According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 16 energy storage report pointed out that electricity demand from data centers is surging, traditional grid expansion requires four to eight years, and energy storage has become the fastest solution with a 12 to 18-month deployment cycle. Goldman Sachs estimates that by 2030, behind-the-meter energy storage opportunities in the US will bring about 50GWh of increment, plus 11GWh from 800V DC data centers, total US energy storage deployment will reach 172GWh, significantly upwardly revised from the previous 112GWh. Globally, annual energy storage installations are expected to reach 2100GWh by 2040. Goldman Sachs believes energy storage is transitioning from renewable energy supporting equipment to a necessity for AI infrastructure, which will change the industry valuation logic. In terms of targets, FLNC (Buy) secured exclusive battery partner qualification for Nvidia DSX Vera Rubin, data center pipeline projects reached 12GW, up 30% sequentially; CATL (Buy) has about 30% global energy storage market share, already used in Shanghai SenseTime data center; Tesla (Neutral) 2025 energy storage deployment 46.7GWh, energy business 2028 estimated revenue 29 billion USD; Energy Vault (Neutral) received 6x EV/EBITDA valuation; LGES (Buy) North America ESS capacity expected to reach 50GWh by end of 2026. Canadian Solar, Ford, Samsung SDI, Shoals, Sungrow are also worth watching. Goldman Sachs emphasizes the need to distinguish those with real order support
Odaily reports, Ondo Perps announced that since its public launch one week ago, total trading volume has exceeded $3 billion, while 24-hour trading volume has doubled to $200 million compared to the first day of launch.The platform has also added two new Korean stock tokenization targets: SK Hynix (SKHY) and Samsung Electronics (SMSN). Ondo Perps allows users to directly use tokenized stocks and ETF holdings as margin for perpetual contracts, offering non-U.S. users up to 20x leverage on assets such as Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, as well as gold and silver.The Ondo Perps team previously stated that using U.S. stocks as collateral is just the starting point, and future AI-driven trading flows will become a key focus area.
Odaily Bitget has launched a Unified Trading Account (UTA), incorporating over 370 assets, including 100 US stock tokens (rTokens), into a unified margin pool. Under this mechanism, users' held US stock tokens (rTokens) not only entitle them to stock dividends but can also serve as margin and collateral for borrowing, further enhancing capital efficiency.The first batch of US stock tokens included in the margin system covers 100 mainstream underlying assets such as Apple (rAAPL), Nvidia (rNVDA), and Tesla (rTSLA), with discount rates set according to asset tiers, reaching up to 95%. As the product evolves, Bitget will continue to expand the list of assets eligible for margin and leveraged trading, further bridging the liquidity gap between traditional financial assets and the crypto trading ecosystem.
According to The Block, Hyperliquid's HIP-3 framework—a permissionless mechanism that allows developers to freely deploy perpetual contract markets—has seen its trading volume share surge from about 2% at the beginning of the year to nearly 50% currently, with growth primarily driven by demand for on-chain stock trading. Currently, this sector is dominated by TradeXYZ, whose products include XYZ100, which tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index, as well as perpetual contracts for individual stocks such as NVIDIA and Tesla, all settled in stablecoins. Analysts point out that the core appeal of on-chain stock perpetual contracts lies in two aspects: first, the no-expiration design avoids time value decay compared to traditional options, making it more intuitive for retail traders accustomed to simple long/short positions; second, 24/7 non-stop trading enables users to respond immediately when news is released, without waiting for traditional markets to open.
"White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity posted on X platform, pointing out that IBK Research released a report last month on the Boston Dynamics supply chain. The report indicates that Boston Dynamics plans to achieve an annual production capacity of 30,000 units only by 2028, while Chinese robot manufacturers are expected to reach a total production capacity of 100,000 units by the end of 2026. This may lead institutions to begin revaluing the humanoid robot sector.In terms of the competitive landscape, the U.S. camp includes Tesla, Figure, Apptronik, and Agility Robotics, while Boston Dynamics is controlled by South Korea's Hyundai Motor Group. Major Chinese players include Unitree Robotics, Fourier Intelligence, AGIBOT, UBTECH Robotics, and XPeng Robotics. European companies include Neura, Pal Robotics, Wandercraft, and Oversonic.Additionally, IBK Research estimates that Atlas shipments will reach 11,290 units by 2028, and will increase to 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, and 50,000 units respectively between 2029 and 2032. However, Serenity questioned this linear growth model, arguing that the actual volume ramp-up curve is more likely to follow an S-curve. Serenity predicts that shipments could reach 15,000 to 20,000 units by 2028, increase to 40,000 to 70,000 units by 2029, and further rise to 90,000 to 140,000 units by 2030.
