A DigiTimes report said next-generation HBM4 pricing could rise from $2 per kilobit to $4-$5 or higher in the second half of 2026, as AI demand accelerates and structural capacity constraints tighten supply. The report points to two main drivers. First, HBM4 is difficult to manufacture: production takes four to six months, and initial yields are meaningfully low. Second, HBM production consumes about three times the wafer capacity required for standard DDR5 DRAM, limiting how much total memory output manufacturers can produce with existing facilities. The item was cited by BlockBeats on July 12, with Jin10 referenced as the source carrying the report details. The report focuses on memory pricing pressure tied to supply-side bottlenecks rather than a short-term market move.

A packed calendar is set for July 13-19, with U.S. inflation data, congressional hearings and several crypto-specific developments all scheduled within the same week. The most closely watched macro events are the June Consumer Price Index on July 14 and the June Producer Price Index on July 15.

In crypto, a New York court is set to hear arguments in a dispute over ownership claims tied to 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets after a judge paused the underlying case.

Bitcoin’s BIP-110 proposal is approaching an early August deadline, yet miner backing remains below 1% and the current signaling cycle is still at 0, according to ChainCatcher. No major mining pool has supported the proposal so far. BIP-110, formally described as a temporary soft fork to reduce data usage, would limit OP_RETURN data capacity within a year, block most arbitrary data writes above 256 bytes, and restrict some script formats commonly used for data storage. The proposal uses a user-activated soft fork model and sets a 55% miner signaling threshold. Data cited in the report shows that nodes running BIP-110 software remain in the single digits as a share of the network, with most support coming from Bitcoin Knots users. The current signaling window is expected to end near block height 959,615. The proposal is projected to enter a voluntary lock-in period in early August and target activation around September. Strategy founder Michael Saylor and Blockstream co-founder Adam Back have both publicly opposed BIP-110. If broad support still fails to materialize, the report said a minority of nodes could split into a separate chain.

Coinbase has completed compliance work under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, or MiCA, according to a post from CEO Brian Armstrong cited by Techub News. Armstrong said the exchange is now operating as a regulated platform in the EU. Coinbase also announced a deposit rewards program for Coinbase One members in the region. Under MiCA, crypto exchanges must meet strict standards on capital adequacy, operational transparency, and consumer protection. The update is notable because Coinbase is a publicly listed U.S. exchange, and the company’s progress places it within Europe’s unified regulatory framework for digital assets.

Turkish prosecutors have filed an indictment against a large money-laundering network linked to the Grand Bazaar, according to Hürriyet Daily News. The case involves nearly 40 billion Turkish lira, or about $850 million. The indictment names 504 suspects and accuses them of using shell companies, bank accounts, foreign exchange offices, POS terminals, and cryptocurrency transactions to conceal illicit proceeds. Prosecutors also allege that the suspects converted criminal funds into crypto and moved them abroad, while luring victims into fraudulent investment schemes with promises of high returns. In the filing, prosecutors are seeking up to 34.5 years in prison for alleged ringleader Türker Ak and up to 31 years for alleged network manager Murat Dönmezoğlu.

Crypto analyst Ali Charts said $64,700 is the key level to watch for Bitcoin’s next move. In his view, failure to break above the top of the current channel at $64,700 could open the door to a deeper pullback. If sellers defend that area, Bitcoin may fall back to the channel’s mid-range support at $63,000 and could then test the lower boundary near $61,500. Ali Charts added that a bearish setup would be invalidated if Bitcoin posts an hourly close above $64,700. If that happens, the next upside target could be $66,400, followed by a second target at $68,000, according to his analysis.
