Chip stocks continued their decline, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index falling 10.1% intraday. The index was dragged down by US election policies and earnings reports from Arm and Qualcomm. Election results showed support for policies restricting the construction of new AI data centers, prompting Wall Street analysts to lower target prices for several AI infrastructure-related chip companies. Arm reported second-quarter revenue, profit, and outlook that all exceeded expectations, but third-quarter royalty income fell short, partly due to weak smartphone sales. Qualcomm's fourth-quarter results and current-quarter outlook slightly exceeded market expectations, but its smartphone chip sales were affected by weak market conditions. Other chip companies reported that Astera Labs' third-quarter results and fourth-quarter guidance both exceeded expectations; Coherent reported first-quarter results that exceeded expectations and raised its outlook.

Chainalysis reports that the hackers behind the $6.3 billion Binance theft are transferring some of their assets through Chinese money laundering networks, with hundreds of thousands of dollars already traced flowing into these networks. The hackers have reportedly transferred approximately $500 million through the TRON network, distributing it across more than 1,000 addresses before transferring it to networks such as Ethereum and Bitcoin. Crypto companies have frozen approximately $3 billion in stolen assets, with about $2.42 billion in BTC and ETH remaining virtually untouched since the theft, while the remaining nearly $1 billion has entered money laundering channels. A Binance spokesperson stated that they are cooperating with law enforcement, on-chain analytics companies, and stablecoin issuers to track and freeze the relevant assets. (Source: Bloomberg)
