SpaceX has chosen Goldman Sachs to participate in its record-breaking initial public offering (IPO), according to a prospectus filed by the company on Wednesday. The transaction is expected to yield significant financial returns and could position Goldman Sachs as the lead underwriter for other high-profile IPOs, such as those of OpenAI and Anthropic. SpaceX's IPO is anticipated to be the largest in history, with the company's valuation reaching $1.25 trillion in its latest acquisition round. Goldman Sachs will hold the prominent 'lead left' position in the IPO prospectus, likely overseeing the final allocation, pricing, and valuation of shares, and receiving the largest share of underwriting fees. Matt Kennedy, a senior IPO strategist at Renaissance Capital, noted that executing a transaction of this magnitude could be complex but highly lucrative. Sources indicate that SpaceX's IPO is expected to be at least twice the size of Alibaba's $25 billion IPO in 2014, which paid $300.4 million in commissions to underwriting banks, about 1.2% of the total transaction size. Other major IPOs, such as Meta's in 2012 and Uber's in 2019, also had underwriting fees slightly above 1%. Based on similar rates, SpaceX's IPO could generate over $500 million in underwriting fees. For context, Goldman Sachs reported total equity underwriting revenue of $535 million last quarter.

Kate Fraher, the former chief risk officer of Silvergate, has decided to settle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2024 to circumvent a lengthy court battle. According to Cointelegraph, Fraher faced allegations of misleading investors regarding anti-money laundering protocols and the bank's oversight of cryptocurrency clients. In her initial public remarks on Wednesday concerning the settlement, Fraher asserted that no financial institution had demonstrated a failure in Silvergate's anti-money laundering measures. She chose to settle to "move forward," agreeing to a civil penalty of $250,000 and accepting a five-year prohibition from serving as a company executive or board director. Fraher highlighted the intense pressure exerted by the process, noting the personal impact, including being de-banked and having credit lines abruptly closed. These tactics, she claimed, were designed to disrupt daily life and enforce compliance. Her comments shed light on the circumstances surrounding Silvergate's voluntary closure following FTX's collapse. Fraher's ability to speak out came after the SEC lifted the longstanding "gag rule" on Monday. She clarified that the wind-down was not due to a "bank run" or market volatility from FTX's November 2022 collapse, despite the bank experiencing a deposit run of approximately 70%. Instead, Fraher attributed the decision to the "broader administrative and regulatory pressure" on the digital asset industry, which rendered operating a viable business unfeasible. The situation has been dubbed "Operation Chokepoint 2.0" by industry experts, referring to an alleged strategy by U.S. financial regulators to sever banking services for crypto companies, thereby hindering their operations within the financial system. Silvergate was not alone in facing these stringent measures, which intensified post-FTX's collapse. Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank also closed in early 2023, partly due to deposit runs, liquidity stress, and contagion effects linked to FTX and several bankrupt crypto lending platforms in 2022. However, Fraher noted that by early 2023, Silvergate had weathered the FTX collapse by restructuring with "appropriate capital levels" and a "right-sized workforce" to ensure safe operations. Fraher commended the SEC's current leadership under Paul Atkins for abolishing the gag rule, which she deemed an "unconstitutional policy." "I am glad the right to speak the truth has finally been restored," Fraher stated, emphasizing the need to discuss the long-term professional and personal toll imposed on individuals by regulation through enforcement.

Eurozone economic activity in May contracted at the fastest pace in two and a half years, as the war-induced surge in living costs hit service sector demand and pushed overall input price inflation to a three-and-a-half-year high. According to Jin10, the latest data shows that the Eurozone's composite PMI preliminary reading for May fell from 48.8 to 47.5, marking the lowest level since October 2023 and falling short of market expectations of 48.8. This indicates that private sector activity in the Eurozone has contracted for the second consecutive month. The preliminary PMI for the Eurozone's service sector dropped from 47.6 to 46.4. Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, stated, "The preliminary PMI survey data for May shows that the Middle East war is increasingly damaging the Eurozone economy. The survey data suggests that the Eurozone economy is likely to contract by 0.2% in the second quarter." Williamson added, "The service sector has been particularly hard hit due to the surge in living costs caused by the war, especially the rise in energy prices, which has weakened demand."
