New Stock God Serenity: The core of investment is identifying industry trends that the market has not yet reached a consensus on.

Serenity stated on X that its investment approach is fundamentally highly autonomous, centered on identifying industry trends not yet reaching market consensus—then conducting high-confidence extrapolations by integrating real-world observations, industry research, and revenue forecasts.

Using Raspberry Pi as an example, Serenity noted that while most investors still viewed it solely as educational or DIY hardware, he had already observed a growing number of developers deploying AI applications using both Raspberry Pi and Apple Mac Mini—and validated this trend via online tutorials. He ultimately inferred that AI would become the company’s new growth engine; subsequent earnings reports confirmed year-on-year revenue growth of 58%, significantly surpassing the prior market expectation of 14%.

Regarding AXT, Serenity explained that its investment thesis rests on in-depth research into the indium phosphide (InP) substrate supply chain and expectations of a photonics supercycle. Serenity believes AXT commands approximately 40% of the InP supply chain and holds a critical bottleneck position—making its long-term value currently underestimated.

On X-FAB, Serenity stated that the investment hypothesis remains in the validation phase. He identified the company as an emerging key player through government documents, ASE materials, and broader industry intelligence—and noted that NVIDIA is currently evaluating X-FAB’s relevant capabilities. Serenity plans to closely monitor developments over the coming months for further evidence supporting this investment logic.

Serenity emphasized that many current investment opportunities stem from synthesizing fragmented information, real-world trends, and industrial shifts—not just traditional valuation models.

“New Stock God” Serenity: A New Cycle of AI Advanced Packaging Is Approaching, and the Glass Substrate Industry Chain Is Reaching a Critical Juncture

“Serenity,” dubbed the “new stock god,” posted on X stating that a new cycle for AI advanced packaging is approaching. Serenity also shared recent timelines and key market participants in the glass substrate supply chain.

Specifically: SKC Absolics plans to begin mass production in the second half of 2026, primarily serving AMD customers; Samsung Electro-Mechanics × Sumitomo Chemical plans to begin mass production in the second half of 2027, primarily serving Apple, Broadcom, and major cloud computing providers; TSMC’s CoPoS roadmap forecasts for the next 2–3 years are largely accurate; Innolux is one of the beneficiaries, and SHMD may also benefit—though its financial condition remains relatively weak.

Serenity believes participants across the relevant supply chain could benefit multiple times—for example, Innolux and SKC—and upstream equipment suppliers will likewise benefit from these waves of mass production.

Over the past six years, South Korea’s five major virtual asset platforms have experienced 57 hacking incidents and system failures, with total compensation amounting to 7 billion Korean Won.

South Korea’s top five virtual asset trading platforms—Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax—experienced a total of 57 hacking incidents and system failures over the past six years (from 2020 to April 2026), with total compensation amounting to approximately 7 billion KRW (about $5.1 million). By exchange, the number of incidents was as follows: Upbit: 26; Bithumb: 14; Gopax: 8; Coinone: 6; Korbit: 3.

Among these, Bithumb compensated approximately 2.5 billion KRW (about $1.8 million) for its February BTC misdisbursement incident this year; Upbit compensated approximately 790 million KRW (about $570,000) for its November 2025 hacking incident and approximately 3.2 billion KRW (about $2.3 million) for its system failure on December 3, 2024.

Notably, reporting standards for exchange incidents—and the scale and form of compensation—vary significantly across platforms. For example, Gopax counts errors encountered while viewing asset lists as system failures, whereas Bithumb defines a system failure only when all customers experience difficulties using core services for more than 10 minutes.

Additionally, Bithumb issued free fee vouchers—not cash compensation—to certain applicants who incurred losses due to system failures. System-failure compensation amounts were approximately 3.21 billion KRW for Upbit, approximately 3.2 billion KRW for Bithumb, and approximately 49 million KRW for Coinone. Neither Korbit nor Gopax provided any compensation.

100 Days Since the Outbreak of the US-Israel-Iran War

Today (June 7), marks the 100th day since the outbreak of the US-Iran war. Since the large-scale airstrikes by the United States and Israel on Iran and Iran’s counterattack began on February 28 this year, the intense military conflict has lasted for 40 days.

Although a temporary ceasefire agreement was reached shortly after, and the US and Iran held their first round of negotiations under Pakistan’s mediation, the second round of negotiations has been delayed until now. Currently, differences remain between Iran and the US regarding the negotiations, and there has always been a lack of mutual trust between the two sides.

Furthermore, Israel’s escalation of the situation in Lebanon, disruption of negotiations, and frequent military friction between Iran and the US over the Strait of Hormuz have made the prospects for peace increasingly uncertain.

RichSilo Visions:

Today’s Market Pulse

The crypto market continues its integration with traditional finance as institutional players accelerate ETF applications and strategic accumulation, while macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical tensions create both volatility and opportunity.

Key Themes

Institutional Onslaught & ETF Expansion
What’s happening: Grayscale filed for a spot Canton token CC ETF, continuing the trend of traditional finance entering crypto. Concurrently, Hex Trust accumulated 6.42% of the circulating supply of H tokens ($121 million), while a whale withdrew 1,723 BTC ($105M) from OKX.
Why it matters: These moves signal increasing institutional acceptance and sophisticated positioning in digital assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Near-term implication: We may see accelerated ETF applications for other altcoins, potentially bringing significant inflows but also increased regulatory scrutiny.

Macro Crosscurrents & Geopolitical Risks
What’s happening: The Fed faces critical decisions amid upcoming CPI data, while China continues gold accumulation (19th consecutive month). The US-Israel-Iran conflict marks 100 days with uncertain peace prospects.
Why it matters: Geopolitical tensions and monetary policy shifts continue to drive capital flows toward both traditional safe havens (gold) and digital assets as hedges.
Near-term implication: Heightened volatility around macro data releases, with potential flight-to-quality benefiting both gold and established cryptocurrencies.

AI-Driven Investment Revolution
What’s happening: “New Stock God” Serenity highlights AI advanced packaging cycles approaching critical junctures, while Tom Lee emphasizes crypto’s essential role in AI ecosystems.
Why it matters: Investment strategies are increasingly focused on identifying nascent industry trends before market consensus forms, particularly in AI infrastructure.
Near-term implication: Accelerated capital allocation toward crypto projects enabling AI ecosystems, with potential outperformance for specialized infrastructure tokens.

RichSilo Verdict

Smart money should monitor the Canton ETF approval process as a potential catalyst for broader altcoin adoption, while closely tracking Fed policy pivots that could trigger risk-on sentiment in crypto. The convergence of AI and blockchain infrastructure represents a multi-year opportunity, but escalating geopolitical tensions and exchange security vulnerabilities (particularly in South Korea) pose significant risks to near-term stability. Diversification between established infrastructure and emerging AI-enabling protocols will be key to navigating this complex landscape.
