On August 20th, according to CNBC, OpenAI CFO Sarah Flair stated at an all-hands meeting that OpenAI "will become a publicly traded company in 2027," but could go public earlier if the business continues to accelerate its growth. Flair stated that an IPO is not the end goal, but rather a milestone and a way to raise further funds. She noted that the company completed a $122 billion funding round in March of this year, providing greater flexibility for future development.August 20th - According to sources, SpaceX had approached Cognition AI, an artificial intelligence programming startup, to explore a potential acquisition. If the deal goes through, it would be SpaceXs second major acquisition in recent months in an effort to gain a leading edge in the AI race. Sources indicate that acquisition negotiations have been suspended, but the two companies are still discussing collaborations, including the possibility of Cognition using SpaceXs computing power. Cognition was valued at $26 billion in a funding round in May and has already begun preliminary talks with investors regarding a new round of funding, valuing the company at least at $40 billion.According to CNBC, OpenAIs CFO stated that the company will go public in 2027 or earlier.On August 20th, two U.S. officials told Axios that the U.S. military has quietly established a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, transporting millions of barrels of oil daily. Despite the broader war remaining deadlocked, this operation has yielded significant results. The operation has been ongoing for several weeks, and currently 15 to 20 oil tankers are passing through the southern shipping lane off the coast of Oman into the Strait of Hormuz. Officials stated that approximately 10 million barrels of oil are being transported through the strait daily into the global energy market, but this figure is about half of pre-war shipments. This U.S.-led operation is mitigating one of the most severe impacts of the war: disrupted oil supplies, which has driven up crude oil prices significantly. Officials indicated that although current oil shipments through the strait are still below pre-war levels, this has already had a noticeable impact on global oil supplies.US President Trump: I really hope interest rates can go down.

Crypto Prices Slump Over the Weekend

The Bitcoin market dropped over the weekend, matching the stock market's decline.


According to CoinDesk pricing, the world's biggest cryptocurrency, bitcoin, plummeted to $34,656 on Sunday afternoon, down 3.9 percent from Friday evening. Bitcoin fell below $34,000 earlier this afternoon, about half of its all-time high of $67,802 set in November.


Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, was trading at about $2,565 on Sunday afternoon, down 5.1 percent from Friday at 5 p.m. EDT.


Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are notorious for their wild price volatility. 


For years, individual investors dominated the market, but institutional investors, such as hedge funds and money managers, have begun to take control.


The market has become more aligned with regular markets as more professional investors trade crypto. Many institutional investors that acquire cryptocurrencies see them as high-risk investments, akin to equities in the technology sector. During periods of market turmoil, investors prefer to flee to safer areas.


Last week, the stock market fell the day after the Federal Reserve issued a half-point rate hike, the largest since 2000, to combat inflation. Additional rate hikes are possible this summer, according to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. 


Some of the central bank's $9 trillion asset portfolio is also being unwound.


The Nasdaq Composite, which is heavily weighted in technology, fell to a 52-week low of 12144.66 on Friday. It is down 22% so far this year.


For most of 2022, cryptocurrency prices remained flat as investors braced for higher interest rates. According to CoinMarketCap, the crypto market was busy over the weekend, with $112 billion in market volume in a 24-hour period. The total value of the cryptocurrency market is currently $1.59 trillion.
