: 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.

“New Stock God” Serenity posted on X platform to clarify that he does not currently hold any shares of Harmonic Drive, and the related views are solely public research sharing. He further added that Harmonic Drive holds a key position in the humanoid robot industry chain, with its products expected to cover a significant portion of the manufacturing processes for humanoid robots. Currently, companies like AGIBot and Unitree have just entered the scale-up stage, with AGIBot’s cumulative shipments reaching only about 10,000 units. Therefore, the P/E valuations of related companies are generally high at this stage.However, Serenity pointed out that capital markets typically price in future growth expectations in advance. If manufacturers like Tesla Optimus and Unitree achieve mass production of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of robots in the coming years, and with trillions of dollars flowing into the humanoid robot industry, even if Harmonic Drive only captures about a 5% market share of core robot components, its valuation could be significantly higher than its current market capitalization.Based on comprehensive research of the industry chain, Serenity stated that Harmonic Drive is currently one of the highest-exposure targets he has identified related to the development of the humanoid robot industry.
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. This vault will support assets including USD1, USDC, cbBTC, and MON, offering higher yields than conventional lending through trading-based yield generation. This marks TownSquare’s first collaboration with a trading-based yield manager. The partnership aims to bring real-world asset (RWA) and stablecoin institutional yields to a broader user base. Native is a close partner of Binance Wallet and Buidlpad, having previously launched vaults for BNB and wETH on BNB Chain and Ethereum—demonstrating its stability, scalability, and ability to generate yields for liquidity providers (LPs) managing tens of millions of dollars. This initiative also represents the first trading-yield vault on the Monad chain. Native already operates credit pools across multiple EVM chains with over $35 million in liquidity, achieving daily trading volumes of $50–100 million and cumulative trading volume exceeding $25 billion. Its Proactive Market Making (PMM) structure enables retail users to access institutional-grade trading yields. TownSquare previously launched a $100 million USD1 liquidity program and has raised over $16 million to date—including funding from this collaboration.

SpaceX is set to launch its IPO, with an estimated fundraising scale of $50 billion to $75 billion, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion, potentially making it the largest IPO in history. Analysts point out that SpaceX's ultra-high valuation means it could quickly enter major indices and ETFs after listing, with passive capital allocation speed potentially far exceeding that of previous large-scale IPOs.According to current rules and potential reforms:1. Vanguard's VTI, which tracks the total market, and the growth stock ETF VUG, corresponding to the CRSP index, could potentially include SpaceX within 5 trading days after its listing;2. The Nasdaq 100 index tracked by QQQ could potentially include SpaceX within 15 trading days after its listing;3. The Russell 1000 and Russell 1000 Growth indices are expected to include SpaceX as early as September and December this year;4. The S&P 500 index tracked by SPY could potentially include SpaceX in 2027 after rule modifications.SpaceX's weight in the Nasdaq 100 is expected to reach 0.47%-0.70%, higher than its proportion in most float-adjusted market cap weighted indices. Analysts say that as the lock-up period ends and more insider shareholders sell their shares, SpaceX's float could increase in the future, thereby further boosting its weight in major indices. However, SpaceX's biggest current issue lies in its relatively low "Float." Based on the current financing structure, its public float ratio is only about 2.86%-3.75%, far below the average level of over 80% for most large US technology companies. This will affect its weighting in indices that employ a "float-adjusted market cap weighted" mechanism. (BusinessInsider)
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin has declined approximately 40% from its all-time high in October 2025, yet long-term valuation models indicate substantial upside potential remains. Based on the “Bitcoin Decay Channel” measurement of long-term trends, Bitcoin’s conservative year-end price range has been revised upward to $90,000–$255,000, with the high-end scenario reaching as high as $255,000. This model fits a logarithmic decay trend to historical cycle highs and lows, showing that BTC prices at the peaks of the 2013, 2017, and 2021 cycles all approached the upper channel boundary, while bear market bottoms fell near the lower boundary. Analyst Sminston stated that Bitcoin remains within a historic, long-term upward channel and noted that the price range for 2027 could further expand to $128,000–$308,000.

According to CoinDesk, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced it will leverage Chainlink’s infrastructure to power its blockchain-based collateral management platform, Collateral AppChain. Built on the Besu blockchain, the platform utilizes Chainlink’s Compute Runtime Environment (CRE) and data standards to support asset pricing, valuation, margin calculation, collateral optimization, and settlement.

According to TheEnergyMag, U.S.-based Bitcoin company American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ: ABTC) disclosed in its latest quarterly report that in February of this year, it purchased approximately 11,298 S21 XP ASIC miners (with a combined hash rate of roughly 3.05 EH/s) from Bitmain for $49.4 million. Of this amount, 80% was paid via the pledge of 314 BTC. Based on this, the agreed-upon valuation per pledged BTC was approximately $125,900—roughly a 44% discount compared to BTC’s market price at the time, which was under $70,000. Per the agreement, Bitmain is prohibited from forcibly liquidating the pledged BTC during a ~24-month redemption period. If BTC’s price exceeds the agreed valuation upon maturity, ABTC may repay in cash and reclaim the BTC, thereby locking in appreciation gains; if BTC’s price falls below the agreed valuation, ABTC may elect not to redeem and leave the BTC with Bitmain. This structure effectively grants ABTC a long-dated Bitcoin call option. As of March 31, 2026, ABTC has pledged a cumulative total of 3,090 BTC to Bitmain, with a fair value of approximately $210.8 million, corresponding to mining equipment procurement liabilities of roughly $364.3 million. These miners have already been deployed at the facility of ABTC’s parent company Hut 8 (NASDAQ: HUT) in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada.
Caixin published an article titled "SpaceX's $1.75 Trillion IPO Approaches: Who Can Buy and Is It Worth It?", which points out: Wall Street has never encountered a listed company with such a massive IPO scale while simultaneously having such a complex relationship with the U.S. government. Nasdaq has previously passed a new "Fast Entry" rule, allowing newly listed companies with a market capitalization ranking among the top 40 of the Nasdaq 100 Index to be quickly included in the Nasdaq 100 within 15 trading days after listing. This rule will officially take effect on May 1, 2026, and is also considered to be designed for the upcoming SpaceX IPO, while potentially paving the way for the listings of OpenAI and Anthropic, which may occur in 2026 or 2027.Assuming SpaceX lists with a $1.75 trillion valuation and a free float ratio of 25% to 30%, the free float market cap on the first day of the IPO would be approximately between $440 billion and $530 billion. Based on the weight calculation of the Nasdaq 100, SpaceX would directly enter the top ten weighted stocks. According to market sources, the S&P 500 is also evaluating some form of "fast inclusion" plan, though details have not yet been disclosed. (Caixin)
