SpaceX IPO Expectations Heat Up: SPCX Contract on Hyperliquid Bounces Back, Pointing to a $2.4 Trillion Valuation
According to Odaily, the crypto derivatives contract SPCX, linked to a potential SpaceX IPO, has seen a rebound on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, reigniting market expectations for the space company founded by Elon Musk's first day of trading.Data shows that the SPCX contract traded back up to approximately $176 to $183 on Friday, recovering from a dip to around $153 earlier this week. This marks a significant bounce from the roughly $157 level observed when market attention peaked on Wednesday. The contract currently has an open interest of about $216 million, with 24-hour trading volume exceeding $150 million.SPCX does not represent ownership of SpaceX stock, allocation rights, or equity in the company; it is a cash-settled derivative. However, with the SpaceX IPO price set at $135 per share, the market views this contract as a key benchmark for gauging investor expectations of the opening price on the first day of listing.At the current price of around $183, SPCX implies a first-day premium of about 36% for SpaceX. Earlier, in May, the contract surged to $216, corresponding to a roughly 60% premium over the IPO price. When the contract fell to $157 earlier this week, the implied market premium narrowed to about 16%.Meanwhile, other informal market signals also indicate a rebound in investor sentiment. Bloomberg reports that derivatives data from IG International implies a market valuation for SpaceX of approximately $2.4 trillion, which is over 35% higher than the roughly $1.77 trillion valuation implied by the IPO price. Additionally, Polymarket users are currently assigning a 70% probability to SpaceX's market capitalization exceeding $2 trillion at the close of its first trading day.SPCX had previously fallen by about 30% over several weeks, reflecting traders' cautious stance on SpaceX's listing performance. The recent rebound suggests the market is re-pricing the potential for a higher valuation premium from the SpaceX IPO. (CoinDesk)

a16z Crypto Explains the Logic Behind Leading Morpho Investment: Betting on an On-Chain Open Credit Network
a16z Crypto has published an article explaining the rationale behind leading the investment in Morpho. It points out that credit is a core mechanism for modern economic growth and capital allocation, and that blockchain-driven open credit networks have the potential to lower the cost of financial infrastructure, enhance market competition efficiency, and provide global users with broader financing and yield opportunities. a16z Crypto disclosed that it first engaged with the Morpho team in 2022. Since the global financial crisis, the private credit market has grown rapidly, reflecting the market’s demand for more direct and efficient financing models. Meanwhile, institutions can issue their own lending markets that share the network’s liquidity and network effects. The infrastructure in this area is expected to dismantle traditional financial intermediary systems and build a global open credit network.
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.
Bitcoin's "Silent Bear Market" Continues, Posting Worst Weekly Performance Since FTX Collapse
Bitcoin briefly fell below $60,000 last week, recording its worst single-week performance since the collapse of the FTX exchange in 2022. In the seven days through Sunday, Bitcoin accumulated a decline of 16%, retreating over 50% from its all-time high of over $126,000 in 2025.Multiple market analysts have warned that the current rebound may be difficult to sustain, and Bitcoin may not have reached the bottom of this cycle yet. Griffin Ardern, co-founder of Primal Fund, stated that the market is still "a considerable distance" from a "true bottom."Data shows that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net outflows for 13 consecutive trading days, with total outflows reaching approximately $5.5 billion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin last week fell below the 200-week moving average, widely regarded as a key support level, further weakening market confidence. Paul Howard, a senior executive at crypto trading firm Wincent, described the current market conditions as a "silent bear market," arguing that breaking below the 200-week moving average is a significant confirmation signal that the market has entered a bear phase.Analysts point out that the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, the reversal of expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, and strong U.S. employment data are driving the market to reassess the rate path. A high-interest-rate environment is unfavorable for the performance of risk assets, including crypto assets. Additionally, some capital is flowing out of the crypto market into artificial intelligence and technology stock sectors.Despite this, the magnitude of the current correction is still smaller than historical bear market cycles. In past bear markets, Bitcoin typically retraced about 80% from its peak, whereas this cycle's decline is approximately 50%. Some traders believe that if the macroeconomic environment continues to deteriorate and companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin face financing pressures, the market still faces further downside risks in the future.

