Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine, a company in the Ethereum treasury, stated in an interview with CNBC, "The reason the stock market remains resilient is that even in the face of war, the economy is actually performing better than expected." He pointed out that defense spending is currently about $30 billion per month and could rise to $60 billion per month in the future, which has a significant stimulating effect on the economy; meanwhile, the rise in oil prices by $20 per month only adds about $12 billion in burden to households, "Overall, the war is actually helping corporate profits right now."Tom Lee cited historical precedents, saying, "Looking back at World War II, the stock market bottomed out in May 1942, just five months after the U.S. entered the war, and at that time, no American troops had even set foot on the European or Pacific battlefields." He believes, "The market is very good at pricing in outcomes ahead of time; the current rise in the stock market means that the market is pricing in a favorable outcome, although I can't clearly articulate the specific reasons, but that's the signal conveyed by the market's performance."Regarding the three major variables in the current market— the Iran war, corporate earnings reports, and interest rates—Tom Lee stated, "Among the three, only war can create tail events in both directions, so this is the variable that deserves the closest attention." In terms of sector allocation, he remains bullish on the energy sector and pointed out that energy security is one of the most important structural themes in recent years.

The specific timing has not yet been determined, and the planning is still underway, with the possibility that it may not proceed. Both Moon's Dark Side and Goldman Sachs declined to comment, and China International Capital Corporation did not respond.After completing over $700 million in financing earlier this year, Moon's Dark Side is negotiating a new round of financing, with a scale of up to $1 billion, which would bring its valuation to approximately $18 billion after this round of funding. Its C round valuation was about $4.3 billion at the end of last year, and the valuation has since risen rapidly. Founder Yang Zhilin stated in an internal letter at the end of last year that the company has 10 billion RMB in cash and is "not in a hurry to go public in the short term." There were also rumors of a "backdoor listing" last December, which the company denied.Competitors in the same sector, Zhiyu and MiniMax (Xiyu Technology), have already gone public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and taking advantage of the investor enthusiasm generated by peers going public, Moon's Dark Side has been accelerating its financing in the private equity market.

DeFiance Capital founder Arthur posted on the X platform, stating that the current stock market pricing is overly optimistic regarding the real situation. Once market sentiment shifts, the adjustments may be more severe. He believes that this environment may provide performance opportunities for Bitcoin and crypto assets, making them a hedge against sovereign and geopolitical risks in the context of geopolitical and macro uncertainty.Arthur stated that the trading strategy of "going long on crypto assets and shorting stocks or high-yield bonds" may be one of the more attractive long-short combinations in the current market. He then added that this trading trend may just be the beginning. Additionally, he pointed out that the supply of USDC has rebounded to a historical high after bottoming out about a month ago, which may partially explain the nearly doubling performance of CRCL since its stage low.
