Bitget Wallet has opened the first subscription for SpaceX’s tokenized IPO stock, SPCXx, with a total quota of $3 million. The minimum subscription amount is $10 per user, and the maximum per user is $5,000—on a first-come, first-served basis. SPCXx is issued by xStocks, a tokenized stock trading platform. The subscription price is $135, and underwriters will charge an additional 5% fee. Subscriptions open at 4:00 PM Beijing Time on June 9 and close at 4:00 PM Beijing Time on June 11.

BIT Group posted on X platform, stating that with only days remaining until the SpaceX IPO, market expectations are heating up, with a general consensus that the stock is likely to perform well post-listing. Unlike many recent IPOs, there are currently few signs that SpaceX will raise its offering price, indicating that the target fundraising amount of $75 billion has already received fairly sufficient subscription coverage.Meanwhile, SpaceX-related pre-IPO synthetic perpetual contracts are trading at around $157 on Hyperliquid (calculated based on the old 11.9 billion share count) and quoting $169 on Binance, both significantly higher than the expected IPO price of $135. Although prices have fallen from around $200 a few days ago and undergone a repricing, the current implied valuations on both platforms still approach nearly $2 trillion, indicating that traders still anticipate a strong market debut for SpaceX. Prediction markets are also leaning towards optimism, with the current probability of SpaceX's valuation exceeding $2 trillion by the end of the year standing at 68%.
sources familiar with the matter have revealed that Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are exploring trading methods based on the cost of computing power, including futures contracts linked to GPU rental prices. As one of the scarcest resources amid the AI boom, related futures for GPUs are expected to be listed on exchanges later this year.Industry insiders stated that this move reflects how the influx of hundreds of billions of dollars into data centers and the chip sector is reshaping the financial market landscape. For banks financing the construction of AI infrastructure, such innovative instruments could become a new means of risk management. (The Information)
Jiang Zhuoer posted on platform X, stating that after selling 32 BTC, Strategy raised $181 million through the sale of common stock to purchase 1,550 BTC (approximately $100 million), with the remaining funds held as cash reserves. This move sustained MicroStrategy's "unshakable faith," as the amount of BTC bought far exceeded the amount sold, aligning with the principle of maximizing benefits. Jiang Zhuoer also stated that the current price is in an upward channel, and he will wait for further price increases before considering selling.Jiang Zhuoer added that as a "BTC maximalist" focused on coin-based holdings, his norm is to hold a full spot position, and therefore he has not opened short positions. The purpose of his swing trading operations is to increase the total number of coins held.
: According to sources, London-based digital bank and financial super app Revolut is quietly seeking a round of secondary equity transactions, targeting a valuation of $115 billion. If successful, this valuation would surpass Barclays and Deutsche Bank, and approach the scale of BNP Paribas.Founded in 2015 and led by CEO Nik Storonsky, Revolut plans to conduct multiple rounds of secondary transactions before its IPO to provide liquidity for internal shareholders while gauging the market's tolerance for its valuation. Storonsky has stated that an IPO is still at least two years away.Based on current revenue of $600 million and profits of $2.3 billion, the $115 billion valuation would give it a price-to-earnings ratio similar to high-growth technology companies. If the transaction goes through, Storonsky's stake would be worth at least $36 billion, placing him among the world's wealthiest fintech founders.Previously, Revolut was already Europe's most valuable private technology company at a valuation of $75 billion. A $115 billion valuation would now propel it into the ranks of top global financial institutions, setting a high bar for its future IPO and signaling investors' optimistic outlook on the company's valuation.

Odaily Seer monitoring shows that the probability of "SpaceX raising $70B-$80B in its IPO" on Polymarket is now at 88%, up 20% intraday.The market settles based on the total funds raised at the time of SpaceX's IPO pricing, according to data disclosed in the SEC's final prospectus. Over-allotment option shares are not counted, nor are private secondary transactions. If the amount raised falls exactly at a boundary point, it settles at the higher bracket; if the IPO is not completed by December 31, 2026, it settles at the lowest bracket.Previous news: Elon Musk's SpaceX disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday that it plans to fix the offering price at $135 per share (consistent with the price disclosed by sources) before officially launching IPO roadshow activities. SpaceX stated it plans to issue 555.6 million shares, thereby raising $75 billion.Odaily Seer continues to monitor the prediction market, seeing changes before the price is set.
According to The Block, the number of monthly crypto venture capital deals in May 2026 dropped to approximately 50—the lowest level since before 2021. Both historically most active sectors—infrastructure and crypto financial services—fell to multi-year lows. A large-scale shift of investor attention toward the AI sector, coupled with a shortage of high-quality early-stage projects, are the primary drivers behind this decline in deal volume. Although the number of deals declined, total funding remained relatively high, exhibiting a “fewer deals, larger amounts” pattern—the recent $1 billion fundraising round by prediction market platform Kalshi being a prime example. Analysts note that the current low-noise environment actually presents a window of opportunity for projects with clear use cases and genuine traction. Whether a recovery emerges in the second half of 2026 will depend on whether new sectors beyond prediction markets and financial infrastructure can generate broad-based investment consensus at scale.

Odaily Seer monitoring shows that the prediction market Predict.fun has launched a new prediction event: "What will be the market cap ranking of CXMT at close on its IPO day," with total trading volume currently at $93,000.On May 27, ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), a leading domestic memory chip company, successfully passed its IPO review on the STAR Market (SSE STAR) and plans to raise 29.5 billion yuan, which would mark the second-largest IPO in the history of the STAR Market.

This strong earnings potential has sparked extremely high market expectations for its post-listing valuation, with some suggesting it could challenge the top tier of A-share market capitalizations. According to the settlement rules, this event will ultimately be settled based on the descending order of total market capitalization from the "Shanghai-Shenzhen-Beijing A-shares" section of East Money (东方财富网) at market close.Odaily Seer continues to monitor prediction markets, observing changes before prices are set.

TownSquare, an infrastructure provider for institutional yields and cross-chain lending brokerage services, has partnered with Native, a non-custodial automated trading infrastructure, to launch a $10 million yield-generating vault on the Monad L1.
