SEC Plans to Launch Tokenized Stock "Innovation Exemption," Allowing 24/7 On-Chain Trading of Stocks Like Apple
Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to unveil two crypto-related initiatives in the coming days, while Congress's CLARITY Act remains stalled at least until September. The SEC is expected to propose "Regulation Crypto" at a public meeting on Friday, allowing projects to raise funds through token sales without completing full securities registration. The SEC also plans to introduce an "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks, with details potentially released on Friday. The exemption would allow tokenized versions of stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia to trade on the blockchain 24/7, with support for fractional trading and near-instant settlement. Such tokens typically track the economic exposure of the underlying stock but do not carry voting rights or dividend entitlements. The initiative falls under SEC Chairman Paul Atkins's "Project Crypto" agenda, with Robinhood Chain, Solana, and Base all having advanced related on-chain markets. (Decrypt)

Goldman Sachs: Data Center Power Scramble Spurs 50GWh Energy Storage Growth, FLNC Secures Exclusive NVIDIA Deal
According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 16 energy storage report pointed out that electricity demand from data centers is surging, traditional grid expansion requires four to eight years, and energy storage has become the fastest solution with a 12 to 18-month deployment cycle. Goldman Sachs estimates that by 2030, behind-the-meter energy storage opportunities in the US will bring about 50GWh of increment, plus 11GWh from 800V DC data centers, total US energy storage deployment will reach 172GWh, significantly upwardly revised from the previous 112GWh. Globally, annual energy storage installations are expected to reach 2100GWh by 2040. Goldman Sachs believes energy storage is transitioning from renewable energy supporting equipment to a necessity for AI infrastructure, which will change the industry valuation logic. In terms of targets, FLNC (Buy) secured exclusive battery partner qualification for Nvidia DSX Vera Rubin, data center pipeline projects reached 12GW, up 30% sequentially; CATL (Buy) has about 30% global energy storage market share, already used in Shanghai SenseTime data center; Tesla (Neutral) 2025 energy storage deployment 46.7GWh, energy business 2028 estimated revenue 29 billion USD; Energy Vault (Neutral) received 6x EV/EBITDA valuation; LGES (Buy) North America ESS capacity expected to reach 50GWh by end of 2026.

AI Giants Shake Up Capital Markets: SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic Could Create the Biggest Exit Wave in US VC History
the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and PitchBook recently released the "Venture Monitor" report, noting that after SpaceX's listing and the potential IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI, the combined value generated by these three companies will reach an unprecedented level. The report states: "With SpaceX going public, combined with the future exits of these companies, the value created will surpass the total exit value of all US VC-backed companies since 2000." The core factor lies in the extremely high valuation expectations of these three companies.SpaceX is currently valued at approximately $1.77 trillion, while Anthropic and OpenAI are also moving towards multi-trillion-dollar enterprise valuations. The market estimates that the combined valuation of the three companies could exceed $4 trillion. This scale far surpasses past large-scale tech IPOs. Data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows that total US IPO fundraising last year was about $70 billion, whereas SpaceX's single-company valuation has already reached a level that traditional large-scale IPOs find hard to match. As a once-highly-watched tech IPO case, Uber was valued at around $84 billion when it went public in 2019, which is less than 5% of SpaceX's current valuation.However, the comparison by NVCA and PitchBook is based on "enterprise value created," not the actual cash-out amounts for investors. Additionally, the analysis does not include non-US companies like Alibaba. Furthermore, the value created by already-public companies such as Apple, Google Android, YouTube, and Instagram is not counted in the VC exit statistics.The report points out that over the past 25 years, the US tech market has seen several historic IPOs, including Google in 2004, Tesla in 2010, and Meta in 2012. These companies have since become some of the world's most valuable enterprises. Additionally, companies like LinkedIn, Slack, and WhatsApp were acquired for over $20 billion.The NVCA believes that the current IPO cycle driven by artificial intelligence (AI) could further break these records. The analysis suggests two main reasons driving this trend:First, tech companies are staying private for longer periods than in the past, accumulating higher valuations through prolonged financing and business expansion. If today's Google were in its early stages, it might also choose to go public later to achieve a higher market valuation.Second, the AI industry is highly capital-intensive. Training large AI models requires massive investment, pushing AI companies to continuously raise substantial funds and driving rapid valuation growth.Industry insiders believe that the potential scale of IPOs by SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI will test the capacity of the US capital market. As AI companies transition from the private financing stage to the public market, how trillions of dollars in tech assets flow into the stock market will become a focus for investors. (DigitalToday)
Retail Investors Adjust Overseas Portfolios After South Korea Tightens Single-Stock Leverage Thresholds, Shift to Buying Underlying US Stocks
According to South Korean media Daum, after South Korean financial regulators raised the investment threshold for single-stock leveraged products, South Korean retail investors began adjusting their overseas investment portfolios, reducing holdings of high-leverage products and shifting to directly buying underlying US stocks.

