of second guessing. IO.NET has a scheduled July 11 token release, and the big question isn’t just “will price dip.” It’s whether a GPU compute token can show real, sticky demand now that the initial AI pump has cooled. If you hold IO, trade around unlocks, or just watch DePIN and AI-adjacent plays, this one matters. There’s new supply lining up, but there are also burns and on-chain earnings that could offset it. Let’s lay out what’s knowable, what’s fuzzy, and how to prep without getting spun by headlines. Aspect What to Know Unlock timing and size Scheduled for July 11, 2026. Tokenomics.com shows 15,961,514 IO, roughly 2.0% of total supply and about $2.7M value, noted as roughly 4.3% of current market cap Tokenomics.com (io.net unlock schedule). CertiK’s Skynet alert frames it as 4.043% set to unlock. Sources disagree on the denom
