Update on EXP Season 2 Airdrop Checker EXP Season 2 has been an incredible journey!
Participation and data metrics have far blown past Season 1, and our team is currently running final checks on the full dataset.
Because we’re still processing a massive amount of data, the opening of Airdrop Checker (initially set for 12:00 UTC today) will need just a bit more time.
We are grinding hard to push this out and expect the page will go live within the next 8 hours.
We’ll drop the official link here once it's ready. 🔔
Huge thanks for your patience and stay tuned! 🤝

SoSoValue Flash: Trump Brinkmanship De-escalates to Lift Sentiment, SpaceX Capital Unlock Triggers Hardware Rebound
💥 Core Catalyst:
The Middle East geopolitical theater experienced a sudden u-turn. Trump initially declared an imminent full-scale strike on Iran and the immediate seizure of Kharg Island, only to abruptly stand down as the framework text was finalized and approved by Iran's senior leadership. Trump expects a formal signing ceremony shortly in Europe, with VP Vance attending. However, Iran noted that "no final decision has been made" yet; while most of the text is settled, Tehran refuses to compromise on its core red lines, and the draft remains under structural review.
🔍 Key Logic Shifts:
1️⃣ Macro & Yields: Trump's abrupt policy pivot (another rapid TACO) triggered a rapid decompression in risk premiums. Brent crude broke below $90 and the 10Y Treasury yield slipped under 4.5%. However, underlying macro signals remain mixed: the May PPI print arrived slightly hot while core PPI undershot, driven by sticky energy services. Concurrently, weekly jobless claims continue to climb, leaving the Fed stuck in a complex stagflationary "weaker jobs + sticky inflation" bottleneck.
2️⃣ Liquidity & SpaceX: The historic SpaceX IPO is materializing with overwhelming demand. Reports indicate the deal is over 4x oversubscribed with a staggering $100B in retail orders alone, forcing the retail allocation to compress slightly above 20%. Crucially, the expiration of this massive subscription capital lock-up has released vast amounts of idle cash back into the financial system, instantly alleviating the secondary market's recent liquidity drain.
3️⃣ Sector Rotation: Seizing on the newly unlocked dry powder, the highly crowded AI hardware clusters (Memory, CPU, and Foundries) spearheaded a broad-based index rebound. With the broader technology sector in a near-term catalyst vacuum following the conclusion of ComputeX, AI is expected to continue its high-altitude consolidation, while attention swings to the Monday launch of over a dozen 2x leveraged long/inverse SpaceX ETFs from ProShares and Direxion. Additionally, the ECB delivered a well-anticipated 25bp rate hike on Thursday.
📊 Trade Setup (SoDEX Assets to Watch):
Core: $USTECH-100 | $CL (Crude) | $XAUT | $BTC
MAG7: $NVDA | $AMZN | $GOOGL | $META | $MSFT | $TSLA | $AAPL

SoSoValue Flash: Severe Geopolitical Reignited, CPI Holds Steady, Heavy Capex Warnings Trigger Tech Volatility
💥 Core Catalyst:
The Middle East situation has sharply re-escalated. Dissatisfied with slow talks, Trump threatened to target Iran's power plants and bridges if a deal isn't signed. Following the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter, the U.S. launched nearly 4 hours of retaliatory airstrikes, claiming Iran's control capability in the strait was eliminated (which Iran denies). In response, Iran issued stern warnings and the Strait of Hormuz has been fully closed. Iran fired dozens of ballistic missiles and drones at 21 key strategic Gulf targets, including a U.S. base in Jordan.
🔍 Key Logic Shifts:
1️⃣ Macro Risks: Trump's hawkish military threats have fundamentally disrupted the market’s prior baseline assumption that he would avoid reopening active hostilities. However, the macro front received some insulation as the May CPI print arrived broadly in line (with core slightly below expectations). Feared second-round effects from oil pass-through, World Cup distortions, and endogenous inflation failed to materialize.
2️⃣ Liquidity Drain: U.S. equities remain locked in a tug-of-war between macro anxiety and secular AI momentum. On the capital front, the ongoing SpaceX IPO continues to absorb significant institutional liquidity. The trading desk notes a broader decline in secondary market depth, which is amplifying short-term volatility across major indices.
3️⃣ Capex Concerns: AI momentum continues to consolidate at elevated levels during a post-ComputeX catalyst vacuum. While Oracle's post-close earnings and guidance matched consensus, its massive $40 billion equity and debt fundraising blueprint for the next fiscal year reignited fierce market anxieties over over-extended capex. Shares plunged 11% after-hours, acting as a direct drag on tech sentiment.

SoSoValue Flash: Iran Discloses Historic Nuclear Concessions, AI Capital Crowds into Hardware
💥 Core Catalyst: Truce Extensions & Tehran Shadows
President Trump publicly denied rumors that U.S.–Iran negotiations had stalled, confirming that dialogue has remained continuous. Following this, Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed a "historic concession" in congressional testimony: Iran has agreed for the first time to negotiate core nuclear terms, specifically the disposition of highly enriched uranium. On the ground, the IRGC Navy confirmed 24 vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours without interruption, signaling a practical de-escalation of the blockade risk.
🔍 Key Logic Shifts:
1️⃣ Macro & Labor: The U.S. April JOLTS job openings beat consensus estimates, reaffirming the deep structural stability of the domestic labor market. This macro resilience shifts the tactical focus to Wednesday's May ADP and Friday's May Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP). With the job market firm, the Fed is locked into a pause for June while keeping the door open to hikes; sticky energy costs remain the ultimate swing factor for a Q4 hike pivot.
2️⃣ AI Capital Reallocation: A rotation within tech is unfolding. As the SpaceX IPO and Anthropic capital pipeline accelerate, mega-cap Big Tech names are increasingly acting as a source of liquidity outflows, facing sustained selling pressure as capital searches for pure-play alpha.
3️⃣ AI Sentiment Shift: The "AI top" debate has temporarily quieted down. Following explosive Post-Dell and Marvell earnings rallies, institutional appetite for discovering new hardware supply chain enablers is near fever pitch. The market is actively adapting to higher volatility, opting to crowd deeper into hardware rather than executing a sector-wide reversal.
