According to BlockBeats, on July 25, Kim Yong-beom, Chief of Staff for Policy at the South Korean Presidential Office, stated that Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and global technology giants including Nvidia (NVDA.O) have reached agreements to undertake a series of collaborative projects worth a total of $950 billion. Kim Yong-beom explained that these projects include a long-term agreement.

Under the agreement, SK Group will supply $750 billion worth of high-performance semiconductors to global technology companies, including Nvidia. In addition, Samsung Electronics will supply $200 billion worth of chips to Broadcom (AVGO.O).

According to BlockBeats, on July 25, market sources reported that Samsung Electronics and Broadcom signed a memorandum of understanding, reaching a five-year, $200 billion advanced memory chip foundry agreement.

According to BlockBeats, on July 25th, local time on the evening of July 24th, US President Trump attended the 2026 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Waldorf Hotel in Washington, D.C. (originally scheduled for April 25th, but postponed due to the attack). Near the end of his speech, Trump put on a red "Trump 2028" hat and joked, "I'm happy to announce my intention—this is a bit of an exclusive—I intend to run for a fourth term as President of the United States, and I will do it." He then added, "It should be easy; I'm getting better and better at running for president now."

During this segment, Trump reiterated his claim that he had actually won the 2020 election—a claim later clarified by the media in their reports, which stated that "he did not win."

According to the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a president can only be elected for a maximum of two terms. Trump is currently in his second and last term allowed by the Constitution, and theoretically does not qualify to run for a fourth term.

According to BlockBeats, on July 25, Singapore-based Poolin Technology Pte. Ltd. and its two US subsidiaries, Lonestar Dream and Lonestar Taproot, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the New Jersey Bankruptcy Court on July 22, marking one of the most significant institutional collapses in the mining industry in recent years.

Court documents show that Poolin's liabilities range from $100 million to $500 million, specifically approximately $173.1 million, while its assets are less than $10 million; the number of creditors ranges from 10,000 to 25,000. The largest debt is approximately $163.7 million, involving about 11,700 "Poolin Wallet" users. The root of this debt dates back to September 2022, when, impacted by the cryptocurrency market crash, Poolin misappropriated user assets for lending, resulting in liquidation. Subsequently, it froze wallets and account withdrawals, claiming "liquidity problems," and used IOU tokens to repay users' real Bitcoin. This debt has remained unpaid for three years.

Founded in Beijing in 2017 by Bitmain veterans Kevin Pan and Fa Zhu, Poolin once controlled approximately 18%-20% of the network's hashrate at its peak in 2019, making it one of the world's largest Bitcoin mining pools at the time. Following the mining ban in 2021, the company moved its operations to Texas, USA. However, due to a severe shortage of electricity quotas (originally expected to be 600 megawatts, but only 100 megawatts were actually obtained), it was forced to sell off idle equipment at low prices, resulting in a loss of approximately $8.8 million between 2023 and 2025. The Texas operations accumulated losses of nearly $45.9 million and were completely shut down on July 10th, with no plans to restart.

The company's only hope for debt repayment is to auction off its two West Texas mining assets. Thor CALAP LLC has put forward a "barrier bid" of $52 million as the starting price for the auction, but this amount is far from enough to cover the total liabilities of $173 million, and creditors expect to receive only partial repayment.
