Odaily News HSBC Global Research analyst Ricky Seo stated in a report that Samsung Electronics has reached an agreement with its labor union regarding bonus issues, suspending the previously planned strike. Seo noted, "This should further shift investors' attention towards fundamentals."

The analyst expects Samsung to reclaim its leadership in chip products such as HBM4, DDR5, and triple-level cell solid-state drives. HSBC has raised its operating profit forecast for Samsung in the second quarter by 16% to 8.7 trillion Korean won, citing stronger demand from data servers driving up chip prices. Seo indicated that this forecast would represent a 21% increase from the previous quarter and more than double compared to the same period last year. (Jinshi)

Odaily reports that, according to Chainalysis monitoring, tax evaders are turning to digital methods like Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens in an attempt to hide assets from tax authorities.

Italian authorities recently cracked down on a tax evasion case involving an individual suspected of using Bitcoin Ordinals and the BRC-20 token standard to generate and conceal unreported capital gains of 1 million euros (approximately $1.1 million). The suspect used the Ordinals protocol and the BRC-20 standard to create tokens, which were then sent and listed on the market. The assets were sold at multiples of their original cost, with the profits transferred back to the main wallet in Bitcoin, and the proceeds were continuously reinvested into new inscriptions.

Chainalysis stated that using cryptocurrencies for tax evasion has a fatal flaw: the inherent transparency of the blockchain leaves a permanent and immutable trail. (cointelegraph)

Odaily reports that Syndicate Labs stated that after five years of developing on-chain infrastructure for customizable Ethereum Rollups and sequencers, the company has decided to shut down due to a drastic contraction in the Rollup market.

This decision caused the SYND token price to drop 21% in the past three hours, hitting an all-time low of $0.012, a 99.5% decline from its peak of $2.61 in September 2025.
