hot_img The dark side of the moon accelerates capitalization, Kimi K3 rushes to a valuation of 50 billion dollars after its release

The Chinese AI large model company Dark Side of the Moon is accelerating its capitalization process, planning to start the final round of pre-IPO financing negotiations in August, with a target pre-investment valuation of $50 billion. Reports indicate that Dark Side of the Moon expects to complete a round of financing soon, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $31.5 billion. After completing this round of financing, the company will immediately engage in discussions for the next round of financing with potential investors, which may become its last private placement before entering the Hong Kong capital market.Market participants believe that if the financing plan proceeds smoothly, Dark Side of the Moon could initiate the process for a Hong Kong stock listing as early as this year. One of the key driving factors for this valuation increase is the company's recent release of the new generation large model Kimi K3. It is reported that Kimi K3 has a parameter scale of 28 trillion, supporting a context window of millions of tokens, making it one of the largest open-source models in the world by parameter scale. After the model was released, it quickly attracted market attention, prompting the company to adjust its new user subscription arrangements to ensure the user experience for existing customers.As the competition in generative AI enters a phase of comparison in computing power, user scale, and commercialization capabilities, large model companies are accelerating their search for capital support. Dark Side of the Moon's financing plan also reflects the market's ongoing interest in leading AI foundational model companies. However, the $50 billion valuation target also implies higher commercialization requirements. In the future, investors will focus on Dark Side of the Moon's revenue growth, control of computing costs, and whether the Kimi series models can form a stable business model. If the financing and listing plans proceed smoothly, Dark Side of the Moon may become an important case of capitalization for Chinese AI large model companies.

CoinGecko released the cryptocurrency report for the second quarter of 2026, with the total market capitalization dropping to $2.1 trillion

CoinGecko officially released the "Q2 2026 Cryptocurrency Industry Report." The report shows that the global cryptocurrency market has declined for the third consecutive quarter, with the total cryptocurrency market capitalization dropping 12.6% (approximately $304.8 billion) in Q2, falling to $2.1 trillion, the lowest level since September 2024. During this period, major assets Bitcoin and Ethereum fell 14.2% and 25.4% respectively, underperforming the US stock market, while Hyperliquid (HYPE) managed to break into the top ten by market capitalization against the trend.In terms of capital flow and trading platform performance, the total market capitalization of stablecoins decreased by 1.6% to $30.51 billion, marking the first contraction since Q3 2023, with USDT's market share slightly rising to 60%. The spot trading volume of centralized exchanges (CEX) plummeted by 27.9% to $1.95 trillion in Q2, with Binance maintaining its dominance at 38.7% market share; in contrast, perpetual contract (Perps) trading showed stronger resilience, only declining 10.0% to $12.7 trillion.Compared to the overall market's weakness, specific niche segments experienced explosive growth in Q2. Driven by major sporting events, the trading volume of prediction markets significantly increased by 48.7%, reaching $113.8 billion, with Kalshi expanding its lead over Polymarket with a 58.9% quarterly market share. Additionally, in the tokenized collectibles sector, Collector Crypt performed impressively, capturing 62.8% of the trading volume share in June, surpassing Courtyard to become the absolute leader in this field.

BlackRock deposited approximately $257 million in BTC and ETH into Coinbase Prime, and Hyperscale Data assets have fully covered its market capitalization

According to BBX data, yesterday institutional funds showed a divergence in their perception of the bottom for Bitcoin, with the core dynamics as follows:BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: $BLK) yesterday, related entities under the company deposited 2,700 BTC (approximately $169 million) and 52,956 ETH (approximately $88.17 million) into Coinbase Prime institutional custody accounts, totaling about $257 million; reports also indicated "possible additional deposits." This deposit occurred against the backdrop of BTC approaching the key technical support level of $59,000, leading to divergent market interpretations: the optimistic interpretation believes that BlackRock is actively accumulating at the extremely low fear index of 18, signaling institutional-level bottom investment; the cautious interpretation suggests this could be passive rebalancing due to IBIT redemptions or internal asset rebalancing, and does not necessarily represent new buying. Regardless of the intent, the scale of $257 million accounts for about 0.5% of IBIT's current approximately $48 billion to $50 billion AUM, which is relatively small, but as a signal of institutional behavior in an extremely fearful market environment, it holds significant emotional reference value.Hyperscale Data Inc (NYSE: $GPUS) recently disclosed its balance sheet showing that the company holds a total of approximately $94.8 million in cash, restricted cash, Bitcoin, and silver, equivalent to 100.42% of the company's total market value of common stock—meaning the physical assets held by the company fully cover the current total market value. The company holds a 10-year, $1.2 billion AI computing power master service agreement (MSA), providing 20 megawatts of AI computing capacity for its Michigan facility, allowing for the continuous accumulation of Bitcoin and precious metals through cash flow from this contract without incurring debt. This business model—locking in cash flow with AI computing contracts and continuously accumulating hard assets with zero leverage—has been referred to by analysts as "the de-leveraged digital asset reserve model against the Strategy," providing a stark contrast in the current market context where Strategy leverage models are under pressure.

Privacy coins continue to receive inflows of funds, and HYPE's market capitalization once surpassed that of Dogecoin

The privacy coin sector led the decline, giving back most of the recent gains in the crypto market. According to HTX data, ZEC once dropped 5.2% to $619, marking the largest decline among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, but it still rose 8.2% over the past 7 days. Zcash has been one of the strongest performing assets in the crypto market over the past few weeks. Due to Multicoin Capital disclosing its holdings earlier this month and the overall narrative surrounding privacy coins heating up, ZEC has attracted institutional attention. Analysts believe that a 5% pullback after such a rally is more like profit-taking rather than new selling pressure, as structural buyers of privacy coins have been accumulating during the rise rather than distributing.Hyperliquid's HYPE token briefly surpassed Dogecoin in market capitalization during the Asian session before retreating. HYPE fell 4% to $59, while Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped 0.8% to $0.1009. Driven by the launch of perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid ahead of SpaceX's listing last week, HYPE still rose 23.6% over the past 7 days. The macro backdrop has driven a cautious tone in the market. The U.S. Central Command confirmed strikes on missile launch sites in Iran and vessels attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, describing them as defensive actions. Brent crude oil rose nearly 2% to $98 per barrel, rebounding from a 7% plunge on Monday (when the London and New York markets were closed for a holiday). The dollar strengthened against all G10 currencies, gold fell 0.6% to $4,545, and S&P 500 futures maintained a 0.6% gain after the U.S. market was closed on Monday.
