“Given everything happening with safety, right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Fortune.
Mutsamudu, Comoros, August 27th, 2026, Chainwire
MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has launched IPO Express, a new event offering eligible users access to SHEIN’s IPO subscription, ahead of its scheduled listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 1, 2026. The first-in-market opportunity is designed to allow users to gain economic exposure to SHEIN’s post-listing performance using USDT and receive mirror credits, without directly holding SHEIN shares.
MEXC is committed to removing barriers to market participation, based on the belief that opportunity should not be limited by identity, capital size, or geography. IPO allocations have traditionally been concentrated among institutional investors, leaving retail users with limited access to primary market subscriptions and often requiring them to buy in at a premium on the secondary market after listing. IPO Express offers a new way to participate. Users can subscribe without opening a traditional securities account. Once subscribed, they are not required to trade or time their exit. MEXC settles mirror credits according to the event rules, using the offering’s closing price on its first trading day as the reference. The process involves three steps: selecting the offering, submitting a subscription, and awaiting settlement, with unallocated funds automatically refunded. IPO Express provides retail users with a convenient gateway to participate in selected IPO opportunities.
The subscription period for the SHEIN IPO Express event runs from August 27, 2026, 10:00 (UTC) to August 31, 2026, 10:00 (UTC). The event has a total subscription quota of $1,000,000, divided into three options, each with an individual subscription limit of 100–10,000 USDT:
- New User Subscription: $300,000 quota
- General Subscription: $500,000 quota
- Elite Subscription: $200,000 quota, for VVIP users with an M-Score of 800 or above
The subscription price ranges from HKD 47.60 to HKD 49.50 per share (approximately $6.07–$6.32), with the final price determined in accordance with the event rules. Eligible users can also increase their individual subscription limit by completing additional deposit tasks during the event period. To mirror the cost structure of an actual IPO subscription, participation in this event is subject to a subscription fee of approximately 1.0085% and a selling fee of 0.5%, charged at settlement.
The mirror credits provided through this event do not represent direct ownership of SHEIN shares. The final settlement amount depends on the applicable settlement rules and SHEIN’s market performance, and may be lower than the user’s subscription amount. Full terms, eligibility requirements, and risk disclosures are available on the IPO Express event page.

Retail investors can request RVII shares at an expected $25 apiece through Aug. 12, ahead of an NYSE listing set for Aug. 13 — five months after Robinhood’s first venture fund raised $658.4 million to buy into companies like OpenAI and Stripe.
Robinhood opened the order window on Monday for Robinhood Ventures Fund II, a closed-end fund that will give retail investors exposure to seed-stage startups from the Y Combinator ecosystem,at an expected $25 per share.
The fund extends Robinhood’s private-markets push from late-stage names like OpenAI into the riskiest end of venture capital — seed-stage companies, most of which fail — packaged as an exchange-listed product with no investment minimums or accreditation requirements. It is the second such vehicle Robinhood has brought to market this year, after Robinhood Ventures Fund I listed on the New York Stock Exchange in March.
The offering totals 8 million shares — 7.6 million sold by the fund and 400,000 by Robinhood Markets — for a raise of about $200 million at the expected price, with underwriters holding a 30-day option to buy 1.2 million more. Robinhood customers can request shares through the app until the order window closes on Aug. 12, and the fund expects to list on the NYSE under the ticker RVII on Aug. 13 with positions in 80 private companies at launch. Goldman Sachs is lead bookrunner, joined by Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, UBS and Wells Fargo.
“The next generation of promising startups is being built today,” said Sarah Pinto, head of Robinhood Ventures. “With Robinhood Ventures Fund II, retail investors no longer have to wait until a company’s IPO to be part of an early growth journey.”
The Y Combinator Bet
RVII will invest in companies that are current or former Y Combinator participants, or whose founders went through the accelerator’s programs. Y Combinator has funded more than 5,000 companies since 2005 with a combined value above $1.3 trillion, including more than 100 unicorns, according to the offering announcement. Robinhood’s disclosures note that Y Combinator does not sponsor or endorse the fund.
