Moonshot AI prepares for Hong Kong IPO, with listing possible in as little as six months

Moonshot AI has begun preparing for a Hong Kong initial public offering and could complete the listing in as little as six months, according to a report cited by PANews from Sina Finance. The company has informed investors that it is adjusting its corporate structure as part of the IPO process. The development comes one day after Moonshot AI formally unveiled Kimi K3 in the early hours of July 17. The company described Kimi K3 as its strongest model to date, with 2.8 trillion total parameters, a 1 million-token context window, and native multimodal capabilities. Moonshot AI said the model is built for long-horizon intelligent coding and self-evolving workflows, and called it the world’s largest open-source model by parameter count currently available.

Lawyer says a $100 on-chain "SpaceX" purchase may have nothing to do with SpaceX stock

A commentary republished by WuBlockchain from Liu Lei’s legal team argues that many on-chain "tokenized stocks" tied to names such as SpaceX, SanDisk, Nvidia and Tesla do not necessarily give buyers any actual equity in those companies. The piece says the tokenized stock market grew from $327 million to $1.5 billion over the past year, drawing in investors who cannot directly access the U.S. stock market but still want exposure through crypto rails. The article breaks these products into three legal structures. One is a fully registered model in which token holders are entered into the official shareholder register, with Superstate cited as an example and described as a transfer agent registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that records equity on Solana. A second, more common structure uses an offshore special purpose vehicle, or SPV, to hold real shares while on-chain tokens represent a claim on that entity rather than direct stock ownership. A third category has no real shares at all and instead tracks price through funding rates and oracles, similar to perpetual contracts. The piece also notes that the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation plans a tokenized securities pilot in 2026 and that the New York Stock Exchange is exploring a 24-hour tokenized stock trading system. For mainland China users, it highlights three risks: potential securities law issues when soliciting others, foreign exchange and tax exposure when using USDT or similar tokens for deposits and withdrawals, and high cross-border litigation costs.

Flap founder Cedric buys STOCKCAT (SCAT), a meme token issued in the Robinhood Chain ecosystem

BlockBeats reported on July 18, citing on-chain data, that Flap founder Cedric has bought STOCKCAT (SCAT), a meme token issued by the Flap platform within the Robinhood Chain ecosystem. STOCKCAT is described as a community-driven meme project launched on Robinhood Chain, combining meme stock culture with an on-chain asset narrative. The report did not provide transaction size or pricing details. BlockBeats also warned that meme tokens can be highly volatile, with price action driven largely by market sentiment, community attention and narrative momentum rather than stable fundamentals. As a result, investors are advised to pay close attention to risk when trading or holding such assets.
