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.

Prediction Markets Arrive on ApeX Omni: Integration with Polymarket

ApeX is delisting all Prediction Contract trading pairs on June 1, 2026, at 8:00 AM (UTC) as part of ongoing product upgrades. Traders holding open positions should close them manually before that deadline, because any positions left open will be automatically force-closed and settled by the system. Auto-settlement uses the average Mark Price from the final 30 minutes before delisting, with a settlement fee calculated as the average of the Taker and Maker fees. Access to Prediction Contracts pages winds down in two stages: limited access continues briefly after June 1, then all entry points across Web and App close permanently on June 2, 2026, at 8:00 AM (UTC). This blog walks through the full timeline, the settlement mechanics, and the exact steps for closing a position before the cutoff.

ApeX Prediction Perps: Delisting Schedule and What Traders Need to Know

This week brings two reasons to open the app. The Predict Battle Royale campaign is live and runs through early June, turning market calls into a head-to-head contest where reading the room pays off. Alongside it, ApeX adds three new RWA perpetual pairs, each trading around the clock, so exposure to these markets no longer waits for a bell to ring.

Both land in version 3.54.3. The campaign rewards conviction and timing. The new pairs widen what you can trade without leaving a non-custodial, KYC-free venue. Below is what each one is, when it runs, and how to get in.

ApeX Omni Weekly Update: Predict Battle Royale Goes Live, Plus Three New RWA Pairs

Predict Battle Royale runs three back-to-back tournaments over three weeks on ApeX Omni. Each week brings a fresh theme: Bitcoin price prediction, UEFA Champions League final winner, then the opening two games of the NBA Finals. Entry costs 9.9 USDT, or it unlocks free once a user clears 50,000 USDT in trading volume during the signup window. Each tournament caps at 100 participants and needs a minimum of 20 to go ahead. Winners who nail every round of a given tournament split that tournament's prize pool, with no individual cap on payouts. ApeX seeds each pool, and every paid entry fee gets added on top.

Predict Battle Royale: Three Weeks, Three Themes, Three Epic Battles

ApeX is launching RWA Trading Week, a two-week campaign running from May 15 to May 29, 2026 (UTC). The event opens the door to tokenized real-world assets covering everything from storage infrastructure to high-performance compute companies, letting traders position around the global technology stack through perpetual contracts. Two reward tracks run in parallel: a zero-risk experience for the first 200 new RWA users, with up to 20 USDT in compensation for first-trade liquidations, and a community challenge where a 1,000 USDT prize pool unlocks once total RWA trading volume crosses 10,000,000 USDT. Registration is required through the button below, and rewards are distributed within seven days of the event closing.

RWA Trading Week: Trade the Backbone of Global Tech

ApeX Omni has shipped several meaningful upgrades across Omni-web, Omni-H5, and the mobile app (v3.54.0). The New User Vault is now live, offering a direct entry point for users looking to put capital to work from day one. The trading pair list now surfaces leverage limits and trading hour windows at a glance, reducing friction for new and experienced traders alike. On the infrastructure side, the RWA Perp API is live with full SDK documentation, and two new trading pairs have been added: SNDK-USDT (RWA, 50x) and MEGA-USDT (Perp, 50x). These updates reflect ongoing work to improve both usability and market breadth across the platform.
