The SpaceX IPO finally arrives on June 12, and if the hype surrounding the listing is any indication, Wall Street and crypto traders are about to collide in a way rarely seen before.
SpaceX is set to begin trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX, targeting a valuation of roughly $1.75 trillion. The official IPO price is expected to be finalized at $135 per share, making it the largest public offering ever attempted by a private company.
Yet the market isn’t waiting for the opening bell.
Before the official listing, crypto exchanges have already created alternative ways for traders to gain exposure to SpaceX.
Platforms including Coinbase International Exchange, Hyperliquid, Binance, OKX, and MEXC are offering pre-IPO perpetual futures and synthetic contracts tied to SPCX. These products allow traders to speculate on price movements before Nasdaq trading begins.
Even so, demand has been intense and price jumped over $200 on May 21. As seen, the SpaceX contracts have settled on top crypto exchanges recently and traded almost near $165, but it is still significantly above the expected IPO price of $135, suggesting traders are willing to pay a substantial premium for immediate exposure.
Meanwhile, Binance Web3 Wallet has been running a subscription campaign tied to tokenized SpaceX securities, allowing eligible users to lock USDC for potential allocations.
The excitement isn’t solely driven by speculation. According to BryceTech data, SpaceX dominated the global launch industry throughout 2025. The company reportedly conducted the majority of orbital launches during the year and was responsible for launching approximately 85% of all spacecraft sent into orbit.
That level of operational dominance helps explain why investors worldwide are paying close attention to the public debut.
For many market participants, the IPO represents exposure not only to rocket launches but also to a rapidly expanding space infrastructure business with growing global reach.
One of the more fascinating dynamics surrounding the listing is the gap between traditional finance and crypto markets.
While major investment banks have anchored the IPO near $135 per SPCX share, decentralized grey markets are pricing contracts well above that level. The spread highlights a situation where retail enthusiasm appears considerably stronger than the official offering price suggests.
Whether that premium survives once public trading begins remains an open question.
What is clear is that SpaceX enters the public market with enormous attention, a trillion-dollar valuation, and active speculation across both traditional and crypto trading venues.
Coinpedia’s SpaceX Stock Price Prediction Model projects that after initial listing volatility settles, SPCX could trade in the $200-$240 range later in 2026.
Longer-term projections suggest potential expansion toward $260-$295 in 2027, $320-$360 in 2028, $390-$440 in 2029, and above $500 by 2030 if business growth continues and the company further expands its global operations.
