Goldman Sachs: Q2 Earnings Up 135%, APAC Market Still Has 21% Upside Potential
According to Trend Research, Goldman Sachs' August 21, 2026 research report notes that the MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan Index (MXAPJ) posted Q2 net profit growth of 135% year-over-year and 52% quarter-over-quarter, with 46% of companies beating expectations and a median surprise of 4.3%. The information technology sector led the gains, with earnings up 390% YoY. The current MXAPJ forward P/E ratio stands at 11x, two standard deviations below its 10-year average, placing it in a deeply discounted range. Goldman Sachs has set a 12-month target price of 1,080 points, implying a 21% upside from the current level of 891 points, with an expected total return including dividends of approximately 24%. Goldman Sachs believes earnings resilience will drive valuation repair, recommending overweight positions in capital goods, healthcare, energy, tech hardware and semiconductors, and insurance, while suggesting underweights in autos, software & services, internet, utilities, and metals & mining. Key trading recommendations include going long on portfolios that outperform earnings revisions (launched in July 2021, with a cumulative return of 334%) and going long on AI infrastructure hardware and semiconductors (launched in June 2023, with a cumulative return of 63%). MSCI will adjust its index benchmarks on August 31, triggering approximately $42 billion in two-way capital flows across Asian markets, which could amplify volatility toward the end of the month. Downside risks to monitor include rising long-end US Treasury yields, escalating geopolitical tensions, and the pace of China’s economic recovery.
Coinbase Ventures Becomes the Most Active Crypto VC in the First Half of the Year, Completing 30 Deals Against the Bearish Trend
despite the continued downturn in the crypto market, Coinbase Ventures led the venture capital rankings in the first half of 2026 by completing 30 investments.Animoca Brands followed closely with 19 investments, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) completed 18 investments, and stablecoin issuer Tether participated in 15 deals.Over the past 12 months, Coinbase Ventures has completed 75 investments, continuing to lead the industry. Animoca Brands, YZi Labs, GSR, and a16z have completed 40, 39, 31, and 30 investments, respectively.However, the overall crypto fundraising market remains in a bear market cycle. In June, the total amount raised by crypto companies fell to $1.4 billion, a 63% decrease from $3.8 billion in April. The number of funding rounds also decreased from 89 in May to 61. In comparison, fundraising in April this year was only $698 million, hitting a new low in nearly two years.So far in July, the crypto industry has completed 12 financing rounds, totaling approximately $456 million.In terms of investment focus, Coinbase Ventures has primarily invested in payment protocols, DeFi, and infrastructure over the past six months. This includes participation in seven funding rounds for payment projects, four rounds for DeFi, and three rounds for infrastructure and Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization projects.By sector, the areas that attracted the most capital over the past year were DeFi, payments, and AI. DeFi projects completed 216 funding rounds, the payment sector completed 131 rounds, AI and crypto combination projects completed 128 rounds, and infrastructure projects secured 110 rounds.It is worth noting that while top institutions remain active, the overall number of market participants is decreasing. The number of independent investment institutions in June dropped to 242, nearly halved from 452 in October 2025, reflecting a concentration of capital in the bear market environment. (Cointelegraph)
Analysis: Pre-IPO Hype Spills Over into Prediction Markets, Pre-IPO Trading Becomes a New Trend
as anticipation builds for several potential major IPOs, "prediction market trading" centered around high-profile pre-IPO companies is rapidly heating up, with users betting on pre-IPO performance through prediction contracts.Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi have become primary channels, allowing users to engage in "yes/no" contract trading on key metrics such as valuation ranges and listing timelines. Prices are quoted in cents, settling at $1 if the outcome is correct.Given that ordinary investors cannot directly participate in equity investments in popular private companies like SpaceX and OpenAI before their IPOs, prediction markets are converting related expectations into tradeable, event-driven assets.Analysts believe that as the window for potential "mega IPOs" approaches, prediction markets are leveraging public sentiment and capital attention to turn IPO narratives into short-term volatility opportunities on both on-chain and compliant trading platforms, further expanding their influence in financial speculation and information pricing.

