  • SpaceX Pre-IPO Market Drops 27% Ahead of Historic Listing
    June 10, 2026, 3:52 AM EDT. SpaceX's pre-IPO market linked derivative, SPCX, fell 27% over three weeks, trading near $157 on Wednesday down from $216 in mid-May. The product, a 5x-leverage perpetual contract on Hyperliquid, reflects a reduced implied premium for SpaceX's IPO, which is priced at $135 per share. Initially at a 60% premium, the contract now prices the company closer to a 16% premium, indicating cautious trader sentiment despite strong investor interest. SpaceX's fixed-price IPO, seeking $75 billion from over $250 billion in demand, lacks the usual dynamic pricing mechanism, leaving derivatives like SPCX to track market expectations. Broader market weakness and crypto jitters also weigh on derivatives, though traders still anticipate a premium at listing.
