Zhipu AI's new model has been leaked to feature up to 3.5 trillion parameters, and is expected to reach the performance level of Anthropic's Claude Fable.

Beating AI Express (Dongcha) reports that an expert interview transcript circulating in investment communities claims Zhipu AI’s next-generation base model does not carry the previously rumored 1.6 trillion parameters, but ranges from 2.5 trillion to 3.5 trillion parameters. Zhipu’s GLM-5.3, released in August this year, still uses the previous-generation base model, with around 744 billion parameters. If the news is accurate, the new base model’s scale will expand to roughly 3.4 to 4.7 times that of the current version. However, the training process has not been smooth. The transcript states Zhipu adopted a more aggressive model architecture this time, leading to a period during pre-training where the loss did not decrease – meaning continuous computing power investment failed to improve training metrics. The interviewee believes the issue has likely been resolved recently, with training expected to wrap up soon, and predicts the new model will reach the flagship level of Anthropic’s Claude Fable. The new model also aims to solve the common problem of large language models being "launchable but not supply-ready" after release. The transcript notes Zhipu has set inference speed and cost as hard constraints from the architectural design phase, targeting large-scale service availability on launch day. Multiple cloud vendors are already in discussions over revenue sharing.

‘The Big Short’ Michael Burry: U.S. stocks may peak within 9 months, and is heavily shorting the Nasdaq 100 index and semiconductor sector.

The real-life inspiration for *The Big Short*, Michael Burry, said in a Substack post today that the U.S. stock market could be just 0 to 9 months away from a major top, noting that "the final months of this bull market could get very wild."

Solana's Alpenglow consensus upgrade will launch on mainnet-beta on October 21, cutting block finalization time to 150 milliseconds.

According to official announcements, Solana research and development firm Anza has announced that Alpenglow will launch on Solana’s mainnet-beta at approximately 22:50 UTC+8 on October 21. The 18-month-long upgrade will complete the migration in a single slot, cutting block finalization time from several seconds to roughly 150 milliseconds. Alpenglow will replace the TowerBFT consensus protocol that Solana has used since its mainnet launch. The upgrade combines the latest consensus research advancements with erasure-coded data distribution technology, aiming to boost block confirmation speeds across the global network to as close to physical limits as possible. Alpenglow is expected to deliver a more efficient underlying infrastructure for 24/7 global capital markets, supporting high-throughput transactions and near-instant settlement. For institutional users, the protocol will reduce transaction settlement time from the typical 1–3 business days to around 150 milliseconds, while providing cryptographic guarantees and enabling direct on-chain payment processing to cut down on intermediaries and reconciliation requirements. For developers, faster confirmation speeds will improve Web3 application responsiveness, reduce wait prompts and retry logic, and bring on-chain app interaction experiences closer to those of traditional internet applications. Additionally, Alpenglow will offer a more suitable on-chain transaction environment for AI agents to execute high-speed operations. Combined with payment tools like x402, AI agents will be able to complete payments and other on-chain operations more efficiently without permission, lowering transaction friction. This upgrade will further strengthen Solana’s support for use cases including high-frequency trading, institutional financial services, Web3 applications, and the AI agent economy.

Donald Trump is willing to offer Iran sanctions relief in exchange for "substantive progress" on the nuclear issue.

According to Al Jazeera, U.S. President Donald Trump is open to considering easing sanctions on Iran and unfreezing Iranian funds if "specific progress" is made on the Iran nuclear issue. U.S. officials said the U.S. and Iran are holding "positive and constructive" discussions via intermediaries, but no deal will be reached if the nuclear issue is not resolved. The official added that Iran has signaled some flexibility on the nuclear issue, though the two sides have yet to agree on the timeline for implementing relevant commitments. Trump previously rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calling the plan "unacceptable." Trump said more talks with Iran are expected this week. Negotiations on the U.S. side are led by Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said Trump is skeptical of Iran’s proposals, believing Iran is demanding all its conditions be met before advancing further negotiations. White House officials also noted the U.S. is cautious about Iran’s commitments, citing Iran’s violation of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding reached in July, which included attacks on commercial vessels.