BIT: Crypto Market Bets on Post-IPO Strength of SpaceX; Pre-IPO Contract Implied Valuation Nears $2 Trillion
According to an independent analyst report by Markus Thielen on June 9, just days remain before SpaceX’s IPO, and market expectations continue to intensify. There is currently little indication that SpaceX will raise its expected offering price of $135, suggesting the targeted fundraising amount of $7.5 billion has already been substantially subscribed. Meanwhile, pre-IPO synthetic perpetual contracts tied to SpaceX are trading at $157 on Hyperliquid and $169 on Binance—both significantly above the expected offering price—with implied valuations on both platforms approaching $2 trillion. Although prices have retreated from earlier highs near $200, prediction markets still assign a 68% probability that SpaceX’s valuation will exceed $2 trillion by year-end, reflecting traders’ broad expectation of a strong IPO performance.
Anthropic Model Safety Controversy Escalates, Amazon Accused of Being the "Hidden Force" Triggering Regulatory Intervention
the U.S. government's export controls and access restrictions on Anthropic's models, Fable 5 / Mythos 5, were partly driven by Amazon's cybersecurity research and AWS CEO Andy Jassy's communications with the White House.It is understood that research submitted by Amazon indicated that through a series of prompt tests, researchers could induce Fable 5 to output sensitive information potentially usable for cyberattacks, raising security concerns. Subsequently, Andy Jassy reported these findings to the U.S. government level, prompting the White House to implement further restrictions, including banning foreign users from accessing the model.Meanwhile, former U.S. Commerce Department official Kate Koren revealed that the White House's existing policy stance towards Anthropic may have also influenced this decision. This is because Anthropic has disagreements with the White House over the boundaries of AI safety, including refusing to use its models for mass surveillance or lethal autonomous weapons systems. Although the two sides had eased tensions and expanded cooperation earlier this year, this incident could reignite strained relations between them. (The Wall Street Journal)
Osasuna Denies Involvement in Kalshi Relegation Prediction Rumors, Predictive Market's "Insurance-like" Mechanism Draws Regulatory Attention
Spanish football club Club Atlético Osasuna has recently become embroiled in a controversy surrounding the prediction market platform Kalshi. Earlier market reports indicated that a Kalshi contract associated with the club saw a rapid surge in trading volume, reaching approximately $591,600. The market predicted the club's potential relegation from La Liga in the 2025-2026 season, sparking speculation that the club might be using "reverse betting" to hedge against the revenue risk of relegation.In response, Osasuna publicly denied any direct participation in predictive market transactions, emphasizing that it "has never placed a bet on Kalshi or any similar platform." The club also confirmed it had purchased approximately €1.2 million in relegation risk insurance through brokerage firm Howden. Kalshi, for its part, stated that the event is more akin to the redistribution of traditional insurance risk within a prediction market: the insurance broker bears the hedging risk, rather than the club directly engaging in transactions, describing the structure as functionally similar to a reinsurance mechanism.Notably, despite suffering a loss in a crucial match, Osasuna ultimately managed to avoid relegation as its rivals failed to surpass them in points.The incident has also sparked debate over the boundaries of prediction market use cases: it is evolving from a speculative tool into a real-world risk hedging instrument, potentially playing an "insurance-like" role in sports finance.Meanwhile, the Spanish Ministry of Consumer Affairs has launched a regulatory investigation into Kalshi and Polymarket, demanding the temporary blocking of the relevant platforms for operating without a license. However, officials emphasized that this action is not directly related to the Osasuna incident. (Fortune)
Sources: NVIDIA plans to pitch Vera AI CPU to Chinese clients, some cloud providers eyeing test deployment
