#SK海力士跌近7% #美股财报季 The decline in storage and AI chip stocks this time was mainly due to profit-taking after a strong rally, prompted by the U.S. midterm election results. Storage demand itself has not noticeably weakened; the market is reassessing the pace of AI data center construction.
On November 5, SK Hynix fell about 6.7%, while Samsung Electronics also dropped nearly 6%.
Why it looks more like profit-taking
Big gains and crowded positioning: SK Hynix and Samsung were the stocks with the largest net foreign selling this year, as investors rebalanced their portfolios.
Orders are still there: SK Hynix said its DRAM and HBM capacity is nearly sold out through 2029.
The shortage isn’t over: The industry expects the memory shortage to continue until around 2030.
What the market is reassessing
Data center approvals may tighten: After Democrats won both chambers, Goldman Sachs estimated that about 45% of new capacity could be affected.
New projects may be delayed: Rising grid costs and stricter approvals could slow cloud providers’ expansions.
Returns on AI investment questioned: Tech giants are issuing debt to fund AI, making some investors worry they won’t earn that money back.
So for now, it’s “valuation comes down first,” not “the AI storage thesis is broken.”
The main things to watch next are whether U.S. data center investment really slows and whether HBM orders can keep capacity fully utilized.#WCTCS9 $SK Hynix ‌

🛡️ Gate pioneers PoSEC: Asset security goes beyond reserves

Adequate exchange reserves are important, but how those assets are stored is equally worth attention.

Gate has officially launched the industry’s first PoSEC fund security proof system, making asset storage structures and risk coverage capabilities more transparent.

📊 Cold storage coverage reaches 104.58%
🔐 88.26% of stored assets are held in cold storage
✅ An independent third-party audit mechanism has been introduced, with verification underway

From PoR proof of reserves to PoSEC proof of fund security, Gate is driving asset security beyond “adequate reserves” toward “verifiably secure storage.”

💬 When choosing an exchange, what other security data would you like the platform to disclose besides its reserve ratio?

Come to Gate Square with #Gate推出行业首个资金安全证明 to share your views and discuss asset security and transparency.
