SpaceX IPO Siphons Billions from Crypto Market

A recent IPO by SpaceX has set off alarms in the crypto community. The space exploration company officially launched its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on June 11, 2026, aiming to raise $75 billion at a price of $135 per share.

Of this total, around $22 billion worth of shares will be reserved for retail investors, essentially targeting the same demographic that has been buying Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in recent years.

GSR's Global Head of OTC Trading, Spencer Hallarn, bluntly stated in a Reuters interview: 'Crypto is a funding currency for a lot of this. We've got to find $75 billion for this IPO, and it's got to come from somewhere.'

Analysts warn that when a large IPO like SpaceX's comes on the market, it can draw significant capital away from other assets, including cryptocurrencies.
