Trade it. Hedge it. Collateralise it. Tokenized stocks are now live on OKX. Starting July 16, OKX Unified Tokenized Stocks spot trading opened in four batches, 24 pairs on day one, the first wave of 47 rolling out through July 22 and 28, with a trading competition on the way too. Day-one lineup (all UTC), all quoted in USDT: · 03:00, Batch 1: XMU · 06:00, Batch 2: XSPCX, XSNDK, XSKHY, XSPY, XQQQ, XNVDA, XTSLA · 07:00, Batch 3: XMRVL, XINTC, XSOXL, XGOOGL, XMSFT, XCRCL, XAAPL, XEWY · 08:30, Batch 4: XAMD, XAMZN, XMETA, XMSTR, XLITE, XAVGO, XTSM, XIWM Each asset uses an "X" prefix and tracks the price of the underlying stock or ETF in share units, 1:1 backed by real shares held with xStocks (Backed Assets) on Solana and X Layer. What makes it different: · Trades 24/7, weekends included. Outside US hours, pricing is last close plus a market estimate, so you react to earnings the moment they hit · From 1 USDT, buy fractions · No broker, no fiat conversion, no second KYC. Just the USDT in your account · Grid and DCA bots run on every pair, the same tools you use on crypto · Blue chips will soon be usable as portfolio margin collateral, so one balance works twice · Same account as your stock perps, so you can hold XAAPL spot and hedge with an AAPL perp short without moving funds · Dividends are handled automatically, converted into extra share balance, no action needed The unified layer is the part nobody else has. Whichever provider issues the underlying token, OKX consolidates it into one "share", one order book, one set of rules. Would you set a DCA bot on tokenized Nvidia or Tesla the way you dollar-cost into BTC, or does trading tokenized US stocks around the clock feel like a whole different game? #OKXTokenizedStocksLive

Musk is turning SpaceX into an AI infrastructure company. He told staff that AI revenue could surpass all other SpaceX revenue combined in September. He also expects AI to account for 99% of the company's value within five years. SpaceX reported $2.56B in Q2 AI revenue, up 247% YoY. But Musk's target is far larger. He says compute could expand from roughly 1.4 GW today to 10 GW by end-2027, more than sevenfold. Using Musk's $30 to $50 per-watt revenue estimate, that would imply $300B to $500B a year. Cloud contracts show demand is not theoretical. Anthropic and Google have agreed to buy access to SpaceX's terrestrial compute capacity. The Google agreement covers roughly 110,000 Nvidia GPUs and $920M in monthly payments from October 2026 through June 2029. But those revenues depend on delivery. If SpaceX misses its Sep 30 GPU commitment, Google can terminate the agreement or accept fewer GPUs at proportionally lower fees after a one-month grace period. After Dec 31, either party can terminate with 90 days' notice. Chip supply is another variable. Musk says SpaceX will build its AI infrastructure exclusively on Nvidia chips, citing Vera Rubin as its preferred architecture. That could simplify the technology stack, but it also increases reliance on one supplier. The broader strategy connects several layers: · Earth-based clusters for training · Starlink for global connectivity · Starship for orbital deployment · Space-based compute for future inference The stack is not equally mature. Today's AI infrastructure revenue is still tied to terrestrial compute, while commercial-scale orbital inference remains in early development and has not been proven. So this is no longer only a rocket or satellite-internet story. It is a test of whether SpaceX can turn compute, connectivity and launch capacity into one scalable AI network. Q2 revenue provides an operating base, but the 10 GW target, $300B to $500B estimate and 99% value claim remain management forecasts. What will decide this story first: customer demand, chip supply or execution? #SpaceX99%ValueFromAI

The World Cup prediction campaign was the first live market to run on Exchange OS, OKX's open trading infrastructure on X Layer. Speed only counts when it holds under load, and across the full tournament, latency and block settlement both stayed under 100 milliseconds. A prediction went onchain almost as fast as you could make it, start to finish. If you are building a market of your own, this is the base layer it can run on.