“As Robinhood Ventures scales, our mission is for it to become the norm that retail is represented in your seed or Series A cap table,” said Rich Aberman, the fund’s portfolio manager.
The structure is a business development company, a closed-end fund regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940,managed by Robinhood Ventures DE, an SEC-registered adviser owned by Robinhood Markets. Investors pay a 2% annual management fee plus a 20% incentive fee on realized gains, with total annual expenses estimated at 4.18%. Robinhood’s own materials call the investment “speculative,” warn of a “substantial risk of loss,” and note shareholders have no redemption rights — shares can only be sold on the open market, where they may trade below the value of the fund’s holdings.
Fund I’s $658 Million Start
Robinhood Ventures Fund I priced its IPO at $25 per share on March 6for a fund size of $658.4 million, targeting later-stage private companies. In April itbought about $75 million of OpenAI common stock, and its portfolio includes Stripe, Databricks, Revolut, Ramp, ElevenLabs, Airwallex, Boom, Mercor and Oura.
The venture funds run alongside Robinhood’s crypto-based route to the same demand. The company gave away tokenized OpenAI and SpaceX exposure to European users last year, drawing an objection from OpenAI, which said it had not approved any transfer of its equity. Robinhood has since launched its own blockchain with tokenized stocks, while the venture funds route private-market exposure through a registered wrapper instead.
For Elon Musk’s company, it’s a rounding error against a valuation of over $1.8 trillion: small enough that the stock will never trade on it, yet large enough to normalize the asset in a way no dedicated vehicle can.
For years, onchain analysts estimated SpaceX held about 8,300 bitcoin. The S-1 then revealed the real number was more than twice that, meaning one of the most scrutinized private companies in the world held a billion-dollar bitcoin position, and the public’s best guess was off by half until securities law forced the answer.
Now the position lives under public company rules.
Fair-value accounting means every quarterly report marks bitcoin to market, recording gains and losses whether or not SpaceX trades the coin. Tesla showed how that looks in a drawdown, booking hundreds of millions in paper losses on a position it wasn’t selling.
SpaceX arrives with bitcoin 37% already below its January high, though its roughly $35,000 cost basis means the stake is still up about 80% from its initial buys.
Neither Tesla nor SpaceX — both Elon Musk-owned firms — have ever shown an appetite for trading its stack. These companies continue to hold (at least for now) bitcoin through public earnings cycles and analyst questions, while the position swings, hands every Fortune 500 finance chief a working example of a mega-caps that treat bitcoin as a reserve asset, absorbs the earnings noise and moves on.
Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds drew $85.85 million in net inflows on June 12, the largest single-day in about 4 weeks. The reversal arrived on the same day SpaceX made its record Nasdaq debut.
The inflow broke a five-session withdrawal streak that pulled roughly $727 million from the funds.
BTC ETF Inflows Return After a Bruising Stretch
The June 12 total marks the strongest single-day demand since May 14, when the funds absorbed $131.31 million. Cumulative net inflows now stand at $53.62 billion, with total net assets near $79.65 billion.
The previous days ran the other way. Outflows struck on June 5, 8, 9, 10, and 11, draining capital before the trend flipped. The funds had shed money for 13 straight sessions from May 15 to June 3. That run stands as their longest outflow streak since launching in early 2024.
Geopolitics drove much of that pressure. Tensions across the Middle East pushed Bitcoin toward $59,000. Bitcoin is still down about 20% over the past month.
Sentiment then shifted on June 11. President Donald Trump said he had canceled planned US strikes on Iran, citing progress toward a deal.
Bitcoin rebounded above reclaimed $63,000. The diplomatic push gained further pace today. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that “finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours.”
Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens
The news has lifted the largest cryptocurrency higher. BeInCrypto Markets data showed that BTC was up 0.17623% over the past day. At press time, it traded at $63,868.
Bitcoin Holds Firm as SpaceX Storms Its Nasdaq Debut
The inflow coincided with another major market development. SpaceX shares began trading on the Nasdaq on June 12 under the ticker SPCX. The stock was priced at $135, opened at $150, and closed near $161.
The offering raised about $75 billion at a valuation of $1.7 trillion. That total ranks as the largest IPO on record.
A raise that size competes for investor capital. However, the flow data cuts the other way. Bitcoin ETFs pulled in capital, and BTC recovered, signs that crypto demand held up rather than rotated out.
Attention now turns to the Federal Reserve. Its June 16-17 meeting could decide whether the inflows hold or fade.

Mantle, the premier distribution layer connecting traditional finance and on-chain liquidity, today announced the listing of SPCXx, the tokenized SpaceX equity issued by xStocks, available for 24/7 on-chain trading and liquidity provision on Mantle from the day SpaceX completes the largest initial public offering in history.
The listing brings on-chain access to one of the most anticipated equity events in history through two of the ecosystem’s flagship venues, Fluxion and Merchant Moe, and opens what is expected to be a strong season of high-demand tokenized equity listings on Mantle.
Institutional-Grade Execution via Atomic RFQ
Fluxion supports native minting of SPCXx directly from the issuer, powered by xStocks’ Atomic Request for Quote (RFQ). The mechanism bypasses AMM slippage entirely, anchoring pricing to the underlying security through issuer-direct minting and redemption at live market quotes. Fluxion’s hybrid AMM and RFQ infrastructure delivers stable, issuer-direct execution with minimal liquidity requirements.
Project X: 100K $MNT incentives for Tokenized IPOs
Alongside the listing, Merchant Moe, the cornerstone liquidity hub of the Mantle ecosystem, has launched Project X, deploying up to 100,000 MNT in rewards for liquidity providers for this summer’s wave of tokenized IPOs, starting with the SPCXx/USDT0 pool. Users can bridge SPCXx assets via xBridge or other cross-chain routes, and provide liquidity to start earning incentives.
“Through Project X, Merchant Moe is proud to support the launch of SPCXx on Mantle,” said DavideFi, General Manager at Merchant Moe. “As the ecosystem’s cornerstone DEX, we are excited to back tokenized IPOs with deep liquidity and strong incentives.”
Project X extends beyond the SPCXx listing. Subsequent high-demand xStocks listings will be added to the campaign as they launch, with Merchant Moe serving as a primary liquidity venue for each new listing.
The Distribution Layer in Practice
The Mantle ecosystem gives users multiple avenues to acquire, trade, and provide liquidity for SPCXx directly on Mantle. The simultaneous on-chain availability of SPCXx alongside SpaceX’s traditional market debut marks a milestone for tokenized finance: the most anticipated listing of the decade reaching on-chain markets with no delay between the two.
The pairing reflects how Mantle approaches distribution for real-world assets. Fluxion provides institutional-grade execution through issuer-direct pricing, while Merchant Moe provides incentive-backed liquidity depth for retail participation. Together, they give a single tokenized asset both the execution quality institutions require and the accessibility a global user base expects.
With a pipeline of high-demand tokenized listings expected through the remainder of the year, the infrastructure assembled for SPCXx is designed to repeat: issuance through xStocks, execution through Fluxion, and incentivized liquidity through Merchant Moe, with each new listing arriving on Mantle the day it reaches traditional markets.
“SpaceX has been one of the most anticipated IPOs in history, and its simultaneous arrival on-chain signals how far the RWA market has come,” said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle. “Mantle’s ecosystem supports seamless execution and deep liquidity for users from day one, which marks a significant milestone for the distribution layer for real-world assets.”
