The post SpaceX (SPCXB) Draws $300 Morgan Stanley Overweight in Coverage Debut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
SPCXB News SpaceX (SPCXB) drew its first heavyweight Wall Street endorsement as Morgan Stanley opened coverage with an Overweight rating and a $300 base-case price target, alongside a $600 bull case. Analyst Adam Jonas reframed the newly listed company not as a rocket launcher but as an artificial-intelligence infrastructure platform, arguing its Starlink satellite network and low-latency connectivity will underpin autonomous vehicles, robots and drones. The base target implies roughly 90% upside from recent trading near $160. Jonas projected revenue could reach about $319 billion by 2030 and $3.3 trillion by 2040, driven primarily by Starlink and AI rather than traditional launch services. A second catalyst arrives with SpaceX’s entry into the Nasdaq-100 Index. JPMorgan estimates the inclusion could trigger roughly $4.3 billion in automatic purchases by passive investmen
The post What SK Hynix’s Nasdaq debut and SpaceX’s Nasdaq 100 entry mean for investors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Nasdaq is likely to take center stage for two of the market’’s most closely watched companies this week, although for very different reasons. South Korean memory chip giant SK Hynix is preparing to launch one of the largest American Depositary Receipt (ADR) offerings ever seen in the United States, while recently listed SpaceX is set to join the Nasdaq 100 just weeks after completing the largest IPO in history. Although these events are different, both represent important milestones that could significantly influence investor demand. In each case, Nasdaq is making the companies more accessible to global investors, expanding institutional and retail ownership and potentially attracting billions of dollars of passive capital. Yet history suggests that improved accessibility does not always translate into immediate share price gains. Could SK Hynix’s Nasdaq ADR L
The post EDX Markets Lands $76M From SBI Holdings To Build A Regulated Crypto Custody And Settlement Engine appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

SBI’s leadership of the round signals that serious institutional money is betting the platform can
