SpaceX IPO: An opportunity that retail investors can no longer afford to miss has finally arrived

“The last internet boom you missed, the previous AI wave you could only watch from the sidelines. Today, SpaceX has opened a door to everyone for the first time. Do you still want to be just an observer?”

Just past the halfway point of 2026, the most explosive news in commercial spaceflight is the SpaceX IPO. According to the latest market reports, SpaceX plans to officially go public on June 12, 2026, on NASDAQ, with the stock ticker SPCX. The intended offering price is $135 per share, with an estimated valuation of $1.75 to $1.77 trillion, raising approximately $75 billion. Such a massive scale has directly broken the global IPO record in capital markets and could make SpaceX the seventh-largest publicly traded company in the U.S. by market cap.

However, what excites retail investors even more is not how impressive SpaceX is or how large its market cap is, but that this time, it’s no longer an exclusive “luxury feast” for institutions. With Gate.io’s latest “Direct IPO” service, ordinary users can participate in SpaceX’s IPO subscription with as little as 100 USDT! This not only lowers the barrier for investors to join the cutting-edge tech capital feast but also marks a milestone in the deep integration of traditional finance and the cryptocurrency world.

What makes Gate.io’s “Direct IPO” mechanism innovative? It allows users to directly subscribe to SpaceX shares using USDT, employing a weighted distribution system where the earlier you complete your subscription, the higher your allocation weight. To participate, simply go to the Gate homepage, select the “Finance” section, then the “Direct IPO” zone, and choose SpaceX to submit your intent to subscribe. The subscription period runs from 6:00 PM on June 9 to 12:00 PM on June 12 (UTC+8). Most importantly, once allocated, shares will be directly distributed to your Gate stock account on June 12, allowing you to trade real U.S. stocks immediately without lock-up restrictions.

What kind of company is SpaceX? Simply put, it’s no longer just a space launch company. Its business covers three major sectors: first, Starlink, which generated $11.38 billion in revenue in 2025, with over 10 million paid users worldwide, serving as the company’s core cash cow; second, Starship, which is reshaping space launch costs with reusable rocket technology, having completed the third-generation Starship V3 test flight at the end of May 2026; third, space AI/computing power, which completed the merger with xAI Holdings this February, officially making AI a core business segment, and signed a $920 million monthly computing power partnership with Google, renting about 110k NVIDIA GPUs. With these three strategic pushes—“Space + AI”—SpaceX possesses a strategic depth that other companies cannot replicate.

For retail investors, this opportunity is especially precious. Under traditional IPO rules, only top underwriters like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley can participate directly in allocations, with investment thresholds often reaching millions or even tens of millions of dollars. Now, Gate.io has streamlined the entire process from IPO subscription to stock trading, allowing retail investors to enjoy the early premium of the sector. Additionally, compared to the cumbersome process of opening traditional securities accounts, Gate users only need to hold USDT to participate with a single click, lowering cross-border investment barriers and truly enabling “access to high-quality global assets with one click.”

Of course, every investment opportunity also comes with inevitable challenges. Although SpaceX’s valuation is as high as $1.75 trillion, its net loss in 2025 still reached $4.94 billion, with a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of about 100 times, far exceeding traditional aerospace valuation levels, raising concerns about a valuation bubble. Meanwhile, over 80% of voting rights are concentrated in Musk’s hands, and after the IPO, only about 4.2% of shares will be freely tradable, leading to high concentration. In the early days of trading, the stock price may experience significant volatility. Therefore, while subscription lowers the entry barrier, every participant should analyze risks rationally and invest within their means.

As a shining star in global commercial spaceflight, SpaceX carries the dreams of countless people for space exploration. This time, Gate’s “Direct IPO” gives every ordinary user a chance to be part of that dream. Just 100 USDT—a seemingly modest number—could be the key to entering the next era of investment blue oceans. Are you ready? #Gate直通IPO认购SpaceX
