BlockBeats reports on June 17th that KOL Ansem is considering increasing his holdings of SpaceX stock, believing that low float leads to supply and demand mismatches being underestimated by the market. SpaceX's trading volume and options trading volume are both among the highest, and market pessimism may push out more investors. He also states that there is a misunderstanding in the market regarding SpaceX's diversification progress, with the end of the year potentially making it the world's most valuable company; the 40% unlock on August 30th could become the first partial peak node.

Goldman Sachs states that the world has entered a post-modern cycle, with rising macroeconomic volatility, increased real interest rates and government intervention, and regionalization intensifying; market returns will focus on earnings per share growth, while valuation expansion is constrained by rising capital costs. AI-driven private capital expenditure combined with geopolitical public investments creates a super cycle of capital spending; the five giants are expected to significantly increase capital expenditure by 2026, with funds flowing from data centers to energy, industrial, and infrastructure sectors, and rising defense spending boosting demand. In the future, stocks benefiting from capital expenditure preferences, such as AI, defense, power and electrification, and the HALO four themes, may see flat index returns but improved alpha value.

ECB President Lagarde stated that artificial intelligence could trigger a financial crisis, and central banks will prepare and enhance resilience to address the risks. She warned that the real risk lies in the turbulence after AI enters the real world, not AI itself. Historically, the forces that cause job reductions and erosion of savings have been greater than any technological innovation—namely, financial crises. Central banks will send letters to bank CEOs, asking them to prepare for AI attacks and increase investments to improve risk resistance. Ultimately, a global AI governance mechanism needs to be established, similar to the nuclear non-proliferation treaties during the Cold War.

BlockBeats reports that Serenity states approximately 80% of major global clients have adopted LPKF equipment, with glass substrates potentially becoming the next breakthrough point in packaging technology. It is expected that Absolics and others will ramp up production in the second half of 2026, with progress in 2027 alongside Samsung Electronics, and a major shift may occur in 2028, but upstream exposure to LPK has not yet been confirmed. Serenity believes that 80% is already quite remarkable, and after capacity expansion, the market may set its prices; it already holds LPKF, and the upward trend may not require new news catalysts, as the market is approaching the mass production timeline.

By 2026, crypto platforms began collectively turning their attention to the U.S. stock market.
Last Friday evening, SpaceX completed its IPO in the U.S. stock market, almost pushing this sentiment to a new high. As one of the most watched tech companies globally, SpaceX's IPO was not just a capital market event but also a stress test for a "U.S. stock entry" aimed at retail investors worldwide.
On one side was extremely high market enthusiasm. SpaceX's first-day trading performance was strong, with the stock price significantly rising above the offering price, and discussions about it quickly spread from traditional brokers and financial media to the crypto community. On the other side was a more direct experience gap for many investors: some platforms had previously promoted SpaceX IPO subscriptions loudly, but in the end, they did not actually allocate shares to users, and refunds were the only outcome.
In fact, this case is not

BlockBeats reports that Wosh cannot, by himself, bring about the interest rate cuts demanded by Trump, but he emphasized that the Federal Reserve will not carry on as usual. He appointed Paul Winfrey and Daniel Hail as interim advisors, saying there are many redundant staff inside the Federal Reserve, and that it may cut about 3,000 Washington-based employees. Powell had already started layoffs last year. Wosh also proposed using new inflation indicators, such as the trimmed mean, to measure inflation and focus on the potential inflation rate. After the new advisors took their posts, discussions on institutional reform began, and the press conference or the first release may send signals about the direction.
