  • Oregon Treasurer Flags Pension Risks in SpaceX $75B IPO Amid Nasdaq Rule Changes
    June 11, 2026, 8:41 PM EDT. Oregon State Treasurer Elizabeth Steiner and counterparts from Illinois and Maryland have raised concerns over Nasdaq's new "fast-entry" listing rule ahead of SpaceX's planned June 12 IPO. The rule allows companies to join the Nasdaq-100 index after just 15 trading days, potentially increasing market volatility and posing risks to public employee pensions and passive index funds. The officials, representing over 1.5 million pension beneficiaries, urge Nasdaq to justify these rule changes as SpaceX's IPO-valued at $75 billion and the largest in U.S. history-loom. SpaceX's combined assets, including Starlink and xAI, reach an estimated $1.75 trillion. Nasdaq says these methodology updates reflect evolving market dynamics and followed public consultation.
