Analysis: OpenAI's delayed IPO triggers sell-off, causing a collective decline in US tech stocks.
PANews , June 27th - According to CNBC, US stock futures fell across the board on Friday, with the technology sector leading the decline, and chip and memory stocks generally weakening. Two core market concerns continue to escalate: firstly, the rising cost pressures of AI infrastructure; and secondly, expectations of a slowdown in the overall financing pace of the AI sector. According to media reports, OpenAI is considering postponing its IPO to next year, citing increased volatility in AI concept stocks, weakening market sentiment, and the weak performance of SpaceX's stock after its IPO, which has prompted investment banks and companies to reassess the current listing window.

Analysis: Rumors of a delayed OpenAI IPO impacted market sentiment, causing US stock futures to fall, with technology and chip stocks leading the decline.
Odaily Odaily reports that U.S. stock futures fell across the board on Friday, led by the technology sector, as market concerns intensified regarding rising costs of AI infrastructure and a slowdown in funding. Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1.2%, S&P 500 futures fell 0.5%, and Dow Jones futures fell 67 points (-0.1%). Chip stocks generally weakened after reports that OpenAI was considering postponing its IPO to next year, citing increased volatility in AI-related stocks, unstable market sentiment, and even the weak performance of SpaceX after its IPO. JPMorgan's trading team noted that the news reinforced market concerns about the sustainability of AI infrastructure investment and could impact the pace of future capital market financing. Vital Knowledge analyst Adam Crisafulli also stated that the IPO delay may slow the overall expansion of AI infrastructure spending. In the chip sector, Philadelphia Semiconductor-related stocks came under pressure, with ON Semiconductor falling over 13% due to its acquisition of Synaptics. Micron Technology and SanDisk both fell by more than 5%. XLK, which tracks the technology sector, fell 1.6%, continuing its decline from the previous trading day. (CNBC)
Analysis: With the anticipated IPO of OpenAI gaining momentum, Worldcoin is poised to become a benchmark.
PANews reported on June 17th that, according to BIT analysis, Sam Altman's role as co-founder of both OpenAI and Worldcoin has led some funds in the secondary market to view WLD as a highly liquid alternative for betting on OpenAI's future IPO. SpaceX's strong stock performance after its IPO, as a bellwether for tech IPOs, has further boosted market expectations for the listing of AI star companies like OpenAI, causing related narratives to rapidly gain traction. Some traders see WLD as a tradable asset that reflects this sentiment in advance. In the short term, Eightco Holdings previously disclosed holding approximately 283 million WLD, representing 8.4% of the circulating supply, making it one of the few publicly disclosed listed companies with such a large holding.
