How to invest in SpaceX with one click on Gate Pre IPOs? Retail investors get early access to trillion-dollar valuation unicorns

When Elon Musk’s commercial space giant SpaceX officially submitted a secret IPO application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the global capital markets’ attention instantly focused. With a target valuation of up to $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion, once listed, it will surpass Saudi Aramco’s 2019 record of a $29 billion IPO, becoming the largest initial public offering in human capital markets history.

For ordinary investors who have long followed SpaceX but can only watch with envy, good news has arrived—Gate has launched a new Pre IPOs mechanism, allowing retail investors to easily position themselves before SpaceX goes public, with a minimum of just 100 USDT.

Why is SpaceX Pre IPO so highly anticipated?

SpaceX’s trillion-dollar valuation is not just a fantasy, but is built on three core business engines.

Starlink is its stable “cash cow.” As of March 2026, global active users of Starlink have exceeded 10 million, with over 10k satellites in orbit, accounting for 66% of the total active satellites worldwide. The rocket launch business is SpaceX’s global monopoly trump card. In 2025, SpaceX completed 165 rocket launches, accounting for 51% of the global launch total, and over 80% of the U.S. commercial rocket launch market. Starship + xAI is the core of future imagination space. In February 2026, SpaceX completed a merger with Elon Musk’s AI company xAI, with the combined entity valued at $1.25 trillion. The company’s narrative has shifted from “rocket company” to “a platform integrating artificial intelligence and space infrastructure.”

According to the latest news, SpaceX is expected to officially publish its IPO prospectus in late May, with roadshows scheduled to start the week of June 8, and plans to set the offering price during the week of June 15. More notably, the CFO of SpaceX explicitly stated: “Retail investors will be a key part of this IPO, accounting for more than any previous IPO.” It is reported that Musk hopes to allocate up to 30% of the new shares to retail investors, far exceeding the usual 5% to 10% for typical listed companies.

What is Gate Pre IPOs? Why choose SPCX?

In traditional finance, Pre IPO investments have always been exclusive to top-tier venture capital firms, private equity funds, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, with minimum investments often in the millions of dollars. Gate’s digital Pre IPOs mechanism has completely broken down this high barrier.

Gate Pre IPOs is a digital participation mechanism centered around the “pre-listing phase” of companies, with the core goal of allowing users to track valuation changes and participate in potential opportunities before the target company enters the public market. The first project launched is SpaceX (asset token symbol: SPCX).

SPCX is not direct stock in SpaceX but a Mirror Note—users hold an economic benefit right (tracking valuation fluctuations), without voting rights or dividends as shareholders. Gate hedges by holding SpaceX equity or derivatives off-chain, issuing SPCX to mirror its value.

How to subscribe to SPCX with one click on Gate?

Participating in Gate Pre IPOs is very simple, only 3 steps:

Step 1: Log in to your Gate account

Complete identity verification (KYC) via the Gate App or official website.

Step 2: Enter the Pre IPOs page

Path: Home → Wealth Management → Pre IPOs, select the SPCX project.

Step 3: Submit subscription

Choose USDT or GUSD as payment currency, enter subscription amount (minimum 100 USDT), confirm and submit.

Special reminder: Subscription is based on the “average locked amount per hour” for allocation—early participation and longer lock-up time increase your allocation weight. The system will allocate assets based on the ratio of your average hourly locked amount during the 48-hour subscription period to the total average subscription amount. The earlier you subscribe, the higher your allocation weight.

SPCX’s exit mechanism and liquidity

Unlike traditional Pre IPO investments that face multi-year lock-up periods, SPCX introduces flexible exit strategies:

  • Pre-market trading: After subscription, SPCX asset tokens will be fully unlocked and enter pre-market trading, supporting 24/7 buying and selling.
  • Post-lockup exit: The lock-up period is 6 months after listing. After the lock-up, Gate will provide an exclusive exit page where holders can exchange their holdings for stock tokens or, based on the actual market price after listing, convert to USDT.

Advantages of Gate Pre IPOs compared to traditional Pre IPO investments

Comparison dimension Traditional Pre IPO investment Gate Pre IPOs (SPCX)
Minimum threshold Several million USD 100 USDT
Participation eligibility Qualified investors/institutions Global users who complete KYC
Account opening process Complex, requires overseas securities account One-click on-chain participation
Liquidity Multi-year lock-up, difficult to exit 100% unlocked, 24/7 pre-market trading

Gate’s digital Pre IPOs model, leveraging blockchain technology, converts unlisted company’s equity into on-chain digital tokens, allowing ordinary users to subscribe directly with USDT, without complex procedures, high capital thresholds, or geographical restrictions.

Risk warning: Please read carefully before investing

While Pre IPO investments are attractive, they also carry specific risks:

  1. SPCX is not actual equity in SpaceX but a mirror note. Users do not have voting or dividend rights.
  2. SpaceX has not yet gone public; delays or cancellation of IPO are possible.
  3. The Pre IPO market is highly illiquid and volatile; asset prices may fluctuate sharply.
  4. This product is a complex derivative and suitable only for high-risk appetite investors.
  5. Cannot convert to stock during the lock-up period; only after 6 months post-listing can it be unlocked.

Summary

As of April 21, 2026, Gate Pre IPOs’ first project SpaceX (SPCX) is actively open for subscription. The subscription window closes at 18:00 on April 22 (UTC+8), with very limited remaining time. SpaceX, with an implied valuation of $1.4 trillion and a price of 590 USDT per share, is open for global retail subscription, with a minimum of just 100 USDT.

For investors optimistic about the commercial space sector and eager to get early exposure to SpaceX’s trillion-dollar market cap, Gate Pre IPOs offers an unprecedented low-threshold channel. After subscription ends, SPCX will begin 24/7 pre-market trading on April 24, allowing users to hold until IPO or exit at will. The opportunity window is closing soon—interested investors should log in to the Gate platform promptly and complete their subscription in the Pre IPOs zone.
