Data from Vanda Research indicates that since July, retail investors have made a net cumulative purchase of around $315 million worth of SpaceX stock—more than any other individual stock over the same period. Figures show that when adjusted for the same number of post-listing trading days, SpaceX’s current performance lags roughly 80% of large-cap Nasdaq IPOs, whereas just weeks ago it was outperforming around 80% of its peer IPOs, reflecting a rapid reversal in market sentiment and momentum trading. Additionally, SpaceX’s first batch of restricted shares is set to begin unlocking on August 6, 2026, with monthly tranches released until the full unlock is completed in December.

Dan Bin, chairman of Oriental Harbour, wrote on Chinese investment platform Xueqiu today that the 2x leveraged long SK Hynix ETF plunged 25.72% on the day, reiterating that while leverage tools amplify returns, they also multiply risks exponentially. Investors should use leverage cautiously, avoid borrowing money or margin financing, and maintain proper portfolio diversification. Dan Bin noted that Hynix has become a phased symbol of the current AI rally. After a sharp correction, the company’s stock direction may soon clarify in the short term; in the long run, only enterprises with continuously improving supply-demand dynamics and steadily rising profitability can weather industry cycles. Shortly after, Dan Bin reposted a netizen’s comment: “A panic sell-off is a great opportunity to pick up bargains,” and said: “Strongly agree—when there’s a sharp drop, you must dare to buy! I just used up all my remaining ammunition.” He also stressed that the above content only represents his personal investment views and does not constitute any investment advice.

Local time Wednesday, after South Korean stocks triggered circuit breakers for two consecutive days, South Korean Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol apologized in response to a lawmaker’s demand, admitting the launch of single-stock leveraged ETFs was done without due consideration. Earlier, after the KOSPI index fell more than 6% in morning trading, Koo told parliament that the government was internally studying market stabilization measures and could further adjust rules for single-stock leveraged ETFs to address market volatility. The KOSPI had a volatile session Wednesday, plunging as much as 12% intraday before paring losses to around 6%. Heavyweight SK Hynix, following its earnings release, saw its shares slump 17% – a new single-day decline record – and has since trimmed losses to roughly 8%. (Jin10)
