You might be right, although these things do tend to feed off...

Sorry but your statement "The latest valuation is effectively set by the existing shareholders who are obviously incentivised to make it as high as possible." applies to literally every private company out there, yet I am only aware of 1-2 other companies globally raising money at these rates and valuation step-ups. Kind of weird to pretend like this is normal and not a sign of big investor bullishness.

You might be right, although these things do tend to feed off themselves and the prospect of a big IPO pay day can drive some interesting behaviour. I'd certainly rather be in APT at A$29b than Klarna at A$59b.
