OKX Pre-IPO Market Adds SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic
May 7 — OKX will list Pre-IPO trading pairs for SpaceX/USDT, OpenAI/USDT, and Anthropic/USDT on May 7, per official sources, with support for up to 5x leverage.
### Notes on U.S. language habits adjustment:
1. **Company name capitalization**: Used standard case (SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic) instead of all caps (more natural for U.S. business/finance communications).
2. **Conciseness**: Trimmed redundant phrasing ("according to official sources" → "per official sources" for brevity, common in U.S. quick updates).
3. **Structure**: Led with key action ("OKX will list") then details, aligning with U.S. news alert style (prioritizes action over opening with date first, but retained date clarity).
4. **Leverage expression**: "support for up to 5x leverage" is natural for U.S. crypto/trading contexts.

Raoul Pal: Cryptocurrency is the "universal basic equity" of the AI era, with Agents representing three-fifths of DeFi users in five years
On May 7th, Real Vision co-founder and CEO Raoul Pal spoke at the Consensus 2026 conference in Miami, sharing these key insights:
- Humanity is at an unprecedented historical turning point. We’re on the cusp of seeing AGI entities that outpace humans in intelligence, flexibility, and power—with AI capabilities doubling annually right now. By 2028, AI’s annual text output will exceed all human text production in history, and all of this will unfold within 5 years.
- When AI massively replaces human labor, the solution isn’t traditional Universal Basic Income (UBI)—it’s “Universal Basic Equity.” For the first time ever, ordinary people can directly own the underlying network by holding crypto infrastructure tokens, reaping benefits as the Agent economy expands. Institutional entry into the space hasn’t strayed from the crypto ethos; instead, it lets anyone worldwide buy BTC, ETH, SOL on the same footing as firms like BlackRock.
- In a rapid-fire Q&A, Pal said if he had to choose

New York Bank Expands Digital Asset Custody Business to the United Arab Emirates
May 7 — BNY Mellon, the world’s largest custodian overseeing $59 trillion in assets, is expanding its digital asset custody business to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) via local partners.
In a Thursday press release, the global financial giant announced collaborations with Finstreet and the ADI Foundation to build regulated digital asset infrastructure in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) — a financial free zone that’s become a Middle East hub for crypto firms and blockchain projects.
The initial phase will focus on custody for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), with plans to add stablecoins and tokenized assets later.

Current mainstream CEX and DEX funding rates indicate a market still skewed towards bearishness
On May 7th, Coinglass data shows Bitcoin surged in early trading to nearly $83,000 before pulling back. Current funding rates across major centralized (CEXs) and decentralized (DEXs) exchanges signal bearish market sentiment, as seen in the attached chart.
BlockBeats Note: A funding rate is a fee set by crypto exchanges to align perpetual contract prices with their underlying assets. It facilitates fund transfers between long and short traders—exchanges do not collect this fee. The mechanism adjusts traders’ holding costs or profits to maintain price parity between contracts and the underlying asset.
A 0.01% funding rate marks the baseline. Rates above 0.01% indicate a generally bullish market, while those below 0.005% point to bearish sentiment.
