Summary
SpaceX’s hotly anticipated public debut on June 12 raised $75 billion at $135 per share, valuing the company at more than $2 trillion and turning its founder, Elon Musk, into the world’s first trillionaire. Crypto traders, meanwhile, were abruptly cut out of the deal, left holding pre-IPO subscription tokens on platforms like Binance, Bybit and Bitget with no allocation to SpaceX at all. As SPCX shares soared, key tokenized equity pipelines broke down. In effect, it’s a stress test for the “tokenized IPO access” narrative; price discovery worked, but access to the underlying shares did not.
