+_SK Hynix ($SKHY), South Korea’s dominant memory-chip maker and global leader in High-Bandwidth Memory, is now live on Solana through [Sunrise](https://sunrise.xyz/) via Backpack Securities, [xStocks](https://xstocks.fi/), and [Ondo](https://ondo.finance/)._
+
+**TL;DR**
+
+- South Korea’s memory leader SK Hynix is now listed on Nasdaq and tradable on Solana
+- $SKHY through Sunrise via Backpack Securities, eligible investors can access a 1:1 redeemable tokenized stock tradable and composable within Solana DeFi
+- $SKHYx from xStocks is fully collateralized 1:1 by the underlying shares held with a regulated custodian, and transferable 24/7
+- $SKHYon from Ondo is a total-return token backed 1:1 at US-registered broker-dealers, transferable 24/7 with 24/5 minting and redemption
+- **SK Hynix controls \~59% of the global HBM market**, 70% of Nvidia’s HBM4 chip allocation, and the entire 2026 supply is sold out. 
+- High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is the densely stacked DRAM that enables modern GPUs and advanced AI compute
+- **Internet Capital Markets**: $SKHY’s listing represents the largest foreign share offering since Alibaba’s IPO in 2014 and it’s available on Solana from day one
+
+## **SK Hynix: The memory supercycle hits Nasdaq**
+
+[SK Hynix](https://www.skhynix.com/) has been publicly traded in Korea for decades, but its American Depositary Receipt (ADR) debut today is historic. The company is raising approximately **$28 billion**, marking the [largest stock issuance](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/sk-hynixs-28-billion-nasdaq-162700620.html) from a foreign company in U.S. markets. Proceeds from this offering will fund the Yongin “Y1” mega-fab and next-gen HBM4 production lines at a time when memory bandwidth is the primary bottleneck in AI infrastructure.
+
+**What SK Hynix Builds**
+
+SK Hynix builds three kinds of memory:
+
+- **DRAM,** which is the fast memory found in computers, phones, and servers tasked with holding temporary data for active applications;
+- **NAND flash,** which is the hardware inside Solid State Drives (SSDs), phones, and memory cards that keeps data intact even when the power is off, and most critically;
+- **High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM),** which is a specialized, ultra-premium variant of DRAM where memory chips are stacked vertically like skyscrapers and linked by microscopic wires. 
+
+**Why HBM Matters for AI**\
+Traditional DRAM lays chips flat across a board, requiring data to travel comparatively long horizontal distances between memory and the processor. HBM, however, stacks chips vertically like floors in a skyscraper and connects each layer through microscopic wires, allowing for memory to be placed in stacks mere millimeters from the GPU. The result: up to 10x higher bandwidth, exactly what large language models and AI training demand.
+
+**The Supercycle is Here**
+
+Demand for HBM has ignited a semiconductor supercycle. SK Hynix commands:
+
+- **Approximately 59%** share of the global HBM market.
+- **Roughly 70%** of Nvidia’s HBM4 allocation under contract.
+- A fully sold-out 2026 HBM production pipeline
+
+Nvidia now accounts for **about 27% of SK Hynix revenue**. In June 2026, SK Hynix overtook Samsung to become South Korea’s most valuable listed company.
+
+## **The $SKHY listing**
+
+For the first time, [investors outside Korea will be able to buy SK Hynix](https://www.barrons.com/articles/sk-hynix-stock-lisying-oversubscribed-price-48dcc885) through an ordinary U.S. brokerage. Each ADR represents ownership in the underlying Korean shares (via a depositary bank), broadening the investor base and opening the door to passive index inclusion and large U.S. institutional flows. This listing could help close a historical valuation discount versus SK Hynix’s U.S. peers like Micron, as access expands. The Nasdaq listing expands who can own SK Hynix and bringing $SKHY to Solana changes where, when, and how that exposure can trade. 
+
+## **Three Issuers, One Network: Internet Capital Markets**
+
+On day one, SK Hynix exposure is live on Solana through three issuers, each with its own structure:
+
+- [**Backpack Securities**](https://backpack.exchange/) issues $SKHY, a tokenized security redeemable 1:1 into the corresponding security entitlement, enabling investors to move and trade it between Solana, Backpack Securities, and other traditional brokerages. Dividends reflected through onchain rebasing.
+- [**xStocks**](https://xstocks.fi/) lists $SKHYx, fully collateralized 1:1 by the underlying shares held with a regulated custodian, transferable 24/7, with corporate actions like dividends reflected onchain automatically.
+- [**Ondo**](https://ondo.finance/) lists $SKHYon, a total-return token backed 1:1 by shares held at US-registered broker-dealers,  transferable 24/7, with dividends automatically reinvested and 24/5 minting and redemption.
+
+Across all three, investors receive the same economic exposure as the Nasdaq ADR, with the added benefits of 24/7 global trading, self-custody, and Solana DeFi composability.

+
+## **From Seoul to Solana**
+
+SK Hynix's Nasdaq debut expands access to a foundational AI infrastructure company. By bringing $SKHY to Solana on day one, Sunrise with Backpack Securities, xStocks, and Ondo are extending that access to Solana's Internet Capital Markets.
+
+**$SKHY may begin trading on Nasdaq, but on Solana, *the market never closes*.**
