Samsung workers have threatened to initiate an 18-day strike starting May 21, potentially affecting approximately 3% of global memory chip production. According to BlockBeats On-chain Detection, the news has quickly spread, leading to a positive impact on competitors like Micron Technology, whose shares rose by 4.8%, reaching a market capitalization of $900 billion for the first time at closing. The strong market response has also led to increased trading activity on-chain. The Hyperliquid platform saw its MU contract trading volume surge to $140 million, with open interest rising to $152 million, placing it among the top ten in platform trading volume and the largest contract among U.S. stock targets, excluding the three major indices. The largest MU long position on-chain was taken by a whale using 3x leverage to long 22,188 MU contracts, with a position valued at approximately $17.7 million. After two weeks of building this position, the whale has achieved a floating profit of $4.9 million, marking a 62% increase. Address: 0x577ae91c7b74f04ddb3a5b399ded8318e9895fd2
