The UAE and Iran Hold Face-to-Face Meeting to Ease Tensions
June 11, per a Bloomberg report, senior national security officials from the United Arab Emirates and Iran held their first face-to-face meeting since the U.S. carried out strikes on Tehran. Sources noted this week’s talks mark a notable shift in both sides’ stances, as they increasingly prioritize building a more stable bilateral relationship. The UAE leadership aims to advance its ambitious economic projects—including billions in planned investments to boost oil production capacity and build an artificial intelligence data center—on schedule. For Iran, ties with the UAE are equally critical: pre-war, the UAE was Iran’s largest Gulf trading partner and a key conduit for its sanctioned oil exports.

NEAR Protocol Launches Incentivized Airdrop Program, Snapshot to Occur at $70 Million TVL for Confidential Intents
On June 11, NEAR Protocol officially launched its Near@3.33 Incentive Milestone Plan, targeting users who use the protocol’s cross-chain private transaction execution tool, Confidential Intents, via their website. To date, no tokens have been added to users’ accounts under this initiative. Once Confidential Intents’ total value locked (TVL) hits $70 million, the system will take a snapshot and distribute milestone tokens to eligible accounts. Past user activity counts toward their allocation quota and will stay updated until the snapshot condition is fulfilled—meaning new users who join now and ramp up their activity can still secure a larger allocation share.
Drop 1 of the plan will roll out 333,333 milestone tokens. These tokens are locked rewards and are initially non-transferable and non-sellable. Once NEAR’s volume-weighted average price (VWAP) holds steady at $3.33 or higher for three consecutive days, the milestone tokens will convert to NEAR at a 1:1 ratio.

SpaceX IPO Valuation Sparks Debate: Lower than Space Industry Norm but Higher than AI and Cloud Computing Companies
SpaceX is set to go public on June 11, with a marked valuation gap versus its peers in the space and AI sectors.
While SpaceX looks undervalued relative to other space industry players, its valuation comes in higher when compared to AI and cloud computing companies.
At a projected valuation of nearly $1.75 trillion, SpaceX’s price-to-sales ratio is roughly 52 times—far above the average for large tech firms, but below some of its space sector counterparts.
Valuation approaches vary drastically across SpaceX’s Starlink, core space operations, and AI units, and investors remain divided over how to categorize the firm for valuation purposes: as an infrastructure company, a telecom operator, or an AI-driven technology business.
