Goldman Sachs: IPO Surge Hits Record, Danger Signal Hasn't Flashed Yet
According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 20 Top of Mind report pointed out that U.S. IPO proceeds in 2026 have already exceeded $125 billion, breaking the full-year record of 2021, and are expected to exceed $200 billion for the full year. But the number of IPOs is only about 60, far lower than the 400 in 1999 and 250 in 2021 during bubble periods, mainly driven by a few mega-tech companies. Goldman Sachs Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Snider believes late-cycle warning signals have not yet appeared, the household sector has become net buyers, annualized IPO proceeds account for only about 1% of the S&P 500 market cap, and market absorption capacity is underestimated. University of Florida Professor Ritter pointed out that high issuance volume predicts low returns, but the signal accuracy is only slightly higher than random (about 52%). Acadian Fund Manager Lamont warned that the issuance wave is one of the "Four Horsemen" of bubbles, but may mark the beginning rather than the end of a bubble; currently, first-day gains do not show extreme speculation signals. All three experts believe that IPO volume is moderate, valuations have not reached bubble levels, first-day gains are not out of control, and true danger signals have not yet appeared. Snider expects company buybacks in 2026 to be about $1.3 trillion, enough to offset new supply. If the AI narrative or corporate earnings undergo a significant shift, market and IPO prospects will change accordingly.
SpaceX IPO Drives Record Tokenized Stock Trading, June On-Chain Volume Reaches $3.86 Billion
According to Odaily, driven by the hype surrounding SpaceX’s initial public offering (IPO), the tokenized stock market hit a record high for trading activity in June, with on-chain transaction volume reaching $3.86 billion, a 145% increase from May. Among the trades, tokenized SpaceX stocks accounted for $1.19 billion, representing approximately 31% of the total tokenized stock volume in June. The SPCX token launched by Backpack Securities became the most actively traded tokenized SpaceX stock product, with a single-month on-chain trading volume of $1.08 billion.Data indicates that this growth surge was primarily fueled by demand for SpaceX-related assets. Previously, SpaceX completed a $75 billion IPO, marking the largest IPO in history, and the company is valued at approximately $1.8 trillion on a fully diluted basis. Traditional popular assets such as Nvidia, Tesla, the S&P 500 ETF (SPY), and the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) remained actively traded, but none matched the market heat of tokenized SpaceX stocks. Additionally, the total market capitalization of the tokenized stock market rose to $1.53 billion in June, up 6.64% from the previous month, marking the 15th consecutive month of growth. (CoinDesk)

SpaceX's record-breaking listing was one of the main drivers. Investment bankers expect a stronger IPO pipeline in the third quarter, with AI-related companies serving as the core driving force. Multiple heavyweight companies, including Anthropic, are still expected to push forward with their listing processes. The market generally believes that AI capital expenditure and the high-valuation environment for tech stocks are jointly supporting the continuation of this IPO boom cycle.

Within the overall capital plan, STRC, along with STRK, STRF, STRD, and common stock financing, constitutes its "42/42" financing framework. The goal is to raise $84 billion by 2027 for continuous Bitcoin purchases. Current market views suggest that STRC is gradually becoming the dominant instrument within this financing system.

World Cup Sparks Prediction Market: Polymarket Trading Volume Up 300%, Kalshi Open Interest Hits Record $1.16 Billion
According to Odaily, within the ten days leading up to the World Cup, Polymarket's soccer category trading volume exceeded $2 billion, a 300% increase compared to the previous ten days.

Meanwhile, last Thursday, Kalshi's open interest reached a record $1.16 billion, surpassing the $1 billion mark for the first time and growing 350% since the beginning of the year.Although Polymarket's open interest levels remained relatively stable during the World Cup, the open interest on Polymarket's U.S. branch only saw moderate growth, failing to reach the highs from April 2026. Kalshi's open interest has grown faster than its trading volume, indicating that its user base holds positions for longer periods and has established larger directional positions. Its CFTC-regulated channel and direct USD deposit gateway have attracted U.S. institutions and high-net-worth dollar investors. (The Block)
Bloomberg ETF Analyst: Record 242 ETFs Launched in the US in June, Full-Year 2026 Could Exceed 1,450
Odaily Odaily News Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas stated on platform X that the US ETF market is experiencing unprecedented expansion. A total of 242 ETFs were launched in June this year, setting a new single-month issuance record, equivalent to approximately 11 new products per day. In the first half of 2026, the number of newly added ETFs reached 730. At the current pace, the full-year total could surpass 1,450, significantly surpassing last year's record.Eric Balchunas particularly highlighted the aggressive expansion strategy of emerging issuer Corgi. Data shows that Corgi launched over 100 ETFs in June, already ranking as the sixth-largest ETF issuer. If the current issuance pace continues (the company still has about 350 ETFs in the registration stage), Corgi could overtake BlackRock by the end of this year to become the issuer with the highest number of ETFs in the market.Balchunas noted that it took BlackRock over 20 years to build its current ETF product lineup, whereas Corgi may achieve a similar scale in less than a year. However, growth in quantity does not necessarily mean a corresponding increase in capital inflow. Currently, some of Corgi's ETFs have attracted a certain amount of capital, but most products are still in a market cultivation phase. The average asset size of its ETF portfolio is approximately $4 million, compared to the overall ETF industry average of about $3 billion. Corgi still faces a significant challenge in attracting assets. Balchunas described Corgi's mass issuance strategy as "extremely bold," and its rapid expansion has undoubtedly become one of the most attention-grabbing phenomena in the current ETF market.

Glassnode's weekly report shows that despite Bitcoin's price decline in June, accumulation has continued; Bitcoin has recently reclaimed the $65,000 level.
Coinbase Bitcoin Discount vs. Binance Extends to 50 Consecutive Days, Setting a New Record

This indicator compares Bitcoin prices on Coinbase and Binance.

As of early July 2026, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen net outflows of approximately $6 billion year-to-date. In late June, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows exceeding $2.6 billion over nine trading days, following which Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded a combined inflow of $282 million.

Nomura Securities: May Package Substrate Shipments Up 36% YoY to Hit Record High, Rubin Mass Production and HBM4 Technology Roadmap Become Focus
According to TechFlow Research, on July 14, 2026, Nomura Securities released a research report citing data from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Japan's packaging substrate shipment value in May reached 27.8 billion yen, a year-on-year increase of 36%, hitting a record high; shipment area increased by 10%, and the average price rose 23% to 1.356 million yen per square meter. The report pointed out that NVIDIA Rubin packaging demand will ramp up this summer (at latest by August), but the variable worth paying more attention to is that Rubin Ultra may shift from a four-die structure to a dual-module structure, as well as the large interposer integration challenges brought by HBM4 wiring upgrades. Intel released EMIB-T technology at ECTC, expected to complete mass production readiness in 2026, capable of integrating up to 12 HBM4 units under an interposer-less solution, with power supply voltage drop improved by 68-80% compared to EMIB; TSMC maintains its lead relying on 3DFabric Alliance and advantages in power delivery and heat dissipation. Nomura Securities believes that the core battlefield of the next-generation packaging competition lies in power delivery, heat dissipation, CPO, and 3D hybrid bonding, and excess returns in the packaging substrate industry will come from the ability to bind to customer technology roadmaps.
