SpaceX stock price drops or comes up with an opportunity for Morgan Stanley's analyst to look at its AI business valuation

On 25 July, Morgan Stanley Analyst stated that the sale of SpaceX stock had pushed its stock price to near a level that meant that investors valued their artificial intelligence operations at zero. The Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote in his report to the client on Friday: “We believe that there is a disconnect between the current growing pessimism of investors and the largely unchanged fundamentals of the company, which creates an attractive opportunity for investors to buy spaceX stock.” Jonas indicated that many investors expected that, with the first stock limitation period expiring next month, part of the insiders could sell their shares, and SpaceX would fall further to $100 per share. In his view, at this level, investors were in fact giving SpaceX a zero or even negative valuation of artificial intelligence operations. The analyst gave SpaceX equities a target price of $300, over 50 per cent of which was derived from the company ' s artificial intelligence operations。

The U.S. Senate may not be able to pass Clarity Act before the summer recess

On 24 July, John Thune, leader of the majority party in the United States Senate, stated that the CIATY Act might not be able to complete its adoption before the summer recess, but that it was hoped that at least the entire House review process would be initiated before the recess. The industry had previously considered August 7 as an important window for the adoption of the Act during the year, and the possibility of completing legislation by 2026 would be reduced if it were to be extended until the autumn.

Coinbase Information: Maintaining a neutral view of the Q3 encryption market

On 24 July, Coinbase Institute and Glassnode jointly published a market report to maintain a neutral outlook for the encrypted market in the third quarter of 2026. In the second quarter, the total market value of the encrypted market, which does not contain a stable currency, fell by about 12 per cent, with a record high in the supply of stable currency. The chain data indicate that bitcoin may be moving from the revision/adjustment phase to the accumulation phase, with a condensed valuation, a recent active supply approaching a low point of many years, and a share of the profit-making supply falling off the path of historical statistics (historically corresponding to accumulation rather than distribution regions). However, the macroeconomic liquidity environment is tight. The Fed, led by Kevin Warsh, has maintained the hawk position, with the United States dollar being strong, superseding geo-risk, pressure on the digital asset bank to sell, and the first half of the year of the BTC/ETH spot ETF net outflow (although the rate of outflows has begun to slow down), and has therefore been cautious as a whole。
