Cerebras, OpenAI, SpaceX: The IPO pipeline that could drain crypto

Cerebras’s $5.5 billion IPO, priced at $185 and valuing the AI chipmaker near $40 billion, has intensified a rotation of risk capital into AI and semiconductor equities.

The article frames the AI IPO pipeline as a material headwind for digital-asset prices as capital reallocates to U.S. equities.
