Latin American digital wallet platform Belo completes $14.00 million Series A financing, led by Tether
Tether led a $14 million Series A funding round for Belo, a Latin American digital wallet platform. Other participants in this round included Titan Fund, The Venture City, Mindset Ventures, and G2.
Belo stated that it will use the new capital to expand into Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay, while further strengthening its operations in Brazil—focusing on freelancers, remote workers, and users managing cross-border fund flows.
Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Belo currently serves over 3 million users across Latin America. Its product is a digital wallet built on crypto infrastructure, enabling users to hold, send, and receive local currencies and “digital dollars” (stablecoins).
Stablecoins have seen rapid adoption in emerging markets like Latin America, primarily for inflation hedging, cross-border remittances, and bypassing high-cost foreign exchange systems. Belo reduces the cost and latency of cross-border transfers by integrating payments, foreign exchange, and cross-border transfers into a single app workflow—and leveraging crypto infrastructure for back-end settlement.

Caixin: SpaceX’s free-float market capitalization on its IPO debut may be between $440.00 billion and $530.00 billion
Caixin published an article titled “SpaceX’s $1.75 Trillion IPO Imminent: Who Can Buy It? Is It Worth Buying?”, which notes: Wall Street has never encountered a publicly listed company with such a massive IPO size and simultaneously such complex ties to the U.S. government.
Nasdaq previously approved a new “Fast Entry” rule, under which newly listed companies qualifying for the top 40 positions by market capitalization in the Nasdaq-100 Index will be rapidly added to the Nasdaq-100 Index within 15 trading days of their listing. This rule takes effect on May 1, 2026, and is widely viewed as specifically designed for SpaceX’s upcoming IPO—as well as paving the way for potential listings of OpenAI and Anthropic in late 2026 or 2027.
Assuming SpaceX lists at a $1.75 trillion valuation with a free-float ratio of 25% to 30%, its Day-1 free-float market capitalization would land between $440 billion and $530 billion. Based on Nasdaq-100 weighting methodology, SpaceX would immediately rank among the top ten largest-weighted constituents.
Market sources report that S&P Dow Jones Indices is also evaluating some form of “fast inclusion” mechanism for the S&P 500; however, details remain undisclosed.

Robinhood’s U.S. stock pre-market trading fell over 10%, while Bernstein maintains its $130 target price.
Despite Robinhood’s weaker-than-expected first-quarter results, Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani’s team maintained its outperform rating on HOOD and a $130.00 price target. Analysts pointed out that the weak performance in the first quarter has been reflected in the stock price in advance.
They focused on the fact that several core indicators of Robinhood remained strong: margin loan balances reached a record $17.00B (up 93% year-on-year), event contract trading was active in April, the prediction market size is moving towards $3.00B, and Robinhood Gold subscriptions increased by 36% year-on-year to 4.34M.
However, the current market shows that Robinhood (HOOD) is down more than 10% in pre-market trading in US stocks.

Today’s Market Pulse
Institutional adoption accelerates as crypto platforms expand traditional finance integration, while whale activity signals diverging market sentiment across altcoins.
Key Themes
Institutional Expansion & Traditional Finance Integration
MoonPay’s $100M acquisition of Sodot establishes MoonPay Institutional, targeting traditional financial institutions with crypto services, while SpaceX’s impending $1.75T IPO may trigger Nasdaq-100 inclusion under new “Fast Entry” rules. Belo’s $14M Series A led by Tether underscores stablecoin adoption in emerging markets, particularly for cross-border payments and inflation hedging. This convergence between crypto and traditional finance structures is creating new liquidity channels but also highlighting regulatory compliance challenges.
Platform Evolution & Market Infrastructure
Major exchanges are expanding product offerings with OKX launching AIUSDT perpetual contracts and Coinbase listing perpetual contracts for U.S. stocks like AMD and ARM. Meanwhile, Binance incentivizes trading through a Sentio competition distributing ST tokens. This infrastructure development suggests maturing market mechanisms but also raises questions about exchange competition and market fragmentation.
Whale Activity & Market Sentiment
Contrasting whale behaviors highlight divergent market views: a PEPE early whale accumulates BULL tokens while a DOGE whale with $13.74M in unrealized losses doubles down on 10x leveraged long positions. Elsewhere, 73 wallets control $69.6M of SKYAI with 476% returns, suggesting significant concentration risks. These whale behaviors often precede market shifts, particularly in leveraged positions.
Security & Protocol Risks
Aftermath Finance suspended operations following a suspected attack, reminding investors of persistent security challenges in DeFi. Meanwhile, Yao Cai Securities explicitly distanced itself from tokenized assets despite Ant Fortune acquisition, highlighting regulatory boundaries. These incidents underscore the operational risks in evolving crypto ecosystems.
RichSilo Verdict
Smart money should monitor institutional flows into crypto infrastructure plays like MoonPay and Belo while watching SpaceX’s IPO impact on market sentiment. The concentration of SKYAI tokens in 73 wallets presents both opportunity and risk, while the DOGE whale’s leveraged position could trigger significant volatility. Key catalysts include SpaceX’s May 1st Nasdaq-100 inclusion eligibility and implementation of U.S. stablecoin regulations, though regulatory clarity remains the wildcard for broader institutional adoption.