About Mantle
Mantle positions itself as the premier distribution layer and gateway for institutions and TradFi to connect with on-chain liquidity and access real-world assets, powering how real-world finance flows. With over $4B+ in community-owned assets, Mantle combines credibility, liquidity, and scalability with institutional-grade infrastructure to support large-scale adoption. The ecosystem is anchored by $MNT within Bybit, and built out through core ecosystem projects like mETH, fBTC, MI4 and more. This is complemented by Mantle Network’s partnerships with leading issuers and protocols such as Ethena USDe, Ondo USDY, and OP-Succinct.

DUBAI, UAE, June 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced the launch of Bybit IPO Express, becoming one of the first centralized crypto exchanges globally to offer tokenized IPO (initial public offerings) at the offering price. Powered by Payward Services‘ xStocks, eligible retail investors worldwide can now participate in blockbuster IPO projects by subscribing to tokenized representations of publicly traded equities, starting with SpaceX as the inaugural offering.
The launch marks a fundamental step in the convergence of traditional capital markets and crypto-native infrastructure, as exchanges increasingly compete to expand beyond digital asset trading into broader financial services. Bybit’s IPO Express is designed to provide users with streamlined access to primary market opportunities that have historically been concentrated among institutional investors, private banking clients, and select brokerage networks.
Dissolving the IPO Access Gap
Participation in high-profile IPOs has traditionally been limited by geography, brokerage relationships, allocation requirements, and institutional demand dynamics. Retail investors in many regions often gain access only after public listing, when early allocations and price discovery have already taken place.
By bringing broader investor interest, liquidity, and the underlying assets onchain, compliant tokenization solutions by xStocks enable IPO access at scale for millions of investors worldwide through global platforms like Bybit. xStocks’s tokenized IPO access complements its popular tokenized equities offerings which cover listed shares trading on secondary markets. Through xStocks’ regulated blockchain-agnostic framework built for onchain interoperability, holders of tokenized listed stocks can access extended trading hours, DeFi composability and flexibility, and crypto-native settlement.
For Bybit customers, it is the first time cryptocurrency exchange users can purchase shares at IPO pricing outside of the competitive secondary market. No longer bound by geographic limitations, without the hassle of traditional brokerage account opening and maintenance, eligible users can participate in IPO subscriptions directly through their Bybit account without opening traditional brokerage accounts or navigating fragmented cross-border financial infrastructure.
SpaceX (SPCX) IPO Offering Timeline on Bybit IPO Express
SpaceX will be the first major IPO available for eligible users through the Bybit IPO Express framework. The timeline is as follows for eligible Bybit users:
- Registration Period (June 7 to 11, 2026): Prior to the IPO, eligible users may indicate their non-binding interests by registering on Bybit IPO Express and review SpaceX’s offering details.
- Subscription Window (June 7 to 11, 2026): Eligible users can submit subscription requests within the announced IPO price range. Funds are committed until allocation.
- Allocation (June 11 to 12, 2026): SpaceX token will be distributed to Bybit users’ accounts, and allocations are calculated pro-rata to total subscription demand. Unused funds will be refunded automatically.
- Bybit Spot Listing (June 12, 2026): Tokenized SpaceX shares become available for trading on Bybit Spot.
“Bybit has always pushed the boundaries of what a financial platform can offer, and being one of the first two centralized exchanges to bring compliant tokenized SpaceX IPO access at the offering price is exactly the kind of milestone that defines our next chapter,” said Emily Bao, Head of Spot at Bybit.
“For decades, the most exciting moments in capital markets were reserved for institutions and the well-connected investors. Through our partnership with xStocks, Bybit customers around the world can now invest directly in US-listed IPOs alongside their crypto assets, on equal footing with institutional investors. This is what building a New Financial Platform means: bridging the best of traditional finance and crypto into one seamless experience, genuinely accessible to everyone.”
The product launch also reflects the broader momentum behind tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), a sector increasingly viewed by both crypto-native firms and traditional financial institutions as a long-term growth area for blockchain adoption.
