Peter Thiel投資的加密幣交易所Bullish邁向IPO
近期多檔個股在美掛牌後表現亮眼，讓一度備受冷落的IPO市場重拾動能。近日，知名創投資本家Peter Thiel支持的加密貨幣交易所Bullish也送件申請上市，有望延續加密貨幣產業IPO熱潮。
CNBC等外媒報導，Bullish 18日正式向美國證券交易委員會（SEC）遞件申請IPO，若送件審查順利，將以代號「BLSH.US」登上紐約證券交易所。根據Bullish的IPO申請文件，因遇上加密貨幣市況波動，2025年第一季（截至2025年3月31日）淨損3.486億美元，而去年同期為淨利1.048億美元。

截至2025年3月底，Bullish自成立以來累計經手的交易量突破1.25兆美元。
Bullish是成立於2020年的加密貨幣交易所，創始大股東除了Thiel的創投基金Founders Fund和Thiel Capital，還有野村證券（Nomura）、知名幣圈大佬Mike Novogratz等。
Bullish於2023年收購加密貨幣新聞網站CoinDesk，擴大事業版圖。
在高利率環境下，過去三年美股IPO市場吹冷風，不過今年回溫訊號浮現，其中最熱門IPO案莫過於穩定幣巨頭Circle（CRCL.US），掛牌首日股價爆噴168%，帶動美股IPO市場展開新一波熱潮。

7月18日，美國總統川普正式簽署《GENIUS法案》（GENIUS Act），明定聯邦層級監管架構，全面納管穩定幣。新法施行後，穩定幣發行商須遵守嚴格規範，包括須持有足夠的儲備資產（如美元現金、美國公債等），每發行一枚穩定幣，即有等值法幣資產存入託管銀行作擔保，透過監管讓風險降至最低。

Firefly Aerospace set to debut after largest US space IPO of the year
By Ateev Bhandari and Arasu Kannagi Basil (Reuters) -Firefly Aerospace will begin trading on the Nasdaq on Thursday after raising $868.3 million in the largest U.S. listing this year by a space tech company. Firefly — which became the second private enterprise to achieve a lunar landing five months ago — priced the IPO at $45 per share, above an already upsized range, securing a valuation of $6.32 billion. That is ahead of both Trive Capital-backed Karman Holdings and Voyager Technologies, which went public earlier this year. U.S. initial public offerings have picked up pace after tariff-driven volatility hampered listings in April, reigniting a long-awaited recovery of first-time share sales. "I think we will continue to see strong debuts for large-cap IPOs for the remainder of the year," said Ross Carmel, partner at law firm Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel. "In the event the Federal Reserve decides to cut interest rates, I think we can see this trickle down to both mid-cap and small-cap IPOs as well." Formed in 2017, Firefly specializes in cost-effective launch vehicles and spacecraft, including lunar landers, to provide space launch and mission services. While Houston-based Intuitive Machines was the first private firm to reach the moon last year, its Odysseus lander made a lopsided touchdown. Firefly's Blue Ghost landed safely on the moon in March. "Firefly has already demonstrated responsive launch capabilities and delivered a lunar payload-proof points that matter to the Space Force and NASA," said Ali Javaheri, emerging technology analyst at PitchBook. The company had a backlog of roughly $1.1 billion and more than 30 planned launches under contract as of March 31. "Investors will likely focus on backlog growth, gross margin trends as production scales, and Firefly's cash runway post-IPO," Javaheri said. The company, however, expects to incur net losses for the next several years, according to filings. SPACE SCRUTINY Rising geopolitical tensions and deteriorating international relations have put a spotlight on space and defense contractors, as U.S. President Donald Trump aims to bolster military and civil space programs with the efficiencies of for-profit companies. Elon Musk's SpaceX — which has about $22 billion in government contracts — has grown critical to the global satellite network, potentially managing a crucial element of the "Golden Dome" missile shield planned by Trump. Musk's latest tensions with Trump, however, have prompted officials to solicit bids from other rocket and tech manufacturers, with some citing national security concerns around concentrated dependency. In early 2022, pressure from certain U.S. government bodies led to Ukrainian entrepreneur Max Polyakov divesting his ownership in Firefly to AE Industrial Partners, which currently owns more than 40% of the Texas-based company. Since then, Firefly has attracted a robust mix of investors. "Northrop Grumman's involvement signals alignment with national security priorities, while Mitsui's presence opens pathways to Asia and helps shore up supply-chain resilience," PitchBook's Javaheri said. U.S. defense contractor Northrop Grumman, which invested $50 million into Firefly in May, is one of the three suppliers of solid rocket motors to the U.S. Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Jefferies and Wells Fargo Securities are the lead underwriters for the IPO.

