The AI supply chain debate is shifting from GPUs to memory. South Korea has announced a massive semiconductor and AI investment push, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix each set to build two new large-scale chip fabrication facilities in the country’s southwest region. The broader project is designed to create a chip production ecosystem valued at roughly 800 trillion won, or about $518 billion, as Seoul tries to strengthen its position in the global AI infrastructure race. At almost the same time, Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron Technology were hit with a U.S. class-action antitrust lawsuit alleging that the three memory giants coordinated to restrict conventional DRAM supply while shifting capacity toward high-bandwidth memory, or HBM. The allegations have not been proven in court, and Micron has denied the claims, saying it competes fairly and lawfully. Micron stock became the market’s live stress test. MU fell as low as about $1,024.86 intraday on June 29 before closing at $1,145.28, slightly above the previous close. The move suggests that investors are not abandoning the AI memory bull case, but they are starting to price its side effects: legal risk, downstream cost pressure and the possibility that memory inflation could become a problem for the wider AI economy.

The Federal Reserve kept its target rate unchanged at 3.50%–3.75% at the June FOMC meeting, but crypto markets did not read the decision as a dovish signal. The statement continued to highlight inflation above the Fed’s 2% goal, while updated rate-path expectations pointed to a higher-for-longer policy setup. For BTC, ETH and high-beta tokens, the issue is not simply that the Fed did not cut rates. The bigger signal is that liquidity relief remains delayed, and the market is repricing the possibility that monetary policy may stay restrictive for longer.

The topic “Largest Company end of June: Alphabet or NVIDIA” focuses on which company may have the higher market capitalization by the end of June 2026: Alphabet or NVIDIA. This is not a simple stock-price question. Market capitalization depends on both share price and shares outstanding. Even if one company’s stock rises faster, changes in share count, buybacks, investor expectations, earnings results, AI demand, advertising trends, cloud growth, and macro conditions can all influence the final ranking.