Analysis: The restaking 'gold rush' is ebbing, profits of Ethereum's leading protocols have shrunk sharply

As restaking yields continue to decline and smart contract risks rise, Ethereum’s leading liquid restaking protocol ether.fi is gradually exiting the restaking business and shifting to a "crypto neo-bank" model. Data shows that as of September 8, the restaking sector’s assets under management (AUM) stood at approximately $10.02 billion, generating only around $99,977 in fees over the past week. By contrast, liquid staking protocols manage roughly $51.87 billion in AUM and produced about $27.35 million in fees. Calculated per dollar of assets, fees from liquid staking are roughly 53 times higher than those from restaking. ether.fi CEO Mike Silagadze noted that restaking offers "no meaningful yield opportunities" while exposing users to additional risks, prompting the firm’s exit from the segment. As of August, less than 1% of ether.fi’s assets remained restaked via EigenLayer, with the company expected to fully sever related structural connections by the end of this year. Meanwhile, the five major liquid restaking protocols—Renzo, Kelp, Swell, Puffer Finance, and Bedrock—combined to generate around $953,000 in gross profit in Q2 2026, a sharp decline from the $2.18 million they earned over the prior three quarters. ether.fi has since pivoted its business focus to crypto neo-banking, including offerings such as crypto payment cards, lending markets, yield vaults, and tokenized stocks and metals.

Bonk Guy pumps MARSCOIN, claiming it could see 'explosive growth' in the fourth quarter.

Renowned crypto trader Bonk Guy has stated in a post that MarsCoin (MARSCOIN) features a "very clean" recent technical trend, indicating it could be primed for a significant rally in the fourth quarter. He noted that BNB and BNB Chain’s influence is growing in this cycle, while MarsCoin combines the "Elon Musk + CZ" concept alongside narratives like SPCX, with its fundamentals gradually taking shape. Bonk Guy also added that during the last cycle, he helped drive rallies for multiple Elon Musk-themed meme coins, with SHIB and DOGE once surpassing $40 billion and $80 billion in market cap respectively. He explained that this cycle, MarsCoin integrates Elon Musk, CZ and SPCX narratives, and Binance currently supports SPCX via its reward program, allocating a portion of trading fees to related incentives. As a result, the market may be underestimating MarsCoin’s future upside potential.

Manus 2.0 Officially Launched: New Architecture, Professional Studio Tool, and Personal AI Agent Application Cue Roll Out Simultaneously

Beating AI Express (Dongcha) – Manus has officially launched Version 2.0, a comprehensive upgrade rather than a simple iteration, centered on the question of "what the next-generation Manus should look like".

Anthropic projects a surging AI economy, aligning with Elon Musk’s view that AI and robotics will double the global economy.

Beating AI News Flash: Anthropic’s latest economic scenario model shows that in the most extreme case, if AI can independently complete the vast majority of knowledge-based jobs and spread rapidly, the U.S. annual GDP growth rate could reach 15%, with the economy doubling roughly every 4.5 years. By 2030, U.S. GDP could hit $44.4 trillion, 32.4% higher than in a scenario without AI. Anthropic emphasized that this is a conditional extreme scenario, not a formal forecast. Earlier, Elon Musk put forward a more radical assessment: he recently stated that combining AI with humanoid robots will drive the global economy to more than double in less than 10 years, and views the mass production of humanoid robots as a key milestone for this shift. The two views share clear logical alignment: Anthropic’s calculation focuses on the economic impact of large-scale automation of knowledge work by AI, while Musk extends AI’s capabilities to the physical world, arguing that after humanoid robots enter mass production, automation will expand from the digital realm to real-world production. However, Anthropic clarified that its current model does not yet include humanoid robots with superhuman capabilities. The firm’s survey of 10,980 U.S. respondents found that their typical expectation only translates to a 10% higher GDP in 2030 than in the no-AI scenario, with only around 10% of respondents offering judgments close to the extreme scenario.

The Sandbox has officially opened compensation claims for its vulnerability incident, with the application window remaining open until 00:00 on the 23rd.