About SpaceX IPO and xStocks IPO Access
The xStocks IPO framework maintains institutional-grade compliance standards. On the public listing day, allocations are finalized and IPO shares are tokenized, backed 1:1 by real equity held in regulated broker-dealer custody.

IPO-related assets may experience significant price volatility after listing. Users should carefully assess all associated risks before participating. Listings may also be adjusted, delayed, or canceled due to market or regulatory conditions.

SpaceX is set to debut on Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX as early as June 12, 2026, after filing its S-1 with the SEC on May 20. Elon Musk has agreed to lock 100% of his shares for 366 days.
The arrangement has redrawn how crypto venues price the company before listing. Hyperliquid, Binance, OKX, Bitget, and BingX each run synthetic SPCX perpetuals while accredited investors access real shares through Forge Global and EquityZen at a $1.75 trillion valuation.
Six Investor Questions on the SpaceX IPO Mechanics
The following are some of the questions and answers investors must have, even as Elon Musk locks up 100% of his SpaceX holdings for a year.
Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens
1. Can retail investors actually buy SpaceX shares before the IPO, or only synthetic exposure?
Direct ownership remains off the table for anyone outside the cap structure.
Synthetic perpetuals listed on Hyperliquid, Binance, Bitget, OKX, and BingX simply mirror an implied valuation through derivative contracts and confer no shareholder rights.
Secondary platforms such as Forge Global and EquityZen require accredited or qualified institutional status, locking out smaller buyers.
Crypto perpetual contracts therefore stand as the sole entry point for non-accredited traders looking to position around crypto markets pricing SpaceX ahead of June 12.
2. How do crypto perpetual markets like SPCX-USDC price SpaceX without a public listing?
Pricing flows from a constructed oracle rather than a live exchange feed, because no public market for SPCX exists yet.
The oracle blends comparables from recent private tender offers, mention-weighted public-company proxies, and likely midpoints from Polymarket and Kalshi prediction markets.
Funding payments then nudge the contract back toward the anchor whenever traders push it too far in either direction.
The setup leaves SPCX-USDC more vulnerable to oracle disputes and forced unwinds than a typical listed instrument.
3. What happens to pre-IPO derivatives and tokenized products after the Nasdaq debut?
Once SPCX prints on Nasdaq, deployers will either retire the pre-IPO contracts or migrate them to perpetuals tied to the live share price.
The Hyperliquid HIP-3 upgrade gives Trade.xyz the flexibility to convert or sunset the market entirely. Bitget, OKX, and BingX have stayed silent on what comes next for their pre-IPO products.
Tokenized SpaceX shares from Ondo, Backed Finance, and Dinari are queued for release within hours of the bell, creating a parallel 24/7 access layer.
4. Is SpaceX’s reported Bitcoin treasury figure fully verified or partly based on tagged wallets?
The S-1 filed with the SEC on May 20, 2026, is the controlling source, and that document records 18,712 Bitcoin (BTC) on SpaceX’s balance sheet.
Arkham Intelligence has publicly identified only 8,285 BTC tied to labeled SpaceX Bitcoin treasury holdings through April 2026, leaving a substantial portion unlabeled.
Analysts attribute the shortfall to corporate addresses that have not yet been mapped on-chain.
“Elon’s SpaceX holding 18,712 BTC isn’t the real story. The real deal is that on-chain trackers only saw the tip of the iceberg. Arkham Intelligence had it pegged SpaceX Bitcoin holdings at ~8,000–8,285 BTC. So… how much Bitcoin are public companies actually hiding?” a popular user on X posed.
SpaceX values the position at $1.293 billion, against an acquisition cost of $661 million, with an embedded gain of nearly $632 million.
5. Why did Hyperliquid gain a first-mover advantage over centralized exchanges in SPCX trading?
The HIP-3 standard allows independent deployers to spin up perpetual venues without waiting for a centralized listing review, thereby dramatically compressing the launch cycle.
