This week brought one of our biggest RWA expansions yet, with seven new RWA Perpetuals trading pairs launching across three days. World Cup trading arrived in Prediction Spot on both web and app, complete with multilingual support and richer content. We retired the Prediction Contracts module across Omni-web and Omni-H5, removed the Beta label from RWA Perp, and opened up Mantle USDT deposits. Traditional Chinese documentation is now live on GitBook, the SPCX Trading Competition is running, and NBA Finals prediction rewards have been paid out. App versions 3.56.1 through 3.56.3 are rolling out, with 3.56.3 expected on the app stores this Sunday. Here is everything that shipped.

ApeX Weekly Update: Seven New RWA Perpetuals and World Cup Predictions Go Live

Some of the best megatrend trades are not always the obvious names. While most investors focus on headline giants, companies like Lumentum Holdings (LITE) and Rocket Lab USA (RKLB) are building the infrastructure powering the next wave of growth. Lumentum supplies the optical chips and photonic components keeping AI data centers running at scale, while Rocket Lab is expanding beyond launches into satellites and defense contracts as demand for low Earth orbit infrastructure accelerates.

This article breaks down what each company does, their latest 2026 financial performance, the bull and bear case for both stocks, and the key catalysts traders should watch. It also explores how traders can gain exposure to these narratives through LITE and RKLB perpetual contracts on ApeX Omni with up to 50x leverage.

Broadcom and Marvell are the two cleanest public proxies for the custom-silicon layer of the AI buildout. Broadcom is the diversified heavyweight, posting record Q2 fiscal 2026 revenue of $22.2 billion and AI semiconductor sales of $10.8 billion, backed by multi-gigawatt commitments from Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta. Marvell is the leaner, faster-growing challenger, hitting record Q1 fiscal 2027 revenue of $2.418 billion and raising its full-year outlook on exceptional AI bookings. Both names carry elevated volatility into earnings, and both tend to move together on any AI-capex headline. That makes them natural instruments for directional AI bets and for pair trades between the heavyweight and the challenger. Both now trade as perpetual contracts on ApeX Omni with up to 50x leverage, long or short, without owning the underlying stock.

The SPCX-USDT RWA contract is now live on ApeX. To mark the launch, we are opening a limited-time double reward event that lets you trade at a lower cost while competing for extra prizes. The event runs from June 10 at 10:00 to June 20 at 10:00 (UTC). Every registered user gets their SPCX contract fees cut in half for the full window, with no cap, and the reduced amount is returned afterward as an RWA trading bonus. On top of that, the top 20 users by volume share a 1,000 USDT prize pool, split according to how much they trade. The more you trade, the more you save and the more you can win. Register now and claim your seat.

Mantle Network has changed its USDT token standard. The original Mantle USDT has been renamed to USDT (Bridged), and Mantle now recognizes USDT0, which is minted by bridging from Ethereum Mainnet, as the only official USDT across its ecosystem. Major platforms, including Bybit, have already transitioned fully to USDT0. This creates a real risk for users: depositing USDT (Bridged) to a platform that only supports USDT0 may result in funds not being credited, and recovering those assets can cost roughly 200 USD in fees. To protect user assets and stay aligned with the evolving ecosystem, ApeX Omni is suspending deposits and withdrawals of USDT (Bridged) on the Mantle network. Existing holders are not stranded. You can still withdraw these assets through any network ApeX Omni supports, and if you want to hold official USDT0, you can withdraw to Ethereum and convert through the Mantle official bridge.

Three of the market's most-watched names run on the same engine: the AI infrastructure boom. SpaceX has filed for what could be the largest IPO in history, targeting a Nasdaq debut under ticker SPCX at a fixed price near 135 dollars per share and an implied valuation around 1.7 to 1.8 trillion dollars, with a widely cited June 12 listing that remains a target rather than a confirmed date. Samsung has swung back to offense, posting a Q1 2026 operating profit up 756 percent on AI demand and selling out its entire 2026 high-bandwidth memory capacity. SK Hynix has emerged as the purest large-cap AI memory play, leading the HBM market with roughly a 57 percent revenue share, supplying the bulk of Nvidia's HBM4, and out-earning Samsung on full-year profit for the first time ever. The practical hurdle for retail is access: SpaceX is still private, while Samsung and SK Hynix trade in South Korea behind foreign-exchange and custody friction.

This week marks a clear shift in how prediction trading works on ApeX. The Prediction Perpetuals feature has been officially discontinued across every platform: Omni-web, Omni-H5, and the mobile app. In its place, Prediction Spot is now live, giving traders a cleaner way to take positions on real-world outcomes. The third round of the Prediction Battle Royale has concluded, affiliate and referral links now handle letter case automatically, and the newest app versions (3.55.0 and 3.56.0) refine the Prediction Spot account flow. Here is everything that shipped this week.

ApeX Weekly Update: Prediction Spot Goes Live and More...

Some of the most valuable companies in the world are still private, which means you can't buy them through an ordinary brokerage. This watchlist covers seven of the most talked-about pre-IPO names of 2026, ranked from the largest valuation to the smallest: SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Anduril, Kalshi, and Polymarket. The standout story is Anthropic, which raised a $65 billion Series H at a $965 billion valuation in May 2026 to overtake OpenAI as the world's most valuable AI startup, while SpaceX became the one name actively crossing into public markets after filing its S-1 to list on Nasdaq as SPCX.

ApeX Omni now brings prediction markets directly into the platform you already use for Perpetuals, Spot, and RWA trading. This is a spot trading product, which means you take positions on real-world event outcomes without leverage and without liquidation risk. The integration sources order books and liquidity straight from Polymarket, so you get access to deep, established markets without ever touching Polymarket natively. Access is permissionless with no KYC, which matters because Polymarket is restricted in many regions. Phase 1 launches with football and World Cup events, with more categories arriving in future phases. For active perpetual traders, prediction markets open a new dimension of risk management through event-based hedging. Below we cover how it works, how to access it, fund transfers, order types, and the full fee structure.
