Solana Foundation President Lily Liu announced that tokenized shares of SpaceX will be available on the blockchain immediately following the company's public listing. During an interview with CNBC, Liu stated that the shares will be globally accessible via tokenization platforms, including Ondo Finance, xStocks, and Backpack Securities. This initiative aims to bridge traditional equities with decentralized finance, allowing crypto investors to gain exposure to the space giant.
Platforms and Availability
Ondo Finance confirmed the asset will be listed as SPCXon. The platform already hosts over 200 assets, including "Mag 7" stocks like Nvidia Corp. and Microsoft Corp. However, Ondo Finance's platform is not currently available to users in the U.S. Similarly, xStocks will offer a cryptocurrency derivative of SpaceX, trading under the ticker $SPCXx, on the Solana-based decentralized exchange Trojan Trading. xStocks provide price exposure to equities without conferring direct ownership and are also unavailable in the U.S.
Backpack Securities teased the launch of SPCX, a tokenized version of SpaceX equity, on the Sunrise decentralized finance platform. The firm stated it would facilitate the movement of SpaceX shares between traditional brokers and the Solana blockchain.
Broader Market Context
The move comes as competition intensifies to provide access to SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO) for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit recently announced a similar tokenized offering. Additionally, perpetual futures have been launched by exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, and Hyperliquid, allowing eligible traders to speculate on SpaceX's implied valuation and expected share price prior to the IPO.
SpaceX is preparing to launch its highly anticipated IPO on Friday. The company is reportedly aiming to raise $75 billion and is targeting a valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion.
How will the SEC regulate tokenized equities like SPCX given their unavailability to U.S. investors?
Will the success of SpaceX tokenization drive similar offerings for other major private companies preparing for IPOs?
What impact will the availability of tokenized shares have on traditional brokerage demand for the SpaceX IPO?
