According to Forbes, the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid has launched the pre-IPO perpetual contract for SpaceX (SPCX-USDC) on Trade.xyz, sparking a global regulatory gray area controversy. This contract allows leveraged trading without holding any shares of SpaceX and has not been authorized by the company, with an initial reference price of $150, corresponding to an implied valuation of approximately $1.78 trillion, which quickly surged to $216.It is reported that this contract is settled in USDC, with prices derived from market oracles, and is not linked to SpaceX's actual financials or equity structure. SpaceX itself has neither authorized nor participated in this market, yet its valuation is being priced and traded in real-time on-chain, leading to the controversy of "private company price discovery being taken over by decentralized derivatives." This market originates from Hyperliquid's HIP-3 mechanism, which supports the notion that the valuations of private companies may be being repriced by on-chain derivatives, while the regulatory framework has yet to be established.

According to a report by The Information, the prediction market Polymarket is facing increased regulatory and compliance pressure, and the platform is pushing traders to undergo identity verification (KYC) to reduce potential legal and compliance risks.The report states that although Polymarket's platform rules do not allow such activities in certain regions, some users are still participating in market trading through automated trading bots and other means, creating gray usage paths in areas like Russia.

According to Jinshi reports, on the 27th, U.S. officials revealed to the media that the U.S. Department of Defense has drafted a list of targets for strikes within Iran, in preparation for President Trump possibly resuming military actions against Iran. However, analysts say that if the U.S. launches new strikes, the difficulty will be greater than before.According to NBC News, the Pentagon is considering naming the potential military operation "Hammer," with targets including some nuclear facilities that were already attacked by U.S. forces last June, including the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.The U.S. military may also target Iran's strategic oil facilities on Khark Island, as well as power plants, military command centers, and communication facilities. According to informed sources, many of the targets within Iran that have already been struck are considered "low-hanging fruit," because those targets "are either stationary or not deeply buried in bunkers." However, missile launchers, drones, and other targets have now become more concealed and difficult to approach, making it harder to locate and accurately strike them than before.
