@cointelegraph
Summary
SpaceX's highly anticipated IPO on June 12 raised $75 billion at $135 per share, valuing the company at over $2 trillion and making Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. While early investors saw massive gains, crypto traders who held pre-IPO subscription tokens on exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and Bitget were completely shut out of allocations. The IPO validated crypto's role in pre-IPO price discovery but exposed the fundamental limits of tokenized equity access, as retail traders using tokenized platforms received no actual shares.
