A recent breakdown of a semiconductor joint venture between Taiwan's Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) and Japan's SBI Holdings has led to differing statements between the parties involved. However, industry insiders had long anticipated this outcome. While the Japanese side accuses the Taiwanese company of breaking promises, supply chain sources suggest that Japan may need to shoulder half the responsibility.
SBI Holdings is a Japan-based holding company that owns and operates businesses in areas such as asset management, investments, crypto-assets and financials.
