Just caught something worth paying attention to. SpaceX is gearing up for what could be the biggest IPO in history. They quietly filed with the SEC earlier this month, looking to raise around $75 billion with a valuation hitting $1.75 trillion. If this launches in June like expected, it absolutely crushes Saudi Aramco's $29 billion record from 2019.
But here's what caught my eye—this isn't happening in isolation. OpenAI and Anthropic are also planning to go public in the second half of the year. We're talking about over $240 billion in total funding flowing into these mega tech IPOs. That's a lot of capital.
The thing is, when you look at crypto IPOs and how they've historically impacted the market, there's a pattern. These massive fundraising events have a way of pulling liquidity out of riskier assets. And crypto? We're basically swimming in the same pool of capital as tech equities.
Bitcoin and Ethereum have been pretty tightly correlated with Nasdaq sentiment lately. So if a huge chunk of money suddenly pivots towards investing in SpaceX, OpenAI, and other tech giants through these IPOs, it could mean less buying pressure on BTC, ETH, and the altcoin space. Some analysts are drawing parallels to what happened when a major crypto exchange went public back in 2021—that actually coincided with a local top for Bitcoin.
So yeah, these upcoming crypto IPOs and mega tech fundraising events could very well become a critical liquidity inflection point for the entire market. Worth watching closely over the next couple months.