According to an official announcement, The Sandbox has officially opened SAND compensation claims. Users affected by the SAND cross-chain contract vulnerability incident on Base and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) on August 22 will receive full SAND compensation on the Ethereum network at a 1:1 ratio, provided they held bridged SAND on the affected networks before the incident. Eligibility is based on on-chain balance snapshots taken prior to the event and is independent of any transactions, transfers, or holdings users made after the incident. The Sandbox stated that compensation eligibility is determined by on-chain balances recorded before the contract exploit. The Base network snapshot corresponds to Block 50283188 at 23:42:03 UTC on August 21, 2026, while the BSC snapshot is Block 117322025 at 11:42:44 UTC on the same date. Users holding SAND on Base or BSC via centralized exchanges do not need to take any action, as The Sandbox is coordinating with relevant platforms to process compensation. Those holding SAND in personal wallets must submit claims on their own. The claim period runs from September 8 to 24:00 UTC+8 on September 22. To file a claim, users only need to initiate a single transaction from the original wallet that held SAND at the snapshot time—no token authorization, off-chain message signing, or transfers to any addresses are required.

Willy Woo: Bitcoin is now significantly decoupling from U.S. stocks, a trend similar to the prelude to Bitcoin's 2017 bull market.

Crypto analyst Willy Woo has published a post stating that Bitcoin is significantly decoupling from the U.S. stock market, with the last instance of such a high degree of decoupling occurring in 2015 — the prelude to Bitcoin’s 2017 bull run. In 2014, the stock market remained in a bull market, while BTC experienced a bear market unrelated to stock market trends. From 2015 to 2016, the stock market fluctuated weakly for two consecutive years, yet BTC entered a bull market; then in 2017, when the stock market also turned bullish, BTC surged even more sharply. Willy Woo believes the current market landscape mirrors that period: Bitcoin’s liquidity is continuing to strengthen, while the stock market is starting to show signs of fragility.

Arthur Hayes: GPIF May Re-Examine Internal and External Asset Allocation; 'Money Printing Feast' Ahead

Arthur Hayes stated in a post that Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) is considering a re-examination of its overseas and domestic asset allocations, which he cited as one of the factors behind today’s roughly 2% drop in the euro against the yen. Hayes argues that shifts in GPIF’s asset allocation could trigger large-scale capital reallocation, dubbing this the start of a “money printing feast”. He also recommends reading his latest article “Atencion” for more related perspectives.

Analysis: Bitcoin may be shifting from a 4-year cycle to a 6 to 8-year cycle.

On-chain analyst Willy Woo has published a post noting that Bitcoin has long been shaped by its halving mechanism, creating a relatively regular 4-year cycle. But as the supply boost from halving continues to fade, this endogenous cyclical driver is growing less significant. Woo highlighted that BTC’s current annual new supply makes up roughly 0.8% of its total supply, a figure set to fall further to 0.4% going forward. Meanwhile, short-term debt cycles in traditional financial markets typically span 6 to 8 years, leading him to argue Bitcoin may be gradually transitioning from its prior 4-year cycle to a 6 to 8-year one. The present period could mark the transitional stage of this cyclical structural shift.

Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC): Digital asset firms must apply for licenses by September 30, or face potential penalties.

According to an official announcement from Australia’s Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), firms relying on ASIC’s "no-action position" for the digital asset sector must apply for or amend an Australian Financial Services (AFS) license by September 30, 2026. Failure to meet this deadline may lead to violations of financial services laws starting October 1. ASIC added that entities needing either an Australian market license or a clearing and settlement (CS) facility license must also notify the regulator of their application intent in writing by the same date, and complete pre-application meetings. Firms failing to satisfy these requirements may face civil and criminal penalties, with maximum fines equal to 10% of their annual turnover. Since updating its digital asset regulatory guidelines in October 2025, ASIC has received over 45 relevant license applications. The regulator stated that ending transitional regulatory exemptions for digital asset businesses is a key step toward bringing the sector under formal regulatory oversight. Additionally, Australia’s Digital Asset Framework Amendment (DAF Act) was passed by parliament in April 2026, received royal assent on April 8, and will officially take effect on April 9, 2027. Even after the new framework is implemented, some existing licenses will remain valid.

