SpaceX shares surge in premarket trading as crypto markets ride the IPO wave

SpaceX shares surge in premarket trading as crypto markets ride the IPO wave

The largest IPO in history is already spilling into crypto through tokenized equity and perpetual futures, with over $1.2 billion in volume on Hyperliquid alone.

SpaceX stock is climbing again in premarket trading, extending a rally that began with the company’s blockbuster Nasdaq debut last week. The shares, which closed around $160-$161 on their first day of trading after pricing at $135, rose roughly 20% on June 15, the first full session after the IPO. Premarket activity showed another 6%-plus gain as investors kept piling in.

The biggest IPO ever, by a wide margin

SpaceX raised $75 billion by selling 555 million shares at $135 each on June 12, making it the largest initial public offering in history. For context, Saudi Aramco’s 2019 IPO raised about $25.6 billion. SpaceX nearly tripled that.

The stock opened at $150 on its debut day and closed near $161, a gain of roughly 19-20% from the IPO price. That pushed SpaceX’s market capitalization past $2 trillion. It also made Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire on paper.

The company reported $18.7 billion in revenue for 2025, though it has not yet turned a profit. Retail investors accounted for about 20% of IPO allocations, a notable figure for a deal of this size.

Crypto markets light up on SpaceX mania

On Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual futures exchange, SpaceX contracts recorded over 7 million trades and $1.2 billion in volume on the debut day alone. Tokenized equity representations of SpaceX shares have been trading on platforms like PreStocks (under the ticker SPACEX) and xStocks (under SPCXx).