CEX rivals must clear internal compliance and risk processes that typically take weeks.
Hyperliquid captured the resulting head start in volume, clearing $33 million on launch day on May 18 as the contract briefly hit $216 before resetting near $203.
Trade.xyz, the deploying entity, is part of Hyperliquid’s tokenization arm, Hyperunit.
6. How should investors separate real IPO mechanics from speculative trading narratives?
The cleanest split is to anchor every fact against the SEC filing and treat everything outside it as market interpretation.
The S-1 sets the legally binding inputs, including the 366-day Musk lock-up, the staggered 180-day terms for other shareholders, the 5% friends-and-family carve-out, and the 18,712 BTC treasury.
Synthetic perpetual prices, oracle constructions, and tokenized wrapper roadmaps sit in the second category and can move on sentiment alone.
Pegging positions to the filing first, then layering venue-specific risks on top, keeps trading narratives from contaminating the underlying valuation thesis.
The Bottom Line on the SpaceX IPO
The 366-day Musk lock-up cuts back near-term insider selling pressure. Other shareholders face staggered 180-day restrictions with early release triggers tied to earnings reports and share price performance above the IPO price.
The S-1 carves out roughly 5% of shares for employees and a friends-and-family pool with no lock-up.
For institutions weighing how to invest in SpaceX pre-IPO, the gulf between synthetic exposure and real equity stays wide until shares trade.
Musk retains roughly 85.1% of voting power through dual-class stock, keeping control concentrated even after listing.
Whether the constructed oracle pricing on crypto venues converges with the Nasdaq print after June 12 will be the cleanest test of how well these markets handled price discovery for a $1.75 trillion company.

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced the listing of the SPCXUSDT Perpetual Contract, offering leveraged exposure to SpaceX (SPCX) before its highly anticipated initial public offering on June 12, 2026. The contract is now live on the platform with up to 10x leverage, providing early access to one of the most transformative technology companies in modern times.
This launch coincides with SpaceX’s historic IPO on the horizon. According to official filings, SpaceX is targeting a valuation of over $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion, and plans to raise approximately $75 billion in what would become the largest initial public offering in capital market history, surpassing Saudi Aramco’s previous record of $29.4 billion set in 2019.
SpaceX has fundamentally transformed the aerospace industry, reducing launch costs by orders of magnitude through its reusable rocket technology. Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet service, has grown to over 8 million active subscribers worldwide and generated approximately $7.7 billion in 2024 revenue. The company recently acquired xAI, Elon Musk’s AI venture, creating a vertically integrated enterprise spanning space exploration and satellite technology with AI. The valuation reflects SpaceX’s position as a defining force in both aerospace and AI-driven connectivity.
The underlying asset of Bybit’s SPCXUSDT perpetual contract is SPCX settled in USDT. Offering 24/7 access, the contract allows up to 10x leverage. The total estimated share count is 11.87 billion shares.
The SPCXUSDT listing reinforces Bybit’s commitment to supporting traders with early access to transformative investment opportunities. By bringing pre-IPO exposure to SpaceX, Bybit enables its global community to participate in high-growth markets and remain at the cutting edge of technological innovation.
Bybit’s perpetual contract offers traders multiple advantages over traditional equity markets:
- 24/7 Trading: Around-the-clock access, unrestricted by traditional market hours
- High Leverage: Up to 10x leverage, enabling capital-efficient trading strategies
- Zero Expiration: Perpetual contracts provide unlimited holding periods without rollover
- Advanced Tools: Professional-grade charting, analytics, and risk management features
- Institutional-Grade Security: Professional custody and insurance protections
Terms and conditions apply. Trading carries risk. Bybit’s products and services may not be available in all jurisdictions. For more information on contract details, eligibility and potential restrictions, users may visit: New listing: SPCXUSDT Pre-IPO Perpetual Contract, with up to 10x leverage