South Korean investors still net bought approximately $14.58 million worth of TSLL on August 3, but on August 4, the buying amount plummeted to $1.56 million, while the selling amount rose to $8.68 million, turning to a net sell of $7.11 million for the day.
Analyst: Tesla and SpaceX Merger Remains Distant
Analysts at BNP Paribas expressed skepticism about the near-term possibility of a merger between Tesla and SpaceX, stating: "The significant cash burn at both companies and substantial regulatory risks complicate any potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla." Tesla investor sentiment, which has improved due to merger speculation, may be overly optimistic. The bank maintains its "underperform" rating and $280 price target. "We are concerned that Tesla will face formidable KPIs in its robotaxi and Optimus businesses over the next two years, posing downside risks to its core business before any SpaceX merger can truly materialize."

Analysis: SpaceX IPO May Serve as a "Cash Cow" for Tesla, Financial Logic and Profitability Remain Questionable
market analysts have pointed out that if Elon Musk's proposed merger between SpaceX and Tesla proceeds, SpaceX may need to issue new shares equivalent to 94% of its current outstanding shares to acquire Tesla, increasing the total share count to approximately 8 billion. However, the financial logic of the transaction faces challenges. Tesla's GAAP net profit over the past 12 months has dropped from $15 billion in 2023 to $3.9 billion. After excluding regulatory credit revenue and Bitcoin gains, its core operating profit stands at only about $2.3 billion.Analysts believe that this transaction may essentially be an attempt to use a high-valuation asset to acquire another similarly overvalued company, leaving significant uncertainty regarding its long-term profitability and cash flow performance. The combined company's valuation could reach $3.4 trillion, with SpaceX estimated at $1.75 trillion and Tesla's current market cap around $1.65 trillion. Musk may be leveraging the high valuation from SpaceX's impending IPO to support Tesla, which is under earnings pressure. (Fortune)
Musk and Buffett's Century-Old Reconciliation? Berkshire Hathaway Indirectly Holds 0.04% of SpaceX Stock Through Google Parent Alphabet
Odaily News According to foreign media BusinessInsider, based on publicly disclosed holdings data, "Oracle of Omaha" Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway indirectly holds approximately 0.04% of SpaceX shares through a two-tier equity nesting "look-through shareholding" model, with a corresponding market value exceeding $700 million. This also creates a rare capital intersection between two top business tycoons, "the Oracle of Omaha" Buffett and "Iron Man" Musk.Musk has long regarded Buffett's investment endorsement as an important industry validation, and has repeatedly publicly extended olive branches to Buffett on social platforms, hoping he would become a shareholder in his companies. Musk joked in a 2023 post: "Too bad he didn't invest when Tesla's market cap was only 0.1% of its current value." In 2024, he publicly stated again: "He should build a position in Tesla; that's the obvious choice." Now, although Buffett has not invested in Tesla, he has become an "invisible shareholder" of SpaceX in another way.In terms of the shareholding structure, this stake is not a direct investment by Berkshire in SpaceX, but rather an incidental asset from its heavy position in tech giant Google's parent company Alphabet.

Musk's 2025 compensation reaches $158.3 billion, earning a Tesla employee's annual salary in just 4.23 seconds
Odaily News: Tesla CEO Elon Musk received total compensation of approximately $15.83 billion in 2025, setting a record for executive pay. According to the AFL-CIO's executive compensation report, Musk's annual earnings are approximately 2.52 million times the average Tesla employee salary of $57,200, meaning it takes him just 4.23 seconds to earn what an average employee makes in a year.The report shows that Musk's 2025 compensation primarily comes from restricted stock awards granted by Tesla, with the final value depending on the company's achievement of future performance targets. If all targets are met, the potential value of the compensation package could reach up to approximately $1 trillion.The AFL-CIO stated that Musk's 2025 compensation package is "unprecedented," with the amount exceeding the combined CEO compensation of all other S&P 500 companies by 14 times. Including Musk, total CEO compensation at S&P 500 companies last year reached approximately $340 million, up about 1,700% year-over-year. Excluding Musk, the average S&P 500 CEO compensation was approximately $22.8 million, up 21% year-over-year.The report notes that the massive gap between Musk's compensation and employee pay highlights the imbalance between executive compensation growth and average worker income growth in U.S. corporations. By comparison, the average S&P 500 CEO compensation is approximately 312 times the median employee salary. (Fortune)