GPT-6 Astra Set for Launch: GPT-6 Spotted in OpenAI’s Official Repository

Insight Beating AI Flash News: GPT-6 has directly appeared in OpenAI’s official GitHub repository. An OpenAI developer submitted a Pull Request (PR) to the Computer Use example project, adding two environments: gpt6-js-image and gpt6-py-image, with the branch named codex/gpt6-computer-use-images. The two environments are tailored for JavaScript and Python respectively: the former is pre-installed with Playwright and Chromium, while the latter uses PyAutoGUI, Chromium, and a Linux desktop environment, enabling agents to view screens and operate browsers and desktops. The PR has not been merged yet, and it does not include GPT-6 API calls—it is only preparing the runtime environment for Computer Use. Sam Altman recently stated in an interview that past models’ computer operations have always been too slow or unreliable, but Astra made him feel for the first time that “it has reached a level comparable to humans”. He now directly lets the model retrieve messages across different applications instead of opening and searching for them one by one himself.

Making money from FOMO? The peak APR for the JINQIAN liquidity pool (LP) on Uniswap hit 83,832%.

Tonight, the "short squeeze on underlying stocks" narrative surrounding JINQIAN/FAMI on Robinhood’s blockchain has been denied by the parties involved, putting an end to the on-chain hype. However, a review of the entire incident shows that the biggest gains were not only made by top on-chain traders; smart money also reaped substantial profits by setting up JINQIAN trading pair liquidity provider (LP) pools on Uniswap. According to data from Uniswap’s official page, during JINQIAN’s first rally from a $7 million market cap to $60 million, the peak APR of its main trading pair JINQIAN/ETH hit 83,832%, and has since dropped to 79,708%. As of press time, the JINQIAN/USDG trading pair still has a 6% transaction fee, with the pool’s annualized APR reaching as high as 126,440%. This means that if traders bought JINQIAN tokens during the rally, then established liquidity pools at higher price levels, timely collected LP fees, and sold off part of their JINQIAN holdings, their risk-reward ratio would be far higher than that of simply holding JINQIAN tokens. However, current market sentiment has become overly FOMO, and on-chain scams are on the rise. Even setting up LP pools for individual popular meme coins cannot fully avoid risks from token price fluctuations, so users should exercise caution with their investments.

Crypto whale sets 10 major targets: Bitcoin won’t rise continuously, with a medium-term target of $100,000 by March next year.

Whale "Set 10 Big Goals First" posted on X that he has reopened short positions at $76,000, noting the logic is straightforward: "When I opened long positions around $63,000, my stage target was originally $74,000. I still maintain the bull market has returned, and this judgment hasn’t changed. However, I’ve always believed this cycle should be a volatile upward trend, and so far, I haven’t seen enough signals from macro and market structure to support such a trajectory." He has now reduced the vast majority of his short positions. "This isn’t because I’ve changed my judgment, but to control risks. If prices continue to rally sharply here, $82,000 and even $84,000 are possible, so there’s no need to bet my entire position on my judgment being 100% correct. If the daily close is firmly above $80,500, I will admit this trade is wrong, close all positions, and step back for a while. If prices fail to hold here and turn weak again, I will consider adding back the short positions I reduced." The whale reaffirmed his mid-to-long-term outlook on BTC: "I remain bullish on BTC in the medium and long term, but being bullish long-term doesn’t conflict with short-term bearish trades. This short position is a bet on a pullback during the uptrend, not a return to the bear market. If I’m wrong, I will admit the mistake above $80,500. I still believe BTC will hit $100,000 by March next year."

Analysis: The CLARITY Act is feared to be delayed until 2027, and large crypto firms may expand their advantages amid the regulatory vacuum.

The U.S. Senate will enter recess on August 7, leaving an extremely narrow window for the CLARITY Act to pass before then. If a vote is not completed this week, the next viable timeline will be pushed to September; a further delay could push the bill’s implementation to after the midterm elections, meaning it may not take effect until 2027. Key sticking points on the bill currently involve Democrats’ insistence on adding ethics clauses for senior government officials engaged in crypto-related work, though the merged draft has not yet incorporated such provisions. During the regulatory vacuum, large crypto institutions like Coinbase and Circle are better able to adapt to uncertain environments thanks to their capital strength: ARK Invest increased its holdings in both companies this week, while Circle secured a federal national trust bank charter in July. By contrast, small and mid-sized crypto firms and DeFi projects continue to face pressure. On the market front, Polymarket data shows the probability of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026 has dropped to 23%, a sharp decline from Galaxy Research’s mid-May forecast of 67% to 75%.