sources say NVIDIA has begun pitching its first independent central processing unit (CPU) product, Vera, to Chinese clients. Designed specifically for Agentic AI systems, the chip has entered mass production, marking NVIDIA's attempt to further expand its presence in the Chinese market with a CPU offering.According to sources, some Chinese clients have already shown interest in Vera. One major Chinese cloud computing company plans to procure over 300 servers equipped with dual Vera CPUs for testing, and will decide whether to expand procurement after the tests are completed.Built on the Arm Holdings architecture, Vera is NVIDIA's first independent CPU product. NVIDIA has previously stated that Vera's performance in AI agent-related computing tasks is 1.8 times that of comparable competitor products, and expects the product to contribute approximately $20 billion in revenue by the end of this fiscal year (ending January next year).The report notes that as the AI industry's focus gradually shifts from model training to inference computing, CPUs and custom chips are gaining more attention. Vera also positions NVIDIA to directly compete with Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which have long dominated the server CPU market.Sources indicate that due to strict U.S. export restrictions on high-end GPUs, CPUs face relatively smaller regulatory hurdles in the Chinese market compared to GPU products. Currently, some Chinese clients plan to first deploy Vera chips for testing in overseas data centers. Meanwhile, software ecosystem compatibility and existing domestic AI chip deployment frameworks may still impact the subsequent large-scale adoption of Vera. (Reuters)
CME Group plans to launch WTI crude oil and gold contracts supporting round-the-clock trading
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group (CME Group) announced plans to launch gold and WTI crude oil futures products available for trading 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to meet global investors' demand for around-the-clock markets. It is reported that CME Group will launch the Micro WTI Crude Oil Futures contract on August 30, which will be one-tenth the size of the standard WTI crude oil futures contract. Meanwhile, the 1-ounce gold futures contract is planned to support 24/7 trading starting July 26. However, these products are still subject to regulatory approval. They will be listed for trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and the New York Mercantile Exchange's precious metals market (COMEX), respectively, and will be cash-settled. (Bloomberg)
TRM Labs: Q1 forecasted market transaction volume reached $3.66 billion, surpassing on-chain gambling’s $1.4 billion for the first time
According to CoinTelegraph, blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs released a report forecasting that the on-chain prediction market’s transaction volume for Q1 2026 will reach $3.66 billion—surpassing on-chain gambling’s $1.4 billion for the first time. On-chain gambling achieved a total annual transaction volume of $5.1 billion in 2025, setting a new quarterly record of $1.5 billion in Q4 2025. TRM Labs noted that despite the broader crypto market correction, transaction volumes in both sectors showed no significant decline—largely sustained by the continued activity of loyal user bases. Regarding user composition, “high rollers” accounted for only 6.3% of individual wallets yet generated 91.8% of total transaction volume. Meanwhile, the monthly transaction volume of average bettors grew from $17 million in January 2022 to $188 million in March 2026; the transaction volume of daily gamblers increased twelvefold over the same period, indicating substantial expansion of incremental user groups. From a risk perspective, TRM Labs highlighted differing financial crime risks across the two platform types: gambling platforms face higher money laundering risks, whereas prediction markets are more likely to draw scrutiny over insider trading.
Humility Security Incident Update: $36 Million Stolen, Police Investigation Launched to Recover Funds
Humility Protocol released a security incident update on the X platform, stating that its H token suffered a coordinated attack on the Ethereum and BSC chains yesterday, with confirmed losses exceeding $36 million in stolen and dumped assets.Preliminary investigations indicate the incident originated from a compromised employee computer, which led to the leakage of private keys for the multi-signature wallet controlling the Hyperlane Bridge ProxyAdmin. Specifically, the attacker obtained 3 out of 6 private keys of the Gnosis Safe wallet on the Ethereum chain, transferred ownership of the ProxyAdmin to a wallet under their control, upgraded the bridge contract to a malicious implementation, and subsequently transferred approximately 141.2 million H tokens in a single transaction.Simultaneously, the attacker also gained control of 3 out of 5 private keys of the Safe wallet on the BSC chain, took over the ProxyAdmin using the same method, deployed a malicious contract with unlimited minting functionality, and minted 200 million H tokens in two separate transactions to their own wallet.Humility stated that it has suspended all deposit and withdrawal operations on the affected bridge services and is collaborating with partners such as exchanges to mitigate losses. Meanwhile, it is cooperating with the police investigation and attempting to recover part of the stolen funds.

