According to CNBC, SpaceX plans to publicly release its IPO prospectus as early as next week, aiming to start a global roadshow on June 8 to formally introduce the deal to investors. The company secretly submitted its IPO application in April this year. This IPO is expected to become the largest in history. In February this year, SpaceX completed a merger with Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI, resulting in a post-merger entity valuation of $1.25 trillion. Reports indicate that the company's target fundraising scale for the IPO is about $70 billion to $75 billion, more than double the record set by Saudi Aramco in 2019. The expected valuation for the SpaceX IPO has risen from $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion. According to regulations, the prospectus must be made public at least 15 calendar days before the roadshow begins, but SpaceX and its advisors hope to disclose it earlier to give investors more time to digest the financial data. Due to the unprecedented scale of this stock sale, SpaceX's advisory team is seeking special sales channels, particularly targeting retail investors outside the U.S. who prefer long-term holdings, including engaging with brokers in countries such as the UK, Japan, and Canada to secure allocation shares for their clients. As a result of this news, satellite and space concept stocks like Redwire, AST SpaceMobile, and Rocket Lab surged by 22.08%, 10.96%, and 6.77% respectively on the 14th.

James Comer, the chairman of the U.S. House Oversight Committee and a Republican lawmaker, has written to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, requesting information regarding potential conflicts of interest related to personal investments and OpenAI. The investigation focuses on Altman's extensive personal investment network. Since Altman does not hold equity in OpenAI, his estimated net worth of approximately $3.5 billion primarily comes from his personal investment portfolio, which includes companies like Helion, Stripe, and Reddit.According to a previous report by The Wall Street Journal, Altman had pushed for OpenAI to invest $500 million in the fusion company Helion, while Altman himself has invested at least $375 million in the company. Comer stated that this has raised concerns about whether Altman is using OpenAI to enhance the valuation of his personally held companies. Additionally, attorneys general from states such as Florida, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, West Virginia, and Louisiana have also written to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, requesting an investigation into whether Altman has engaged in "self-dealing" and serious conflicts of interest.Meanwhile, Altman is set to testify in court on Tuesday and Wednesday in the case where Musk is suing OpenAI. Musk accuses Altman and OpenAI co-founders of violating the original "non-profit" commitment by shifting OpenAI to a profit-making operation. Although the conflict of interest investigation and Musk's lawsuit are independent events, Altman's personal investment issues have been raised multiple times during the trial. OpenAI board chairman Bret Taylor defended Altman in court, stating that he has been "open and transparent" regarding personal investment matters.

According to CoinDesk, Denis Beau, the Deputy Governor of the Bank of France, has publicly called for a joint effort from the European public and private sectors to promote the development of euro tokenized currency in response to the dominance of the US dollar stablecoin. This move stands in stark contrast to the position of European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, who is cautious about private stablecoins, believing that USDT, USDC, and others pose financial stability risks, and favors a central bank-led digital euro plan expected to be implemented by 2029.Beau proposed a "triple objective" for Europe: to adapt central bank currency services, to promote the issuance of pan-European tokenized private currency by regulated institutions, and to strengthen the MiCA regulatory framework. His stance is highly aligned with the Qivalis consortium, which consists of 12 major European banks including ING, BBVA, and BNP Paribas, and plans to launch a private digital euro within this year. Beau also revealed that the euro system will launch its first tokenized wholesale central bank currency service by the end of the year.
