Summary
Binance Wallet, Bybit and Bitget canceled SpaceX pre-IPO offerings after failing to secure shares through xStocks. The issue wasn't tokenization itself but getting access to the underlying asset, industry participants said. SpaceX's IPO saw overwhelming retail demand that far exceeded available shares, leaving many retail orders only partially filled or unfilled.