Morgan Stanley: AI M&A Wave Shows 'Full Spectrum' Development Trend
Morgan Stanley Global Head of Technology M&A Wally Cheng said that as companies race to fill technological gaps in areas such as chips, electricity, networking, and infrastructure, mergers and acquisitions in the artificial intelligence field are covering all sizes and expanding across multiple industries. Cheng stated: "I believe transaction activity will cover the full spectrum, including both private and public companies." While the semiconductors providing computing power for AI have attracted attention due to their "technological miracle" attributes, the infrastructure surrounding these chips also holds significant value, including areas such as networking, storage, electricity, and real estate. Cheng said that valuations in the AI industry remain "very difficult" because a balance must be struck between "imaginative unicorns with rainbow-like prospects" and actual execution risks. Evercore Senior Managing Director of Technology Investment Banking Tammy Kiely echoed similar views. She said potential acquirers must assess the potential value they themselves can create while weighing the cost of missing out on opportunities. (Jinshi)
BIT: Fed Expected to Hold Rates Steady, U.S. Stocks May Trend Higher Amid Volatility in September
According to an analysis by BIT official Chinese (@BITofficial_CN), US stocks historically tend to enter a consolidation phase in September, particularly ahead of midterm elections. Despite market concerns over a potential Federal Reserve rate hike next week, BIT anticipates that the Fed is more likely to keep interest rates unchanged, helping markets downplay the impact of short-term monetary policy and political uncertainties. The S&P 500 Index currently trades slightly above its 30-day moving average, and the overall uptrend remains intact, with trend-following funds continuing to maintain long exposure. Absent any major risk events, US stocks are still expected to trend higher amid fluctuations. While tensions surrounding Iran and oil price risks continue to unsettle markets, US equities as a whole display strong resilience.

"Setting 10 Big Targets First": Bullish Trend Remains Unchanged
following the release of today's US CPI data, the whale "Setting 10 Big Targets First" posted on X platform stating that Bitcoin has not fallen below $74,000, and the bullish trend remains unchanged."Setting 10 Big Targets First" previously stated: "Next, I'll look for opportunities to re-enter long positions. This trend has come more fiercely than I originally imagined, so the imagination for what's ahead can be bolder too. Getting on board at $80,000 or even above $80,000, I think it's still not too late—there's still room. $100,000 will most likely arrive sooner than I originally expected. Once we hit $100,000, we can reassess just how far this trend can go."
Bonkguy: The Recent Robinhood and BNB Chain Movements May Just Be a Warm-Up, with the Real Trend Potentially Starting in Q4
Odaily Odaily News Trader Bonkguy (unipcs) posted on platform X, stating that for those who missed the recent moves on Robinhood and BNB Chain, these movements may only be a warm-up. This typically occurs in the early stages of a new bull market cycle, or right before the market is about to accelerate. The real trend may begin in the fourth quarter, and when compared to it, the recent movements may only appear as minor fluctuations.Many people missed recent opportunities because they are still affected by their bear market experiences. The defensive habits that protected investors during the bear market may hinder their ability to profit during a bull market. The key lies in recognizing changes in the market environment and adjusting one's mental framework accordingly. Pullbacks will certainly occur as the market develops, but in a genuine bull market, pullbacks are often opportunities to accumulate positions in high-conviction assets. Market volatility may intensify further, and future conditions may exceed what most people expect. Ultimately, those who profit the most may not be the ones trying to predict every single move in the coming days, but rather those who identify the market's direction, position themselves early, and give their judgment enough time to play out.

Exchange Stablecoin Reserves Shrink 20%, Binance Share Rises Against the Trend to 68.5%
According to BeInCrypto, CryptoQuant data shows that centralized exchange stablecoin reserves fell from a high of about $80 billion at the end of 2025 to about $64 billion, shrinking by about $16 billion (about 20%). Among them, Binance showed relative resilience, with its stablecoin share rising from just over 60% to 68.5%, while platforms such as Coinbase, Bybit, and OKX saw more significant reductions. Meanwhile, on-chain analysis platform Santiment detected that pessimistic sentiments such as "crypto is dead" on X and Reddit continued to intensify, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index currently at 46, still in the fear zone. The total stablecoin supply also fell from a high of nearly $316 billion in May to $300.89 billion, but the decline was far lower than on the exchange side, indicating that some liquidity may have shifted on-chain rather than exiting completely.
Analysis: $63,000 Becomes the Key Battleground for Bitcoin Bulls and Bears and a Critical Market Support Level
According to Glassnode data reported by Odaily, the $63,000 level is emerging as a key support and battleground zone for Bitcoin (BTC) in the current market. Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin has continued to trade within the $60,000 to $67,000 range, with over 3% of BTC's circulating supply—approximately 515,000 BTC—having a cost basis concentrated near $63,000. Additionally, more than 362,000 BTC is concentrated in the $61,000 area. Glassnode notes that only the $78,000 to $82,000 range currently has a higher supply density than this zone, corresponding to Bitcoin's May cyclical peak.Furthermore, Bitcoin's current price nearly coincides with the 200-week moving average. Glassnode data shows that the 200-week MA currently stands at approximately $63,657, while BTC's price is around $63,822, indicating significant historical accumulation and strong cost support in this area.Looking at the 30-day cumulative Accumulation Trend Score, all types of investors are currently in a net accumulation state, with retail buying momentum being the most pronounced. Meanwhile, whale addresses holding more than 1,000 BTC continue to increase their positions, suggesting that long-term capital is still positioning itself. The $63,000 level has become a critical price band in Bitcoin's short-term market structure, and investor accumulation behavior may provide important reference for future price movements. (CoinDesk)

