SpaceX IPO Ignites Record Retail Demand and Crypto Trading Frenzy

SpaceX made its highly anticipated Nasdaq debut on June 12, 2026, under the ticker SPCX. The company priced its IPO at $135 per share, raising a record $75 billion.

The listing pushed SpaceX's market valuation above $2 trillion on day one. Crypto markets responded just as strongly, with tokenized equity platforms recording notable trading volumes tied to the new stock.

Gate.io recorded over $100 million in SPCX trading volume on day one, far ahead of other tickers. Vanda Research noted SPCX retail purchases surpassed Nvidia by more than 3.5 times on debut day.
