By ForexTime 

• SpaceX IPO scheduled for Friday 12th June
• $75 billion capital raise forecast – largest IPO ever recorded
• 555.6 million shares expected to be sold at $135
• Valuation seen at $1.8 trillion on debut

Everybody is talking about the SpaceX IPO.

And why not? It could be one of the biggest moments in market history.

We’re talking about a $1.8 trillion valuation. A $75 billion capital raise. The largest IPO ever recorded.

Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang says buying now could be like buying Amazon, Google, and Meta on day one.

This is not background noise. Don’t get left behind.

What is an IPO

• An IPO, or initial public offering, is the term for the first time that a private company sells shares of its stock to the public on a stock exchange.

When is SpaceX going public?

• On Friday 12^th June, millions of new shares in the company will start trading on the stock market.

Key metrics

• 550+ million shares are expected to be sold at $135 each.
• Exchange listing: Nasdaq (and Nasdaq Texas)
• Stock ticker: SPCX
• Latest revenue (FY 2025): $18.7 billion

Why SpaceX’s Nasdaq Listing Actually Matters

• A recent rule change lets companies join the Nasdaq 100 just 15 trading days after listing, replacing the historic three-month seasoning period.

• The idea of SpaceX joining Nasdaq in such a short period could translate to increased levels of volatility.

The First Real Test of the AI Boom

• SpaceX is just the opening act with OpenAI is reportedly eyeing a September listing and Anthropic joining the party in October.

• Three companies with a combined valuation of over $3.5 trillion in value, hitting public markets within months of each other in 2026.

• That makes the SpaceX debut a genuine yardstick, a live test of whether public markets can absorb AI-linked equity at trillion-dollar valuations, on businesses that are loss-making today and transformational tomorrow.

Potential Valuations After The IPO

• Prediction markets are pricing a 40% chance that it closes above the $2 trillion valuation post debut.

What assets may be impacted?

• Nasdaq100/S&P 500: direct index weight implications and sentiment spillover across tech.

• USD: a landmark listing of this size draws global capital inflows, which may influence the dollar.

• Risk-sensitive pairs: AUD, NZD could catch a bid on broad risk-on sentiment if the debut is strong

Nvidia CEO stamp of approval

Jensen Huang – CEO of the world’s most valuable company stated that buying SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic at IPO could be like buying Amazon, Google, and Meta in their early days.

That’s not a random take. This is the man running a $5 trillion company built on exactly that kind of early bet.

What could go wrong

• At $1.75–2T valuation, there’s almost no margin for error. It’s priced for perfection on a business that isn’t yet profitable. Any miss on growth expectations post-listing could hit the stock hard.

• If the debut is weak, the narrative flips fast with every AI IPO behind it facing a harder market.
