Last week, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $389.7 million, the largest single-week redemption in six weeks.
From August 10 to 14, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded cumulative net outflows of $389.7 million. Among them, BlackRock’s IBIT saw an outflow of about $55.5 million on August 14 alone.
The previous week was entirely the opposite: from August 3 to 7, there were five consecutive days of net inflows totaling about $853.5 million, the strongest since mid-April.
During the same period, Solana ETFs recorded net inflows of approximately $10.26 million, the largest weekly inflow since May. BTC traded around $62,000 that week.
If the CPI comes out favorable tonight, and then there’s an Investor Day tomorrow night as well, then Sandisk could potentially surge to 1400, but that’s only a bet. #sndk $SNDKB
A heart of inclusiveness ❤️ A strong team isn’t that everyone is the same, but that it can embrace differences. Some people are great at execution, some at creativity, and some at coordination. When you can accept differences, the team becomes more complete. ⭐️🌞🎁💰
Hong Kong’s stablecoin licensing has moved into a substantive phase, with the number of licenses in the first batch and compliance costs drawing close attention.
Since the Hong Kong Monetary Authority introduced its stablecoin licensing regime, market focus has centered on the number of institutions approved in the first batch, the requirements for reserve assets, and the specific standards for redemption mechanisms.
Key requirements in the regulatory framework include:
The issuer must be a company incorporated in Hong Kong, or a licensed institution with a physical presence in Hong Kong Reserve assets must be highly liquid assets, fully segregated from the issuer’s own assets, and held in custody independently Holders must be able to redeem at par value within a reasonable time, and the issuer may not impose unreasonable redemption conditions The issuer must meet ongoing compliance obligations related to anti–money laundering and counter-terrorist financing
Notably, compliance cost is a substantive threshold. After the three requirements—segregated custody of reserve assets, independent audits, and ongoing reporting—are layered together, operational costs are higher than most market participants initially expected. This suggests that the final approved list may concentrate among institutions that already have established financial licenses.
At the regional level, Singapore, Japan, and the UAE have all rolled out their respective stablecoin regulatory frameworks, and the designs differ—mainly in the permitted scope of reserve asset composition and the degree of restrictions on cross-border use.
The pace of stablecoin regulation directly affects the distribution structure of on-chain U.S. dollar liquidity. This variable typically takes several quarters to be reflected in trading data.
NVIDIA and SpaceX Collaborate to Develop Satellite Computing Payload; Starmind AI1 Project Announced
SpaceX announced that it is collaborating with NVIDIA to jointly develop the “Starmind AI1” satellite computing payload.
Technical configuration: Each Starmind satellite will be equipped with NVIDIA’s Rubin GPU and Vera CPU The goal is to achieve space computing capabilities at the level of a data center
Previously, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made remarks in public about the landscape of the AI competition, basing his judgment primarily on the scale of computing power at the infrastructure level rather than the models themselves.
Three directions mentioned: xAI, corresponding to foundational cognitive intelligence Tesla, corresponding to autonomous driving and real-time data acquisition Optimus, corresponding to humanoid robots
Tesla’s AI factories are equipped with large quantities of NVIDIA hardware, and its fleet is seen as the largest real-world data collection system currently in scale.
Notably, space computing is not a new concept; it has previously mostly been limited to research-level verification. This time marks the first publicly disclosed collaboration case in which a data-center-class GPU enters a commercial satellite payload. The key engineering challenges center on cooling and power consumption.
On August 7, market data showed that SpaceX withstood the pressure from a massive share unlock, and the share price surged more than 6% against the trend. The total market value returned to the $1.5 trillion mark, with the current price at $114.92.
Driven by the leading company, a number of space-related stocks rebounded in sync: Redwire (RDW) jumped 10.35%, Rocket Lab (RKLB) rose 1.14%, and Virgin Galactic (SPCE) closed up 1.38%.
On Thursday, SpaceX faced a share unlock of as many as 911.5 million shares. The number already exceeds 140% of the current publicly available float. In the short term, this is likely to amplify price volatility. The market has issued warnings that by the end of this year, a combined total of more than 4 billion shares are expected to become tradeable. This may continue to create potential selling pressure going forward. Even so, capital is still actively weighing and trading SpaceX’s long-term fundamentals. #spacex
U.S. commercial space company SpaceX has released its financial data for the second quarter of 2026.
Key Financials: Revenue: $7.8 billion, up 92% Net loss: $541 million, narrowing by $467 million compared with the $1.0 billion loss in the same period last year Adjusted EBITDA: $3.5 billion, up 191%, increasing from $1.2 billion to $3.5 billion Diluted loss per share: $0.09
Backlog Breakdown: About 56% is expected to be recognized as revenue within 1 year About 34% is expected to be recognized as revenue in 1 to 3 years
Business Highlights: In the past 90 days, completed two Starship V3 prototype test flights Communications segment revenue grew 66% year over year; operating profit grew 79% year over year. The main drivers were a doubling of Starlink user scale and strong growth in government and enterprise business Starshield has secured multi-year U.S. government orders worth over $6 billion Signed multiple cloud services cooperation agreements, with total contract value of $14.1 billion
Notably, the size of shares set to be released from lockup on August 6 is relatively large. Since the stock peaked after listing, SpaceX’s share price has fallen by more than 50% in total, and the market appears overly sensitive to potential selling pressure before and after the release.
Every trade has someone doing the opposite of what you think.
When you buy, someone else is selling to you. They’ve also done their homework, and they’re just as certain they’re right.
Thinking this through makes you a bit more humble: you’re not trading with the “market”; you’re trading with many other equally confident people like you.
Who’s right doesn’t matter as much—what matters is whether the one who’s wrong is prepared.
If you’re focused on low market-cap U.S. stocks with room for growth and an AI storage segment, you may want to take a look at $AEVA. $AEVA becomes a CPO/NPO optical source player. Background: $SIVE is viewed as a reliable CW DFB laser supplier for Aeva (known for LiDAR). Aeva Technologies Inc uses frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) sensing technology to design a 4D, chip-scale LiDAR (LiDAR-on-chip). The chip and its proprietary software are expected to advance LiDAR technology for a wide range of applications, including autonomous driving, consumer electronics, consumer health, industrial automation, and security and surveillance. This 4D LiDAR sensor can detect both speed and position simultaneously, enabling sensing and decision-making in automated systems. The company’s business spans North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia. Its revenue streams include sales of perception solutions or sensing systems, as well as non-recurring engineering services. By geography, most of its revenue comes from North America.
