SpaceX Tokenized IPO Campaign Draws $557M on Binance Ahead of Debut
Crypto Insight Summary: Crypto markets are becoming a new venue for pre-IPO price discovery ahead of SpaceX's highly anticipated debut on June 12. Binance's SpaceX tokenized IPO campaign attracted over $557 million in USDC deposits from about 27,689 wallet addresses ahead of the company's highly anticipated public listing. Wallets contributing up to $20,000 accounted for more than 81% of participating addresses but only 18.39% of total funds, while 114 addresses contributed over $500,000 each, representing about 10.2% of the funds, according to Dune [data](https://dune.com/0xxiaoc/bn-spacex-ipo). The deposits point to strong demand for crypto-based pre-IPO exposure ahead of SpaceX's Nasdaq debut on Friday, with the company [seeking](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1181412/000162828026042466/spaceexplorationtechnologi.htm) to raise $75 billion at $135 a share and an around $1.8 trillion valuation. On decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, SpaceX perpetual futures traded in the $180 to $200 range after the pre-IPO market went live on May 18, implying a valuation closer to $2.5 trillion, Talos said in a Tuesday [report](https://www.talos.com/insights/state-of-the-network-367). The implied share price moved closer to the IPO level by Monday but has since rebounded to $179. _SpaceX perpetual futures traded at around $179 across Hyperliquid, Binance and other crypto platforms.
