🎮 EA Is Now a Private Company After the Largest LBO in History Closes at $55 Billion

Electronic Arts officially left the stock market on August 4 after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (93.4%), Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners closed their $55B buyout — ending EA's 37 years as a public company. Shareholders received $210 per share in cash, and the deal used $20B in debt financing, making it the biggest leveraged buyout in history. CEO Andrew Wilson stays on and EA stays in Redwood City. What does going private mean for game prices and release timelines?

⚖️ SEC Drops First-Ever Crypto Safe Harbor Rule — Token Projects Could Raise Up to $75M

The SEC has placed "Regulation Crypto" in its July 2026 rulemaking slot, marking the first major crypto-specific rule of the Atkins era. The proposal would create a time-limited registration exemption letting early-stage projects raise up to $75 million, with a safe harbor that allows tokens to exit securities status once a project fully decentralizes. California's new Digital Financial Assets Law also kicked in July 1, requiring crypto firms to get state licenses or face $100K/day fines. Not financial advice. Could this wave of regulatory clarity finally unlock the next bull leg?

🌕 NASA Awards $590M to Three Companies for Four Moon Base Cargo Missions in 2028

NASA just handed out nearly $590 million — to Astrobotic ($297.9M), Intuitive Machines ($148.3M), and Firefly Aerospace ($144.2M) — for four commercial cargo landings on the Moon in late 2028, all aimed at laying groundwork for a permanent lunar base. Every mission will carry the same trio of instruments: cameras studying landing dust plumes, laser reflectors for precision navigation, and radiation spectrometers to map the surface environment. Astrobotic alone secured funding for two separate deliveries. Which company do you think will shape the future of lunar infrastructure the most?
