Iranian Rial Hits Record Low, US Sanctions Target Digital Assets for First Time
According to Odaily, the Iranian rial hit a record low this week, with the open market exchange rate falling to approximately 2.02 million rials per US dollar on August 24, compared to around 1.53 million rials in the first quarter. During the same period, the US government launched "Operation Economic Exodus," adding more than 60 entities to the Treasury Department's blacklist and, for the first time, designating digital assets as a sanctionable category.State-controlled farms linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) control approximately 65% of Iran's Bitcoin mining capacity. Iranian miners have accounted for roughly 3% to 7% of global Bitcoin hashrate since 2019, with the mined Bitcoin valued at an estimated $1.35 billion to $3.15 billion at various stages.Iran legalized Bitcoin mining in 2019, allowing licensed operators to use industrial electricity at approximately $0.004 per kilowatt-hour and sell the mined tokens to the Central Bank of Iran. Chainalysis estimates that IRGC-affiliated wallets received over $3 billion in Q4 2025; Elliptic states that the Central Bank of Iran holds at least $507 million in USDT.The US Treasury sanctioned Nobitex, Wallex, Bitpin, and Ramzinex in June. Nobitex had processed more than half of Iran's digital asset inflows; in April, the US Treasury seized nearly $500 million in Iran-linked crypto assets. (Bitcoin.com News)
Morgan Stanley: CoreWeave Adds Record 500MW Capacity in Single Quarter, High Debt and Customer Concentration Weigh on Valuation
According to TechFlow Research, Morgan Stanley's August Q2 earnings report indicated that CoreWeave added 500MW of net active power in a single quarter, exceeding any quarter in history, more than three times year-over-year. Management reaffirmed the target of reaching at least 8GW before 2030. FY26 revenue guidance midpoint was raised 2% to $12.4 billion to $13.2 billion, ARR midpoint was raised 3% to $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion. The company raised full-year capital expenditure guidance midpoint by 12% to $35.5 billion to $39.0 billion, Q3 capital expenditure guidance is $11.5 billion to $13.5 billion, higher than the market expectation of $10 billion. Managed Inference Platform (managed inference platform) ARR grew from $1 million to over $100 million, expected to reach at least $250 million by year-end. The research report judges that Q2 adjusted operating margin was about 8%, higher than expected, but Q3 margin guidance of 5.8% to 7.2% is lower than market expectations, Q4 margin needs to increase significantly to achieve full-year guidance. Morgan Stanley expects CoreWeave FY27 operating margin to be 15.9%, FY28 to be 22.4%, free cash flow to remain negative until 2028, and debt is expected to increase to approximately $38 billion by the end of 2026. Morgan Stanley maintains Equal-weight (in line with the market) rating and $99 price target.
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)
US IPO Boom Sets Record: H1 Financing Reaches $251 Billion, AI-Driven New Wave of Listings May Continue
according to market sources, data shows that U.S. IPO and stock issuance reached a record high in the first half of 2026, with total financing amounting to $251 billion. 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.
STRC Perpetual Preferred Shares Record $1.1 Billion in Daily Trading Volume, Continuously Fueling the Engine for BTC Accumulation
Odaily News Bitcoin treasury company Strategy's perpetual preferred shares, STRC, recorded approximately $1.1 billion in trading volume on April 13, representing a nearly 47% increase from the previous record. This has become a core financing tool for the company to accelerate its Bitcoin accumulation. Strategy raises capital by selling preferred shares like STRC and uses the funds for high-frequency Bitcoin purchases.Data shows that Strategy recently purchased 13,927 BTC for approximately $1 billion, bringing its total holdings to 780,897 BTC. The related funds primarily came from the issuance of over 10 million STRC shares. 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.

AI Wealth Wave Continues: Global Billionaire Count Reaches Record High of 3,795
Odaily News According to the latest report released by wealth intelligence firm Altrata, the number of billionaires worldwide surged to a record high in 2025, reaching 3,795—an increase of 8.2%, the strongest growth in five years. Rising stock markets, monetary stimulus policies, and the artificial intelligence (AI) investment boom have driven rapid wealth accumulation among the ultra-rich.The total wealth of billionaires grew by 12.8% in 2025, hitting a record $15.1 trillion—equivalent to nearly a quarter of the total market capitalization of the S&P 500. This marks the third consecutive year of accelerated wealth growth among billionaires, with the average billionaire now holding $4 billion in assets. In reality, however, the median net worth of billionaires stands at nearly $2 billion, reflecting the highly concentrated distribution of wealth among a small group of "super-billionaires."By region, North America saw the fastest growth in billionaire population at 11.6%, outpacing all other regions and reaching 1,337 individuals (35% of the global total). Europe recorded its second consecutive year of growth, with the number of billionaires rising nearly 8% to 1,081 (28% of the global total). Asia ranked as the third-largest region for billionaires, with an increase of 6.5% to 881 individuals.The report noted that since 2023, the AI investment boom has been one of the most significant drivers of global billionaire wealth creation, with its impact becoming even more pronounced in 2025 and the first half of 2026. Investor enthusiasm for generative AI, large language models, cloud computing, and AI software has attracted unprecedented capital, driving substantial market value revaluations across many tech companies. Since billionaire wealth is typically concentrated in corporate equity, founders and major shareholders of the world's leading tech companies have emerged as the biggest beneficiaries of the AI-driven tech stock rally, which has directly translated into significant growth in personal net worth.

Analysis: U.S. Stocks Could Set a 30-Year Record in 2026, No Widespread Selling Signals Yet
The Kobeissi Letter stated on X platform that the U.S. stock market has demonstrated unprecedented resilience in 2026, and this year is on track to become the first full year in at least 30 years without a single day of "80%+ NYSE downside volume" on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).The so-called "80%+ downside-volume days" refers to days when at least 80% of NYSE trading volume comes from declining stocks, typically viewed as a key signal of broad selling pressure in the market.Data shows that during the 2008 global financial crisis, the NYSE recorded 49 such trading days; during the 2022 bear market, there were 33; and in 2025, there were 9. Since 1997, this metric has averaged approximately 21 occurrences per year, and no full year has ever fallen below 5.The Kobeissi Letter noted that as of now, 2026 has seen almost no broad-based selling pressure, indicating that investor sell-off activity remains relatively limited and market structure is showing strong support. While the current U.S. stock market exhibits "unprecedented resilience," this phenomenon also implies that market risks may become more concentrated in potential future liquidity shifts or unexpected events.