Wintermute: BTC’s Drop Below $62K Not Due to Strategy’s Token Sale; Real Selling Pressure Comes from U.S. Institutions
market maker Wintermute released a weekly market analysis report stating that Bitcoin fell below $62,000 last week, with a weekly decline of approximately 14%, hitting a new low since September 2024. Wintermute believes that although Strategy founder Michael Saylor disclosed the sale of 32 BTC, drawing market attention, the scale of this transaction is negligible. The real reason for the market's weakness is the continuous reduction of positions by U.S. institutional investors and the outflow of funds from spot Bitcoin ETFs.Wintermute pointed out that the U.S. added 172,000 non-farm jobs in May, far exceeding the market expectation of approximately 80,000. Meanwhile, job openings rose to a near two-year high, and the service price index hit a new high since August 2022. Strong economic data has weakened market expectations for a Fed rate cut, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield to 4.55%, creating a "good news is bad news" macro environment that pressures risk assets.Meanwhile, the rally in AI concept stocks has shown signs of weakening, with the Nasdaq index falling 4.7% for the week and the S&P 500 recording its first weekly decline since March. Wintermute believes that the pullback in the AI sector, rising yields, and the upcoming SpaceX IPO have collectively dampened market risk appetite.In the crypto market, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net outflows for 10 consecutive trading days as of May 30, with total outflows of approximately $2.97 billion. The net outflow in May reached $2.43 billion, marking the worst monthly performance since 2026. Wintermute OTC data shows that retail funds continue to flow into U.S. stocks, while U.S. institutional investors have recently turned bearish and are leading the selling.However, Wintermute believes there are also positive signals in the market, including long-term capital gradually building positions at current price levels. From a perspective of more than one year, Bitcoin's risk-reward ratio is becoming more attractive. The report stated that the SpaceX IPO on June 12 will serve as an important barometer for observing market risk appetite. If the issuance is smoothly absorbed, it could help boost market sentiment; conversely, it may exacerbate the pressure on risk assets.

Humanity hacker has minted 300 million H and cashed out $34 million
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ember, the "private key leak" has allowed the minting and dumping of H to continue for 13 hours. The so-called "hacker" is still able to mint H on the BSC chain and sell it off, draining every last cent from the pools. The "hacker" has minted 300 million H and sold a total of approximately 450 million H, cashing out $34 million (ETH+BNB). The H pool on BSC has been drained to just $13 in liquidity, and the price of H has plummeted 99.9% to $0.0009. Meanwhile, the perpetual contract price on CEX stands at $0.09, a 100x difference. In essence, they have de-pegged into two unrelated tokens.
Immunefi: DeFi Attack Losses Down 74% from 2022 Peak, AI Accelerates Security Arms Race
Web3 security company Immunefi's latest "2026 Ecosystem Vulnerability Audit Report" shows that losses from DeFi protocol hacks have fallen 74% from a peak of $2.62 billion in 2022 to approximately $680.3 million in 2025.The report notes that the median loss per individual attack has also significantly decreased, from $6 million in 2022 to $1.5 million in 2025, reflecting an overall improvement in security standards. Meanwhile, the share of bridge exploits in total DeFi losses has dropped sharply from 73% in 2022 to 3% in 2025, and the proportion of flash loan attacks has fallen from 54% to less than 1%.The proportion of risks at the infrastructure level (such as private key leaks and database attacks) also decreased from 30.7% in 2022 to 10.3% in 2025. Immunefi stated that this reflects continuous optimization in oracle design, reentrancy attack protection, and access control standards, making the DeFi ecosystem "generally becoming safer."However, the report also notes that losses slightly rebounded to $680.3 million in 2025, primarily due to increased complexity in multi-chain systems and a few high-severity incidents. At the same time, the number of independent security incidents continues to rise, indicating the attack surface is still expanding. (The Block)
THORChain: Asgard Vault Breach Results in Approximately $10.7 Million Loss; User Cross-Chain Transactions Unaffected for Now
According to Odaily, THORChain has issued an emergency announcement stating that after discovering a suspected breach of an Asgard vault, the network has suspended trading operations to respond to the security incident. Preliminary information indicates that user funds remain unaffected, with losses primarily concentrated on the protocol's own capital.The official statement noted that the system automatically detected anomalous behavior and halted signing operations, thereby alerting the community and preventing further asset outflow. The investigation is currently ongoing to determine the root cause of the vulnerability and the full scope of the impact.Known information indicates that this incident involves one of the six Asgard vaults, with estimated losses of approximately $10.7 million. Meanwhile, staked RUNE on the affected nodes has been slashed due to a penalty mechanism triggered by unauthorized outgoing transactions. The network has paused churn operations and delayed the launch of new chains and related features until system stability is restored.THORChain stated that no user cross-chain transactions have been affected so far and has requested node operators to thoroughly inspect their infrastructure, secure key management, and anomalous behavior, and to submit relevant logs to assist the investigation.
