End of IPO quiet period is approaching, SpaceX research report wave will affect market pricing
Odaily Planet Daily News: Since SpaceX's record IPO last month, investors have largely been in a "blindfolded" state, lacking sufficient financial forecasting data to assess the reasonable value of the company’s stock. This situation will change next week. At that time, the quiet period for bank analysts participating in SpaceX's $86 billion IPO underwriting will end.
This IPO is led by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase, with 18 other banks participating. Starting next Tuesday, investors will receive a wealth of new research reports, target price forecasts, and growth expectations, which will help illuminate SpaceX’s stock price trends in the short term and in the coming years.
B. Riley Wealth Chief Market Strategist Art Hogan stated: “Everyone is talking about what this company might look like in 2030, rather than what it can do in the next 12 months... This is an investment looking at a better future, but it still needs to focus on the next four years.” (Jin Ten)
Odaily Planet Daily News: Tech blogger Leo revealed that OpenAI may open GPT-5.6 to the public between July 7 and 9, with the earliest time possibly being July 7.

Additionally, according to insiders, Google DeepMind is tentatively scheduled to release Gemini 3.5 Pro on July 17. Another tech blogger, Astro Polo, stated that Gemini 3.5 Pro will support a context window of 2 million tokens, which is double the current support of 1 million tokens for Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Claude Fable 5, making it more suitable for handling large code bases, long documents, and extended conversations.
Note: The above information is all market rumors and has not been officially confirmed by OpenAI or Google DeepMind.

Bitcoin L2 network Botanix announces network closure, users must withdraw all assets by July 9
Odaily Planet Daily News: The Bitcoin L2 network Botanix has decided to shut down. Botanix calls on community users to withdraw Bitcoin and other assets by July 9, 2026. After July 9, the alliance will clear the remaining Bitcoin, and any other assets or tokens on the network will be unrecoverable.
Botanix revealed that it had originally planned to launch a token in the end, but the overall performance of the token issuance in the past year failed to meet the expected model's results. Additionally, structural and economic factors, such as the demand for Bitcoin in DeFi, the transfer of on-chain economies to places with user relationships, and network fee revenues unable to cover infrastructure costs, led to the cessation of this experiment.

Odaily Planet Daily News: The U.S. government is in high-level negotiations with AI companies, planning to announce voluntary standards for new model releases as early as next week.
The standards will set benchmarks for models with cutting-edge network capabilities and establish release timelines to simplify future model releases. This move aims to implement the U.S. President's executive order plan on AI from last month, and U.S. officials will clarify access to advanced AI models both domestically and internationally, laying the groundwork for a global framework including U.S. allies.
Previously, the U.S. government intervened in the release of new tools by Anthropic and OpenAI; the latest model from Anthropic had been subject to export restrictions due to concerns over cybersecurity risks, which were lifted on Tuesday. Currently, technical teams from the AI labs are meeting regularly with government officials to reach a consensus. (FT)
