Fractal to Destroy Over 4.1 Million FB During First Halving and Advance FIP-102 Proposal

On August 8, Lorenzo, the founder of the Bitcoin scaling network Fractal supported by UniSat, announced that Fractal will permanently destroy a total of 4,101,541 FB around the expected first halving on September 9. This includes the remaining rewards from FIP-101, undistributed rewards from public testing, and ecological allocations for the second year. A draft proposal for FIP-102 will be released tomorrow, which aims to redistribute 50% of the token issuance after the halving to support the native issuance of FB on the Bitcoin mainnet, reducing Fractal's block reward to 6.25 FB without increasing the total supply. FIP-103 will define the specific distribution mechanism. Additionally, UniSat plans to purchase $200,000 worth of FB from the open market each month for five consecutive months, totaling $1 million, as a long-term strategic reserve, and will lock it on-chain for at least five years.

  • Morgan Stanley: 2028 as a Key Observation Point for Global Memory Competition Landscape

    On August 29, Morgan Stanley pointed out that the rise of Chinese memory manufacturers should not be viewed merely as a technological catch-up or low-cost substitution; what is truly noteworthy is that their production capacity may gradually become large enough to alter the supply structure of the global memory market. Changxin Technology and Yangtze Memory Technologies are currently entering the mainstream product market and gradually extending into high-profit markets such as HBM, high-end server DRAM, and enterprise SSDs. Morgan Stanley considers 2028 as an important observation point for the global memory competition landscape. From 2026 to 2027, demand for AI servers, capacity crowding of advanced wafers by HBM, import substitution, and the time required for customer certification may absorb most of the new supply from Chinese memory manufacturers. By 2028, as Chinese manufacturers expand production, the additional capacity from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, which had previously initiated expansions, will also be released. At that time, the supply variables in the global memory market will significantly increase. Morgan Stanley estimates that Changxin's DRAM monthly production capacity will rise from 180,000 wafers in 2025 to 300,000 in 2026, accounting for approximately 13% of global DRAM wafer capacity and about 11% of bit shipments; by 2028, it is expected to further increase to 500,000 wafers, and by 2031, it could reach 800,000 wafers. If the expansion proceeds smoothly, Changxin's global DRAM bit shipment market share could approach 15% by 2030, and it may even have the opportunity to surpass Micron in production capacity around 2028, becoming the third-largest DRAM supplier in the world.