Bank of America: August to October could be the toughest period for US stocks this year, with defensive assets such as gold and the US dollar likely to benefit.

US Bancorp Securities technical analyst Paul Ciana released a report noting that historical data shows August to October is typically the weakest rolling three-month period for the S&P 500, meaning US stocks may face their toughest phase of the year. The report points out that since 1928, the S&P 500 has delivered an average return of nearly zero (-0.02%) during August-October, with gains recorded in only 55% of years. This period also sees the largest average drawdown of any rolling three-month window, hitting 7.35%. Ciana emphasized that seasonal weakness does not indicate a reversal of long-term trends. Historical data shows November through January is a traditional strong window for US stocks, with the S&P 500 averaging a 3.54% gain. On the asset front, Bank of America (BofA) believes defensive assets such as the US dollar, US Treasuries, and gold tend to outperform during August-October. Gold has risen 61% of the time in this window since 1992, with an average gain of 2.52%; yields on the 30-year US Treasury have historically trended downward. Energy assets may be an exception to late-summer trends. The Bloomberg Energy Index has posted an average historical gain of 2.42% in August, and crude oil prices also tend to find support in late August. BofA cautioned that investors should monitor risks from seasonal volatility and allocate to defensive assets to hedge against potential market pullbacks.

Calculated based on margin, the theoretical liquidation line is around $113.06, only about $2.94 away from the current price. However, this address has enabled portfolio margin, with 301,900 HYPE (including roughly 60,000 added recently) included as collateral to jointly support SPCX’s losses. The risk is that when HYPE and SPCX decline simultaneously, both collateral value and position equity shrink, and once the threshold is triggered, the system may liquidate the HYPE collateral. All positions held by this address, including SPCX and CRCL, are long positions, with SPCX accounting for around 72% of the total position value, making it a typical high-leverage one-sided long. No stop-loss or position-reduction orders have been placed in the account, and there are no closed position records since the address first opened a long position seven days ago.

「巨鲸追踪」谷歌财报前做多千万头寸巨鲸，认亏74万美元清仓

According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the GOOGL bull address (0xC8b) disclosed last night continued to add to its position after the report. From 10 PM on July 22 to 4 AM today, it opened a total of 38,800 GOOGL long contracts, worth approximately $13.5578 million, at an average price of $349.28; it added about $2.8978 million to its position since the disclosure. After Alphabet’s earnings report was released, the whale began reducing its position at 5:43 AM today and closed all the aforementioned long positions 2 hours ago at $330.29, posting a loss of $737,000. Alphabet’s Q2 revenue rose 24% year-over-year, while Google Cloud revenue jumped 82% YoY; however, the company raised its full-year capital expenditure guidance from $180-$190 billion to $195-$205 billion, leading its stock to briefly turn negative in after-hours trading. As of press time, GOOGL contracts on Hyperliquid are trading at $334.27, down 4.34% on the day. The whale previously booked a profit of about $1.7178 million from its prior MU long positions. Currently, its only position has shifted back to MU: it holds 24,600 long contracts with 3x leverage, worth approximately $23.9561 million, at an average entry price of $977.60, with an unrealized loss of about $97,900 and a liquidation price of $354.91.

Now, with BTC at about $65,000, this related demand has largely vanished.

Cardano will hand over control of its core software to an external team starting in August.

Cardano developer Input Output will transfer control of key blockchain components—including Haskell nodes, the Plutus platform, and the Daedalus wallet—to external professional teams starting in August, as part of its multi-year decentralization initiative. Independent firms such as Se7en Labs and Teragone will oversee portions of the core infrastructure. At least three Cardano implementations will be maintained in Haskell, Rust, and Go, under community oversight and formal specification management. Cardano is currently grappling with weak network activity and a sharp drop in the ADA token’s price. Founder Charles Hoskinson framed the restructuring and ecosystem-related setbacks as necessary "growing pains" on the path to full decentralization.

SoftBank's Masayoshi Son: AI boom will require $5 trillion in annual investment.

SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son stated that by 2040, global artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure will require $5 trillion in annual investment to support the expansion of data centers, power supplies, and humanoid robots, thereby driving the shift from a "human-centric" work model to a new paradigm. He pointed out that as AI evolves into Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), the revenue generated will justify these massive expenditures. "AI will revolutionize our lives—and this transformation will bring profits," Son said. (Jinshi)

South Korea's four government departments will hold a meeting on Thursday to discuss the risks of single-stock leveraged ETFs.

