Deutsche Bank said tokenization could reshape traditional financial markets by changing how banks manage liquidity and transact in short-term funding markets. According to NS3.AI, the bank said the technology could lower banks' reserve requirements and increase intraday repo transactions. The comments follow Deutsche Bank’s earlier move into the sector. Last year, the bank announced plans to launch an early version of a real-world asset tokenization platform.

MediaTek has largely confirmed a second ASIC customer beyond Google, and the customer is expected to be Meta, according to supply chain information cited by Citrini analyst Jukan in a post on X. According to Odaily, MediaTek typically does not publicly comment on individual products, customers, or market rumors. The report said Qualcomm appears to currently hold key customers including Meta, Microsoft, and ByteDance, but industry sources believe MediaTek is not at a disadvantage as it continues to deepen cooperation with Google and may secure a second customer. Supply chain sources said that among major cloud service providers, Google is viewed as the most proactive customer in ordering AI data center and ASIC products and in driving generational transitions. The report added that MediaTek has two products codenamed Zebrafish and Humufish, and market information and ASIC industry sources said its participation in the v9-generation Triggerfish is nearly certain. This would mean MediaTek could receive stable revenue contributions from TPU mass production from late 2026 through 2028, and potentially extending to 2029. The report compared this with Qualcomm’s stated 2029 cloud AI revenue target of $15 billion, adding that industry sources see MediaTek reaching a $10 billion level as a matter of time if it holds multiple TPU ASIC orders. Industry attention is also focused on whether MediaTek can secure a second major cloud service provider customer. The report said earlier market information and recent supply chain confirmation indicate MediaTek is still actively working with Meta on ASIC products, likely centered on AI accelerator chips. Meta has recently reached partnerships with Arm and Qualcomm, but the report said those products are aimed at CPUs, with no clearer cooperation disclosed for self-developed AI accelerator chips. IC design industry sources said Meta’s recent cloud AI strategy has been relatively unclear, with internal chip development plans adjusted multiple times and multiple partners sought for CPUs. They added that although Meta previously announced a cooperation plan with Broadcom, supply chain information indicates this has not halted the MediaTek-Meta cooperation plan. The report said MediaTek and Qualcomm have different cloud AI approaches, with MediaTek concentrating resources on ASICs while Qualcomm plans to advance both customized and standardized products across AI accelerators and CPUs.

SOL traded near $77 after a 16% weekly bounce, but remained about 74% below its record high of $293. On-chain activity is climbing toward yearly highs, according to BeInCrypto, with active addresses retesting just below 7 million and seven-day average transactions per second trending toward 1,100. Technically, SOL is defending the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement near $73, with resistance around $80 and then $120. BeInCrypto said a daily close above $80 could open a path toward $100 and $120, while a break below $73 could revisit $63; the Alpenglow consensus upgrade in the third quarter is cited as a potential catalyst.

Asian stocks were set to decline Thursday as a selloff in US chipmakers weighed on sentiment and investors assessed fresh remarks from Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, according to Bloomberg.

US stocks finished slightly lower on Wednesday as technology shares fell, while gains in Meta Platforms helped limit declines in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, according to RTHK. Chipmakers were among the biggest drags, with an index of semiconductors ending 6.3% lower, and technology leading declines among S&P 500 sectors. Some market participants cited concerns about lofty valuations and heavy AI spending by tech companies. Meta shares rallied 8.8% after Bloomberg News reported the company is building a cloud business to sell excess AI computing capacity. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh also said inflation risks had eased recently. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 13 points, or 0.03%, to 52,305. The S&P 500 lost 16 points, or 0.2%, to 7,483, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 173 points, or 0.7%, to 26,040. Warsh said he would stick firmly to the US central bank's 2% inflation target and would "disappoint" anyone expecting loose monetary policy despite U.S. President Donald Trump's call for interest rate cuts. Traders slightly pared rate-hike expectations during his remarks but still expect at least one hike this year, according to LSEG data. Investors also digested Institute for Supply Management data showing US manufacturing activity slowed in June but remained solid. Alcoa shares fell 8.9% after Australia's South32 agreed to sell most of its aluminium assets to Alcoa. The key monthly US jobs report is due out on Thursday, with the market closed on Friday ahead of the Fourth of July holiday.