The CPI print was calm. The policy debate is not. U.S. consumer prices rose 0.1% MoM in July after falling 0.4% in June. Headline CPI eased from 3.5% to 3.4% YoY, while core CPI slowed from 2.6% to 2.5%. The annual readings matched forecasts, removing an immediate upside surprise. Under the surface: · Energy fell 1.5% MoM, with gasoline down 2.9% · Shelter rose 0.1% and drove roughly two-thirds of the monthly CPI increase · Services excluding energy remained up 3.0% YoY · Energy was still 14.7% higher YoY, leaving future oil pass-through in focus The labor signal is weaker, though not broad-based yet. July payrolls fell by 23,000, while May and June were revised down by 103,000 combined. Losses were concentrated in local government education and retail, while healthcare added 22,000 jobs. Participation held at 61.4% in July but has fallen 0.7 percentage point since January. Purchasing power also remains tight. Real average hourly earnings fell 0.1% MoM and 0.2% YoY in July. That mix may reduce the urgency for another hike but does not settle September. The Fed held rates at 3.50%-3.75% in July by a 9-3 vote, with three officials preferring a 25 bp increase. Inflation remains elevated relative to its 2% goal, which the Fed formally measures using PCE rather than CPI. Around the release, CME FedWatch showed a near-even split between a hold and a hike. Several tests remain before the Sep 15-16 meeting: PPI on Aug 13, the Fed's preferred PCE measure on Aug 26, August payrolls on Sep 4 and CPI on Sep 11. The Fed will also publish updated economic and rate projections. For crypto, avoiding an upside CPI surprise reduces one near-term macro uncertainty, but the liquidity outlook remains data-dependent. Will the next inflation and labor reports support a hold, or revive hike pricing? #CPIInLineFedWatch

Washington is regulating crypto on two clocks. CLARITY cleared the Senate Banking Committee 15-9 in May, but its first Senate floor test was pushed to September. The expected cloture vote on the motion to proceed typically requires 60 votes. If it advances, debate, amendments and a final Senate vote would follow. Senate changes could send it back to the House. Outstanding discussions include ethics provisions, stablecoin rewards, DeFi and developer protections, and investor safeguards. Meanwhile, the SEC will hold an open meeting Aug 14 to consider whether to propose Regulation Crypto Assets, a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. The key word is "propose." Any release would still go through public comment and another Commission vote before becoming final. SEC Chair Paul Atkins previously floated three possible components with illustrative thresholds: · A startup exemption potentially lasting up to four years, with up to $5M in fundraising · A broader exemption potentially allowing up to $75M over 12 months, with tailored disclosures · A safe harbor clarifying when a crypto asset is no longer tied to an investment contract The actual proposal may differ. The SEC item is also narrower than full market-structure reform. It focuses on token offerings and fundraising under existing securities law, not comprehensive rules for exchanges, custody, spot-market oversight or durable SEC-CFTC boundaries. It builds on the SEC interpretation joined by the CFTC in March, which introduced a crypto-asset taxonomy and addressed when a non-security crypto asset may become subject to, or cease to be subject to, an investment contract. That interpretation also covered airdrops, protocol mining, protocol staking and the wrapping of non-security crypto assets. The U.S. path may now develop in layers: interpretation first, SEC offering rules next, legislation later. Can that sequence provide enough certainty, or does durable market structure still have to come from Congress? #SECActsAsCLARITYWaits

Exchange OS is OKX's open trading infrastructure on X Layer, and the World Cup prediction campaign that wrapped last month was the first live market built on it. Over one 30-day stretch of that run, X Layer settled more than 136 million transactions. Not a stress test, not a projection, just real people trading through it day and night. That same infrastructure is now open for builders to launch their own markets on. Read the whitepaper: https://web3.okx.com/whitepaper/okx-exchange-os.pdf

AI demand is becoming a financing test. Nvidia has signed MOUs with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to create independent platforms targeting over $500B of third-party capital for AI infrastructure. This is not one fund or $500B of Nvidia revenue. Final agreements remain pending. The timeline, debt-equity mix and partner commitments remain undisclosed, while the release does not specify whether Nvidia would provide any guarantees. The goal is to treat Nvidia compute as an infrastructure asset designed to generate long-duration, usage-linked revenue, helping customers finance GPUs and data centers. Intel is taking a different route. It proposed a $15B underwritten common-stock offering for general corporate purposes, including capex and working capital. Underwriters may purchase another $2.25B within 30 days, taking the potential gross offering size to $17.25B. At the time of the announcement, Intel had not priced the offering, so the final share count and dilution remained unknown. · Nvidia channels outside capital toward customer demand · Intel raises equity for its own balance sheet and expansion · One model raises questions about utilization and credit quality, the other about dilution and execution Financing is only one bottleneck. The IEA estimates grid constraints could delay around 20% of global data-center capacity planned for construction by 2030. Power access, equipment, construction and approvals still determine how quickly funded projects become usable compute. If GPUs are financed like long-duration infrastructure, utilization, upgrade cycles and residual value matter as much as headline demand. Both stocks fell on the day, while the market continued to debate whether capital access alone can support current AI valuations. For AI-linked crypto, more financed compute could expand capacity, while attention may increasingly shift toward whether real usage and revenue follow. Which matters more for the next AI cycle: access to capital, or proof that the compute can pay for itself? #Nvidia500BAIInfra