CertiK CEO: AI Is Turning DeFi Defense into an "Unfair Game"
Ronghui Gu, co-founder and CEO of CertiK, stated that AI tools are exacerbating the imbalance between attack and defense in DeFi security, making it easier for attackers to discover vulnerabilities and replicate attack paths across different protocols.He pointed out that the DeFi security situation was particularly severe in April of this year, with only 3 days that month free from hacker attacks, resulting in cumulative losses exceeding $690 million for DeFi protocols. Excluding the Bybit attack in February 2025, April has become the month with the highest losses from DeFi hacks since March 2022.Ronghui Gu believes that attackers can concentrate significant computing power to repeatedly test a single protocol, whereas security companies need to serve multiple clients simultaneously with dispersed resources, putting the defense side at a natural disadvantage. Meanwhile, the focus of recent attacks is also shifting from smart contract vulnerabilities to operational security and weak points in the supply chain.He emphasized that even if AI fails to find vulnerabilities over an extended period, it does not prove the code is completely secure; under current technical conditions, formal verification remains a more reliable method for ensuring security.
Aave founder: V4's "Spokes" mechanism to become the core architecture for protocol scaling
Aave founder Stani stated on X platform that the Spokes mechanism in version V4 will become the core architecture for protocol scaling. This mechanism is a scalable lending market module that supports both general functions and customized development. It can be integrated with various businesses such as AMM, perpetual contracts, fixed-rate lending, and asset custody, thereby extending the platform's liquidity boundaries. Leveraging Spokes, Aave allows collaboration with external specialized teams to accelerate product innovation while maintaining protocol-level integration. Meanwhile, the Aave DAO can generate revenue through a fee-sharing mechanism, achieving a two-way synergy of "liquidity in exchange for speed and innovation."

Sources: NVIDIA plans to pitch Vera AI CPU to Chinese clients, some cloud providers eyeing test deployment
sources say NVIDIA has begun pitching its first independent central processing unit (CPU) product, Vera, to Chinese clients. Designed specifically for Agentic AI systems, the chip has entered mass production, marking NVIDIA's attempt to further expand its presence in the Chinese market with a CPU offering.According to sources, some Chinese clients have already shown interest in Vera. One major Chinese cloud computing company plans to procure over 300 servers equipped with dual Vera CPUs for testing, and will decide whether to expand procurement after the tests are completed.Built on the Arm Holdings architecture, Vera is NVIDIA's first independent CPU product. NVIDIA has previously stated that Vera's performance in AI agent-related computing tasks is 1.8 times that of comparable competitor products, and expects the product to contribute approximately $20 billion in revenue by the end of this fiscal year (ending January next year).The report notes that as the AI industry's focus gradually shifts from model training to inference computing, CPUs and custom chips are gaining more attention. Vera also positions NVIDIA to directly compete with Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which have long dominated the server CPU market.Sources indicate that due to strict U.S. export restrictions on high-end GPUs, CPUs face relatively smaller regulatory hurdles in the Chinese market compared to GPU products. Currently, some Chinese clients plan to first deploy Vera chips for testing in overseas data centers. Meanwhile, software ecosystem compatibility and existing domestic AI chip deployment frameworks may still impact the subsequent large-scale adoption of Vera. (Reuters)

Anthropic Model Safety Controversy Escalates, Amazon Accused of Being the "Hidden Force" Triggering Regulatory Intervention
the U.S. government's export controls and access restrictions on Anthropic's models, Fable 5 / Mythos 5, were partly driven by Amazon's cybersecurity research and AWS CEO Andy Jassy's communications with the White House.It is understood that research submitted by Amazon indicated that through a series of prompt tests, researchers could induce Fable 5 to output sensitive information potentially usable for cyberattacks, raising security concerns. Subsequently, Andy Jassy reported these findings to the U.S. government level, prompting the White House to implement further restrictions, including banning foreign users from accessing the model.Meanwhile, former U.S. Commerce Department official Kate Koren revealed that the White House's existing policy stance towards Anthropic may have also influenced this decision. This is because Anthropic has disagreements with the White House over the boundaries of AI safety, including refusing to use its models for mass surveillance or lethal autonomous weapons systems. Although the two sides had eased tensions and expanded cooperation earlier this year, this incident could reignite strained relations between them. (The Wall Street Journal)