Scoop: Dialog, a secretive forum, plans D.C.-area campus
Dialog — a secretive, invite-only network founded two decades ago by Peter Thiel and Auren Hoffman, the star investors and entrepreneurs — is preparing a major expansion, including a real estate purchase to build a campus in the D.C. suburbs, a source familiar with the group's plans tells Axios. Why it matters: Dialog, often compared to a tech-era Bilderberg, has quietly become one of the most elite, and mysterious, gatherings for CEOs, elected officials, and intellectual heavyweights. Dialog leaders are in active discussions to buy a physical venue in Virginia, just outside Washington, to serve as a permanent hub for its off-the-record meetings, the source says. The decision to buy land, then build, within commuting distance of the capital shows the group isn't just kissing President Trump's ring, but plans to be engaged in Washington long after this term. A source invited to participate in Dialog said that amid "rising demand for quieter reflection in an always-on world, Dialog bills itself as offering global elites the chance to talk candidly across ideological lines, away from their phones and the pressures of social media, the news media, and their stakeholders." "Given declining trust in institutions and anti-establishment fervor," this source added, "the group actively keeps its inner workings secretive and hidden from public scrutiny," the source said — adding that the group's "secretive nature allows participants to share controversial and concerning ideas that they would not be comfortable sharing elsewhere." Zoom in: The next flagship Dialog gathering will be in the spring. Smaller retreats are planned sooner, including one in the Middle East this fall. The group is also in talks to acquire at least one smaller, like-minded membership organization "to scale its reach into additional elite circles," the source said. The backstory: Past Dialog participants, who cut across a wide swath of elite influencers, include Elon Musk, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Larry Summers, Chamath Palihapitiya, Henry Kravis, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D), Eric Schmidt, Grover Norquist, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Robert Hur and Sophia Bush. Also, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Jared Kushner, Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. Reema Al-Saud, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, European Commission Vice Chair Kaja Kalla s, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, chess champ and activist Garry Kasparov, pastor and author Rick Warren and CFR president emeritus Richard Haass. The intrigue: Dialog has no public-facing website and avoids media coverage — it has never publicly shared a list of participants The off-the-record events, typically limited to 100 guests, have been held at the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain in Arizona and the San Clemente Palace Venice, among other exclusive and secluded sites. Past participants tell Axios the retreats feature small, moderated conversations with assigned seats and absolute confidentiality, "to ensure participants can challenge themselves intellectually and spiritually," as our source put it. A given session could have the likes of Reid Hoffman, Ted Cruz, Jared Polis, Lori Gottlieb, and Eric Schmidt discussing AI's energy demands, the future of health care, and political realignments. Other topics have included caring for aging parents, love, mental health and the afterlife.

Confluent, Inc. (CFLT): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Confluent, Inc. on Compounding Your Wealth's Substack by Sergey. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on CFLT. Confluent, Inc.'s share was trading at $17.12 as of August 4th. CFLT's forward P/E was 47.85 according to Yahoo Finance. Confluent reported strong Q2 2025 results, with revenue rising 20.1% YoY to $282.3M, driven by robust subscription revenue of $270.8M (96% of total) and cloud growth of 28% YoY to $150.5M, now 53% of revenue. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 6.3%, up 580 bps YoY, while free cash flow margin improved to 3.9%. EPS of $0.09 beat estimates by 12.5%. Remaining performance obligations grew 31% YoY to $1.16B, and billings surged 54% YoY, supported by strong late-stage pipeline growth of over 40% QoQ. Customer metrics remained healthy at the high end, with $1M+ ARR customers up 24% YoY to 219, though mid-market growth was muted and net new ARR declined 37% YoY. Product momentum continued across data streaming and DSP offerings. Flink ARR nearly tripled in H1 to $10M, with three $1M+ customers, while WarpStream adoption delivered 30% higher Confluent spend and significant infrastructure savings. Competitive displacements against cloud service providers exceeded two dozen in Q2, supported by differentiated offerings like Break Clusters and WarpStream. AI-driven workloads are scaling across verticals, including use cases in real-time personalization, vector database integration, and regulatory automation. Partner-sourced revenue contributed over 20% of total sales, reflecting growing ecosystem leverage. Despite these positives, headwinds persist from cloud consumption optimization by large customers, which dampened sequential growth and drove NRR to 114% from 117% last quarter. A major AI-native customer's workload shift to self-managed infrastructure is expected to pressure Q4 cloud growth. Nevertheless, management raised FY25 guidance, projecting subscription revenue of $1.105–$1.110B (+20% YoY) and maintaining its long-term opportunity in the $100B+ data streaming market, supported by expanding DSP adoption and strategic partnerships. Previously, we covered a bullish thesis on GitLab Inc. by Compounding Your Wealth in March 2025, which highlighted strong enterprise expansion, AI-driven product adoption, and margin gains. The company's stock price has depreciated by approximately 6% since our coverage. This is because macro headwinds impacted growth visibility. The thesis still stands as GitLab remains positioned for AI-led DevSecOps expansion. Sergey shares a similar view but emphasizes Confluent's DSP growth and AI-driven workloads. Confluent, Inc. is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 49 hedge fund portfolios held CFLT at the end of the first quarter which was 49 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of CFLT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
