According to the official announcement, Bitget has launched the IPO pre-market perpetual contract MOONSHOT/USDT, supporting up to 10x leverage and 24/7 trading.It is reported that Dark Side of the Moon is a Chinese artificial intelligence research and application company, known for its Kimi series products, and has received investments from institutions such as Alibaba and Tencent. It is also one of the potential IPO candidates with high attention in China's large model track market.

According to the official announcement, the third phase of Gate Pre-IPOs will launch Moonshot AI (KIMI) and introduce a dedicated trading market mechanism for Pre-IPOs, providing exclusive trading and circulation channels for pre-listing asset certificates.The KIMI asset certificate is a mirror note designed based on the changes in the enterprise value of Moonshot AI. The subscription period is from August 11, 2026, 15:00 to August 13, 2026, 15:00 (UTC+8), allowing users to participate using both USDT and GUSD. After the subscription ends, the asset certificates will be 100% unlocked and issued on August 17, 2026, at 15:00 (UTC+8).It is worth noting that, unlike previous participation methods in Pre-IPOs, this phase of KIMI asset certificates is expected to open a dedicated market for trading about one month after the completion of subscription and distribution. Users holding positions can trade and circulate based on real-time market prices, choose to sell part of their holdings to recover principal, or continue to hold the remaining assets to participate in the future value changes of the target enterprise. The holding period for the profit portion is expected to range from several months to several years, depending on the target enterprise's IPO process or other exit arrangements; if the target enterprise completes an IPO in the future, the platform will provide subsequent asset handling solutions based on actual conditions, including stock asset exchange or stock token exchange methods.

Michael Kratsios, the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, stated that information has been obtained showing that Moonshot AI is distilling Anthropic's Fable model by building a large-scale internal platform for the development of its K3 model, and has switched access methods multiple times to evade detection. He also pointed out that Moonshot AI has purchased GB300 servers and accessed GB300 equipment in Thailand, which may be used for training AI models. Kratsios stated that the U.S. supports legitimate distillation and open innovation but opposes the theft of U.S. technology through large-scale secret industrial distillation methods. Currently, Moonshot AI has not publicly responded to this.

According to PR Newswire, AI-driven anti-fraud infrastructure InfoHawk announced the completion of a $2.25 million Pre-Seed round of financing, led by Moonshots Capital, with participation from former Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission Jon Leibowitz, AppNexus founder Brian O'Kelley, former head of advertising at Meta Rob Goldman, GitHub CTO Vlad Fedorov, and others.The new funds are intended to support its efforts to help businesses detect, analyze, and combat large-scale online fraud, phishing sites, brand impersonation, and deepfake attacks through AI content recognition and deep infrastructure analysis technology.

According to Bloomberg, Moonshot AI is in preliminary talks with potential investors for a new round of financing, aiming to raise over $1 billion, with a maximum of $2 billion, and a valuation target of $30 billion.The report states that this is the company's third round of financing in six months, aimed at addressing the increasingly fierce AI competition in China.

According to Benchmark Studio, after the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued inquiries to multiple companies regarding overseas shareholding structures, Chinese tech startups such as Moonshot AI and DeepRoute.ai are evaluating the feasibility of relocating their company registration from overseas back to China. They are currently discussing related plans with lawyers and have not yet made a final decision. Shanghai AI model developer StepFun has taken the lead in initiating the process of dismantling its overseas shareholding structure to expedite the regulatory approval process for its Hong Kong IPO.The direct trigger for this tightening of regulations was Meta's acquisition of the AI agency Manus, founded by Chinese individuals, for $2 billion—relevant authorities have ordered the cancellation of this acquisition, leading to a systematic review by regulators of the "domestic operation, overseas registration" company model.Dismantling the red-chip structure is complex, typically taking six months to a year, involving multiple steps such as repurchasing offshore equity, establishing joint ventures, and investors re-entering shares. Additionally, the lock-up period for joint ventures listed in Hong Kong lasts up to 12 months, which is twice as long as that for ordinary red-chip stocks. Analysts point out that if the red-chip structure faces comprehensive restrictions, it will significantly weaken the ability of Chinese startups to obtain dollar financing from overseas.
