Odaily reports that according to Lookonchain monitoring, a whale sold 674.32 million PUMP 7 hours ago for $2.59 million USDC, incurring a loss of $409,000.

Odaily reports that the latest report from market research firm Counterpoint shows major memory suppliers are expected to set new revenue records in Q4, driven by the launch of next-generation HBM products and continued price increases. In Q3 2026, Samsung ranked first in the DRAM market with a 38% share; SK Hynix posted stronger quarter-over-quarter growth, with revenue up more than 40% QoQ, regaining some market share; Micron grew strongly on the back of AI data center memory demand, but at a slower pace than Samsung and SK Hynix; CXMT's market share rose from 5% in the same period last year to 9%.

Odaily: "White-haired stock guru" Serenity cited the latest WSJ data in a post on X, stating: "Anthropic's growth rate is indeed somewhat astonishing. As of October this year, its latest annualized revenue (run rate) has already exceeded $80 billion. This figure clearly exceeds previous market expectations. The market had generally expected its annualized revenue run rate to be around $70 billion, with a fluctuation of a few billion dollars. However, Anthropic should probably still delay its IPO. Given that the market is currently undergoing a wave of liquidations, doing so might also help ease the liquidity pressure on other AI companies."

According to Odaily: Gate data shows that the Nikkei 225 index closed down 5.96% at 57,434.77 points; South Korea's KOSPI index closed down 6.02% at 5,059.65 points, hitting a new low since April. SK Hynix fell more than 10%.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, a whale that had been dormant for over a year withdrew 1,286 BTC from Binance today, worth approximately $98.03 million, at an average withdrawal price of about $76,230. This whale had previously deposited 5,699 BTC into Binance, worth approximately $509 million, at an average deposit price of $89,291. The price at which the BTC was withdrawn this time is significantly lower than the previous deposit price, which may suggest that the whale is repositioning at lower levels.
