Polymarket now offers a prediction range for the opening price of SpaceX on its first day of listing

Odaily Seer monitoring shows that Polymarket has launched a new prediction event for the opening price range of SpaceX (ticker: SPCX) on its first day of trading on the Nasdaq.SpaceX is scheduled to officially list on Nasdaq on June 12 (U.S. time). According to its compliance filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in early June, the official IPO price has been set at $135 per share, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion. Although the offering price has been determined, institutional oversubscription orders are reportedly exceeding $10 billion, fueling market expectations for a premium from the "first-day pop." However, given the high valuation multiple of 90 times price-to-sales and intense competition in the rocket launch market, the first-day opening premium may be relatively moderate. Under the event's settlement rules, the market will strictly settle based on the official opening price of SpaceX on its first trading day on the primary exchange. If the final opening price falls exactly at the boundary between two ranges, the higher range will be used for settlement.Odaily Seer remains focused on prediction markets. See the change before the price is set.

on-chain analyst Ai Yi posted on platform X, stating that SPCX is about to launch, and the total share capital of SpaceX has been adjusted to 13.08 billion shares, an increase of 10%. Under the same total valuation, the pre-market contract prices will shrink by 10%, affecting platforms that have previously listed this asset and their users. Exchanges such as Binance have followed up with a rebase, and the perpetual DEX Aster has also chosen to proactively adjust to prevent user losses. TradeXYZ has announced that it will not make any adjustments, adhering to its stance as a "price-based perpetual contract," leading to long positions suffering losses. It stated that stock splits are not uncommon in US stocks, where large-cap tech stocks undergo forward stock splits due to excessively high single-share values to facilitate trading. The TradeXYZ team indicated that a solution will be provided.

AIFC: 3.3 Billion WLFI to Be Used for Collateral and Lending, 3.5 Billion WLFI Fully Transferable on August 12

WLFI treasury company AI Financial Corporation has disclosed that the company currently holds WLFI tokens worth approximately $380 million, of which about half can be used for collateral, staking, or lending transactions.According to the Form 8-K filed today, 3,321,690,994 WLFI (worth approximately $180 million) are immediately available, and these tokens are expected to be fully transferable by August 12, 2026. The remaining 3,583,585,650 WLFI are subject to a 12-month contractual lock-up and will also unlock on the same date. The above valuations are based on a WLFI price of $0.055 (as of 19:00 Eastern Time Monday).CEO Tony Isaac emphasized that the availability of usable tokens does not mean the company intends to sell them; WLFI is viewed as a strategic asset to optimize the balance sheet and support the company's liquidity. He stated that the availability of these tokens helps alleviate the going concern uncertainty disclosed in the recent Form 10-Q, and the company expects to have sufficient funds to maintain operations and fulfill its obligations for at least the next 12 months.AI Financial describes itself as a fintech company, providing blockchain-based payment, trading, and settlement infrastructure with cumulative transaction volume exceeding $8 billion. The company has a market capitalization of approximately $94.91 million, and its stock price has fallen 93% over the past year to $0.68, with liquidity challenges persisting. (Investing)

Polymarket launches new prediction: "Will SpaceX open higher on its second trading day?"

Odaily Seer Channel monitoring shows that Polymarket has launched a new prediction event: "On the second trading day of SpaceX (ticker: SPCX) on the Nasdaq, will its opening price be greater than or equal to its first-day closing price (i.e., open higher on the second day)?"SpaceX officially submitted its S-1 prospectus on May 20 and is scheduled to list on the Nasdaq on June 12. This IPO breaks tradition by adopting a fixed price of $135 per share, aiming to raise $75 billion, with a valuation of $1.75 trillion. Market traders are divided: positions betting on a higher opening on the second day are mainly supported by Starlink's strong revenue performance and the potential of space-based orbital data centers and computing power from the merger with xAI (restructured as SpaceXAI) in February 2026. Meanwhile, cautious short positions are primarily concerned about its high trailing price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 90x, the significant losses from its AI business, and the amplifying effect of Musk's dual-class share structure on stock price volatility in the early stages of listing.Odaily Seer Channel continues to monitor the prediction market, seeing the changes before the price is set.

BIT: Crypto market bets on strong post-IPO performance for SpaceX

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%.

Jiang Zhuoer: Strategy Increases Holdings by 1,550 BTC, “BTC Bought Far Exceeds BTC Sold” Faith Remains Unshaken

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.

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.

Revolut seeks $115 billion valuation and plans multiple secondary transactions before IPO

: 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.

Polymarket: "SpaceX to Raise $70B-$80B in Its IPO" probability now stands at 88%, up 20% intraday

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.

Monthly transaction volume of crypto VCs hits a five-year low, with capital concentrating in top-tier projects

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.
