According to The Korea Times, South Korea’s presidential office stated Sunday that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will unveil major investment plans at a meeting chaired by President Lee Jae-myung on Monday. The investments will be announced at a briefing held at Cheong Wa Dae at 2 p.m. KST (1 p.m. Beijing Time) Monday, as part of the government’s push to advance its "three mega projects" aimed at balanced regional development. A presidential spokesperson added that the initiative is jointly driven by the ministries of trade, science and technology, transport, and energy. Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong and SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won will attend the event and participate in discussions with other attendees. Industry observers expect the two chipmakers to invest over 1,000 trillion won (approximately $650 billion) over the next decade, with potential plans to develop a semiconductor industrial cluster in the southwestern Honam region. Lee Jae-myung called the investment a "historic achievement" and a policy initiative that could transform South Korea’s fate during a Saturday address.

Bitcoin briefly dipped below $60,000 over the weekend, logging a roughly 7% decline in the past week. As the second quarter draws to a close, Bitcoin is on track to post a roughly 12% quarterly drop, following a 22% fall in the first quarter, which would mark a rare back-to-back quarterly loss in its history. Meanwhile, altcoins have generally seen steeper declines than Bitcoin: Ethereum fell around 9.5% in the past week, Dogecoin dropped 11.7%, HYPE slipped 10.6%, XRP declined 8.7%, Solana fell 3.5%, and TRON saw a roughly 1.5% drop. Analysts attribute the market’s ongoing pressure to multiple factors, including sustained capital flows into AI-driven semiconductor and memory chip sectors, persistent outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance, and the U.S. Dollar Index staying at high levels. The market will watch closely for ETF capital flows and demand improvements in the third quarter to judge whether the crypto market can shake off its weak performance in the first half of the year.