According to a report by The Korea Times, South Korea’s financial regulators will hold a high-level meeting on Thursday to discuss risks and countermeasures for single-stock leveraged ETFs. The meeting is expected to take place under the framework of the "F4 Meeting" — the South Korean government’s macroeconomic and financial issue coordination mechanism — with officials from the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Financial Services Commission, Financial Supervisory Service, and the Bank of Korea in attendance. Recently, volatility in South Korea’s stock market has continued to intensify, drawing growing attention from regulators and market participants to single-stock leveraged ETFs. Stakeholders believe these products have become a key factor driving sharp stock price fluctuations. An official with knowledge of the matter said regulators have been coordinating relevant plans internally in recent days, but no final policy direction has been set yet. Possible measures under market discussion include raising margin requirements, limiting daily price fluctuation ranges, and adjusting leverage multiples. However, regulatory officials noted that these measures may only provide temporary relief and cannot fundamentally resolve the structural causes of market volatility. (Jinshi)

Margin call amounts in South Korea's stock market exceeded 324 billion won last week.

South Korea's stock market has seen intensified volatility recently, with risks from leveraged trading starting to surface en masse. According to data from FreeSIS, the Korea Financial Investment Association, the total value of actual reverse transactions conducted by South Korean securities firms for unsettled funds last week (July 6 to July 10) stood at approximately 324.095 billion won. This is about 32% higher than the average of roughly 244.921 billion won over the prior five weeks, marking a week of notable elevated pressure. Compared with the relatively calm week of June 15 to June 19, last week’s figure was roughly five times that level. In terms of daily data, forced liquidation pressure in South Korea’s stock market intensified significantly on July 9. That day’s actual reverse transaction value hit around 142.197 billion won, accounting for 10.2% of unsettled funds, the highest of the week. On July 10, the amount remained at approximately 81.613 billion won, with a 5.7% share. The three preceding trading days saw figures of 39.698 billion won, 31.741 billion won, and 28.846 billion won respectively. The so-called "reverse transactions" refer to cases where, after investors buy stocks using margin or unsettled funds, if they fail to top up funds in a timely manner, securities firms will forcibly sell the relevant stocks in accordance with rules. This data is not equivalent to the number of margin liquidation cases, but it reflects the scale of forced liquidation of leveraged accounts during market downturns. Analysts note that when the index experiences consecutive corrections and individual stock declines widen, margin accounts and short-term trading accounts are more likely to face margin calls or forced liquidation pressure. If market sentiment continues to weaken, reverse transactions could further amplify intraday volatility, creating a vicious cycle of "declines → forced liquidations → further declines".

Predict.fun World Cup knockout stage: Norway's advancement probability stands at 65%, Ivory Coast secures over 30% of market support

According to data from prediction market platform Predict.fun, for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match between Ivory Coast and Norway, the implied probability of Norway advancing is approximately 65%, while that of Ivory Coast stands at 36%. The market overall favors the Norwegian side led by Erling Haaland and Martin ?degaard to progress to the next round. In terms of playing style, Ivory Coast has multiple players competing in top European leagues, with strong counterattack and individual dribbling capabilities; Norway, meanwhile, showed solid competitiveness in the group stage thanks to its tight defensive system, set-piece proficiency and aerial dominance. Although the market currently leans toward Norway advancing, it still retains over a 30% expectation for the "African Elephants" (Ivory Coast's nickname), indicating traders are monitoring the underdog's potential to pull off an upset.

Bernstein sharply raises SNDK's target price to $3,000.

Bernstein analyst Mark Newman has raised SanDisk (SNDK)’s stock price target from $1,700 to $3,000, while retaining an “Outperform” rating on the stock. The firm explained that new Long-Term Agreements (LTAs) differ from their predecessors: older LTAs were customer-biased, while the new ones come with fixed or range-bound prices, include advance payment commitments to lock in clients and protect against downside risk, and feature longer terms. Per data from the company, SanDisk’s recently signed LTAs have a floor price of $0.29 per GB, which is significantly lower than Micron’s second-quarter floor price, the analyst noted in a research report for investors.