the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and PitchBook recently released the "Venture Monitor" report, noting that after SpaceX's listing and the potential IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI, the combined value generated by these three companies will reach an unprecedented level. The report states: "With SpaceX going public, combined with the future exits of these companies, the value created will surpass the total exit value of all US VC-backed companies since 2000." The core factor lies in the extremely high valuation expectations of these three companies.SpaceX is currently valued at approximately $1.77 trillion, while Anthropic and OpenAI are also moving towards multi-trillion-dollar enterprise valuations. The market estimates that the combined valuation of the three companies could exceed $4 trillion. This scale far surpasses past large-scale tech IPOs. Data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows that total US IPO fundraising last year was about $70 billion, whereas SpaceX's single-company valuation has already reached a level that traditional large-scale IPOs find hard to match. As a once-highly-watched tech IPO case, Uber was valued at around $84 billion when it went public in 2019, which is less than 5% of SpaceX's current valuation.However, the comparison by NVCA and PitchBook is based on "enterprise value created," not the actual cash-out amounts for investors. Additionally, the analysis does not include non-US companies like Alibaba. Furthermore, the value created by already-public companies such as Apple, Google Android, YouTube, and Instagram is not counted in the VC exit statistics.The report points out that over the past 25 years, the US tech market has seen several historic IPOs, including Google in 2004, Tesla in 2010, and Meta in 2012. These companies have since become some of the world's most valuable enterprises. Additionally, companies like LinkedIn, Slack, and WhatsApp were acquired for over $20 billion.The NVCA believes that the current IPO cycle driven by artificial intelligence (AI) could further break these records. The analysis suggests two main reasons driving this trend:First, tech companies are staying private for longer periods than in the past, accumulating higher valuations through prolonged financing and business expansion. If today's Google were in its early stages, it might also choose to go public later to achieve a higher market valuation.Second, the AI industry is highly capital-intensive. Training large AI models requires massive investment, pushing AI companies to continuously raise substantial funds and driving rapid valuation growth.Industry insiders believe that the potential scale of IPOs by SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI will test the capacity of the US capital market. As AI companies transition from the private financing stage to the public market, how trillions of dollars in tech assets flow into the stock market will become a focus for investors. (DigitalToday)

that, according to official news from Bitget, the platform has officially launched its direct US stock connection product, "Bitget US Stocks," allowing users to buy and sell over 10,000 real US stocks and ETFs directly using USDC. The service executes settlements through licensed US brokers, granting users full shareholder rights including cash dividends and voting rights. It covers pre-market, regular, and after-hours trading sessions, and supports the seamless transfer of existing stock holdings from other brokerage platforms into Bitget. This move is another key step in Bitget's US Stock 2.0 strategy, following the launch of the Reality protocol and rToken-based US stock tokens in early June, aimed at providing a more intuitive trading interface for users accustomed to traditional brokerage experiences.To coincide with the new product launch, Bitget is simultaneously rolling out an accelerated stock transfer program. During the promotional period, users who transfer US stock holdings from external brokerages such as Futu, Tiger Brokers, moomoo, Longbridge, Webull, and IBKR into Bitget have the chance to receive a transfer fee subsidy of up to $10,000. The registration period runs from June 22, 19:00 to July 10, 23:59 (UTC+8), and subsidies will be distributed to eligible users every Monday. Transferred assets can be held or traded directly within the Bitget account.On June 5th, Bitget announced the listing of US stock tokens launched by its compliant RWA protocol. It currently supports over 500 US stocks and ETFs, including SpaceX, Tesla, and Nvidia, with assets under management (AUM) exceeding $50 million. The launch of direct US stock connection further completes Bitget's US stock product matrix, offering users accustomed to traditional brokerage experiences a more intuitive trading interface and experience.
