Coinbase, through its subsidiary Coinbase Financial Markets (CFM), has officially launched regulated derivatives contracts for eligible Canadian traders, becoming the first major crypto platform to offer native crypto futures in Canada. The product lineup includes 23 perpetual and term futures on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and others, plus five commodity futures (gold, silver, oil) and the COIN50 index, all with up to 10x leverage.

Previously, Canadian investors lacked access to regulated crypto derivatives and relied on off-shore or unregulated platforms.

Taiwan memory makers Nanya Technology and ESMT both posted record monthly revenue in July as the DRAM upcycle continued, with higher prices doing most of the work. Nanya reported consolidated revenue of NT$43.868 billion for the month, up 49.27% from June and 719.61% from a year earlier, marking its ninth straight monthly high. ESMT posted NT$6.785 billion, up 40.02% month over month and 491.06% year over year, also a record. The report said the latest rally is being driven by pricing rather than shipment growth. In Nanya’s case, second-quarter DRAM average selling prices rose more than 60% from the previous quarter while bit shipments were nearly flat, meaning the jump in revenue and profit came largely from stronger pricing. Supply remains tight as AI infrastructure demand keeps pulling wafer capacity and R&D resources toward HBM, LPDDR5 and DDR5 at Samsung, SK hynix and Micron, squeezing legacy DRAM lines such as DDR4, LPDDR4, DDR3 and DDR2. Spot prices have moved in the same direction. CFM Memory data showed DDR4 8Gb 3200 rose 12.82% in a single week, while DDR5 24Gb and DDR5 16Gb both climbed 14.29%.

ETHZilla said it will rebrand as Forum Markets and trade under the ticker FRMM, marking a shift away from its Ethereum treasury model toward RWA tokenization. Its stock rose more than 13% after the announcement.

Peter Thiel has sold his entire stake in ETHZilla. The company has reduced its ETH holdings to 69,802 ETH, used sales proceeds for buybacks and debt repayment, and shifted attention to tokenized home loans and aircraft engines.

ETHZilla launches Eurus Aero Token I, tokenizing Boeing 737-800 engines. Tokens at $100 each, 11% target annual return, collateralized with engines, insurance, and lease receivables. Plans to expand to car and home loans.

On-chain traders are assigning a far richer valuation to ChangXin Memory Technologies than its upcoming listing price suggests. According to Hyperinsight, the CXMT Pre-IPO contract on Hyperliquid was hovering around $8.0 on July 15. Based on 66.881 billion shares outstanding after issuance, that points to an implied market capitalization of roughly $535 billion, or about RMB 3.63 trillion. ChangXin Technology, the listed entity, is set to open subscriptions for its STAR Market IPO on July 16 at RMB 8.66 per share, about $1.28, with a planned listing date of July 27. On that basis, the on-chain mark price represents a premium of about 526%, and the implied valuation is 6.3 times the market cap derived from the offer price, or about $85.4 billion. BlockBeats also cited CFM Flash Market data showing that ChangXin Memory generated about $7.309 billion in DRAM revenue in the first quarter of 2026, lifting its market share to 7.7% and placing it fourth globally. SemiAnalysis estimates its monthly wafer capacity could reach about 350,000 by the end of 2026, close to Micron’s roughly 385,000.