Serenity Strongly Backs AI Stock Guru Leopold: SK Hynix and Other Targets May See a "Reverse Jim Cramer" Trend
On the X platform, stock guru "White-Haired" Serenity posted that Jim Cramer recently advocated shorting SanDisk (SNDK), DRAM, and SK Hynix-related names favored by Leopold, while simultaneously labeling CrowdStrike (CRWD) a "must-buy." Serenity contended that AI capex beneficiaries favored by Leopold possess more compelling fundamentals, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix projected to command just a 2.8x to 3x forward P/E multiple for fiscal 2027. Samsung has secured long-term agreements extending to 2031 covering roughly 70% of its production capacity; SK Hynix operates with contractual price floors, while SanDisk is anticipated to achieve a 50% free cash flow margin and an 80% gross margin by 2030.
Goldman Sachs: Updated List of 23 Highest-Conviction Buys, Vertex Added, Interactive Brokers Removed
According to Trend Research, Goldman Sachs' September 1 research report indicated that the U.S. high-conviction list was updated this month; Vertex Pharmaceuticals was added, Interactive Brokers Group was removed, and the list remained at 23 stocks. All U.S. equity gains in August were concentrated in the first two trading days, after which the market entered a summer consolidation phase, with Nvidia's robust earnings failing to break the stalemate. The 10-year Treasury yield rose by 9 basis points from the start of the month, Brent crude was essentially flat, while gold, silver, and bitcoin gained 9%, 22%, and 24%, respectively. Vertex was the standout performer this month. Goldman Sachs believes the company has five billion-dollar-plus commercial opportunities spanning cystic fibrosis, pain management, kidney disease, hematology, and the endocrine field following its proposed acquisition of Crinetics. Market expectations for peak sales of povetacicept in IgAN stand at $3.2 billion, significantly below Goldman Sachs' $5.8 billion estimate. Outperformers included Estée Lauder, which rose 5.3% in August, and DoorDash, up 18.1%. Following a strong second quarter, TPG raised its FRE expectations by approximately 10%. Viking Holdings and Applied Materials came under pressure amid overly elevated expectations. The list is constructed based on bottom-up fundamental analysis, covering six major sectors: consumer, financials, healthcare, industrials, resources, and technology.
HSBC: Starlink Users Surpass 12 Million as Space Race Boosts Earth-Based Industries in Three Ways
According to Trend Research, an HSBC report released on August 18 spanning 12 industries points out that SpaceX's Starlink has crossed the inflection point for scale. As of June 30, it operates 10,200 satellites in orbit and serves 12 million broadband subscribers across 167 markets. Additionally, 7.4 million monthly active devices connect directly to mobile phones via satellite (Direct to Cell), covering 30 countries. Maersk has installed Starlink on more than 330 container ships, while United Airlines plans to upgrade 15 Boeing 737-800 aircraft per month. Starship aims to reduce launch costs to $100–$300 per kilogram, representing a decline of over 95% compared to historical averages. HSBC assesses that the space race is now benefiting terrestrial industries across three dimensions: From a communications standpoint, Starlink and ground-based telecom operators are predominantly complementary, filling coverage gaps in oceanic, desert, and post-disaster environments. Regarding compute infrastructure, orbital data centers currently cost three times as much as ground-based equivalents, acting mainly as strategic reserves; however, if TeraFab’s vertically integrated wafer fabs succeed, they could revolutionize the division of labor in the semiconductor industry. At the energy level, AI data centers have pushed the annual growth rate of U.S. power demand to 4%-5%, making renewable energy and the electrical grid the largest beneficiaries. Among the 12 industries covered, power, semiconductors, and robotics are being directly transformed.
DeFi Overall Deposits Decline 15%, RWA Deposits Rise Against Trend to $7.4 Billion

The growth was primarily concentrated in yield-bearing products, including tokenized treasury bonds and multi-strategy funds (such as JTRSY, BUIDL, sUSDS), with Aave, Morpho, and Kamino providing the deepest liquidity. Meanwhile, on-chain RWA spot trading volume increased by approximately 220% year-on-year, while native crypto spot trading volume on decentralized exchanges fell by approximately 70%.