: Andrew Left, founder of the short-selling firm Citron Research, has his sentencing hearing scheduled for August 31, 2026, with a theoretical maximum sentence of up to 265 years. The final sentence will still be determined by the court based on the specific circumstances of the case.Prosecutors allege that Left frequently used short-term options expiring within 0 to 5 trading days to bet on stock price volatility in the immediate aftermath of a report or tweet. He would set limit orders in advance, with exit prices often far from the targets publicly stated by Citron. The stocks involved include Nvidia, Tesla, Facebook, General Electric, Luckin Coffee, etc. (Lawstreetmedia)
: According to an official announcement, to meet users' round-the-clock trading needs, Bitget Stock Spot (rToken) has officially launched its weekend trading feature. The first batch supports 20 popular U.S. stock options, including rAAPL (Apple), rNVDA (NVIDIA), and rTSLA (Tesla).During U.S. stock market closures, the platform will generate continuous weekend trading prices based on Friday's closing prices, market maker quotes, and market expectations. This feature supports limit orders and stop-loss/take-profit settings. To prevent abnormal fluctuations, the system implements an approximate ±20% protection limit for weekend limit orders.rToken, identified by the letter "r" followed by the stock ticker (e.g., rNVDA for NVIDIA), is issued by Reality, a licensed RWA protocol under Bitget. Through a partnership with compliant broker Alpaca, it connects directly to global liquidity pools such as Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange. Its features include: 1:1 reserves of the underlying assets held by a licensed custodian, stock dividends distributed 1:1 in token form, corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits synchronously reflected, and holdings can be used as joint margin for unified accounts and U-margined contracts, allowing users to flexibly manage funds while holding global stock assets.
SpaceX is progressing with its IPO and seeking a valuation of approximately $1.78 trillion. If realized, it would become the world's seventh-largest company by market cap. However, the mid-to-long-term business path justifying this valuation remains unclear.Furthermore, SpaceX's core narrative is shifting. In February of this year, Musk integrated SpaceX with xAI, making artificial intelligence a key component of the company's strategy. Compared to the original core vision of "making humanity a multi-planetary species," AI now occupies a more prominent position in the company's narrative. In the first quarter, xAI-related business reportedly accounted for over three-quarters of capital expenditures, while approximately 93% of the total addressable market mentioned in the IPO filing is also related to AI.Musk has long been adept at restructuring business narratives to align with market preferences, as seen in previous cases like integrating SolarCity into Tesla and merging Twitter with the xAI ecosystem. SpaceX's new narrative combines rocket launches with AI, envisioning the deployment of AI data centers in orbit to build future computing infrastructure. However, SpaceX launched approximately 2,200 tons of payload into orbit last year, while Musk has suggested that realizing the orbital data center vision would require an annual launch capacity of about 1 million tons. Although Starlink and the rocket business already hold industry-leading positions, genuine cash flow will ultimately be needed to validate this massive valuation hypothesis. (Financial Times)
market analysts have pointed out that if Elon Musk's proposed merger between SpaceX and Tesla proceeds, SpaceX may need to issue new shares equivalent to 94% of its current outstanding shares to acquire Tesla, increasing the total share count to approximately 8 billion. However, the financial logic of the transaction faces challenges. Tesla's GAAP net profit over the past 12 months has dropped from $15 billion in 2023 to $3.9 billion. After excluding regulatory credit revenue and Bitcoin gains, its core operating profit stands at only about $2.3 billion.Analysts believe that this transaction may essentially be an attempt to use a high-valuation asset to acquire another similarly overvalued company, leaving significant uncertainty regarding its long-term profitability and cash flow performance. The combined company's valuation could reach $3.4 trillion, with SpaceX estimated at $1.75 trillion and Tesla's current market cap around $1.65 trillion. Musk may be leveraging the high valuation from SpaceX's impending IPO to support Tesla, which is under earnings pressure. (Fortune)
