Overview
June 12, 2026 marks one of the most consequential days in stock market history. SpaceX begins trading on the Nasdaq under ticker SPCX, priced at $135 per share, targeting a $1.75 trillion valuation and raising approximately $75 billion — the largest IPO on record. For most retail investors, however, accessing this moment through a traditional brokerage is slow, complicated, and dominated by institutional allocations. This guide explains why SpaceX commands its valuation, and how
MEXC gives global crypto users two practical, low-barrier ways to participate starting today.

Why SpaceX Is Worth $1.75 Trillion
Starlink: A Satellite Network With Near-Zero Marginal Costs
SpaceX's core competitive moat is not its rockets — it is Starlink.
Starship: The Cost Reduction Engine
SpaceX completed 165 orbital launches in 2025, its sixth consecutive annual launch record, with a single Falcon 9 booster reused 29 times. The
FAA has authorized SpaceX to increase annual launch cadence at Starbase from 5 to 25 missions per year, enabling faster deployment of the next-generation large Starlink satellite constellation. Starship's capacity to carry 50 of those larger satellites per launch — compared to a fraction of that for Falcon 9 — means deployment cost per satellite will drop significantly once Starship enters full commercial service.
xAI: The AI-Space Convergence Thesis
SpaceX completed the acquisition of Elon Musk's AI company xAI in February 2026. The AI segment generated $3.2 billion in revenue in 2025 and is building the orbital computing infrastructure project codenamed COLOSSUS. SpaceX's low-earth orbit network creates natural infrastructure for xAI's computing demands — this is no longer just a rocket company. It is a vertically integrated platform spanning launch, connectivity, and computation.
The Retail Investor Problem: Why You Cannot Get IPO Shares the Traditional Way
The traditional IPO allocation system is designed around institutional investors.
Even when brokerages offer IPO access to retail clients, the share of allocation is minimal. SPCX reserved up to 30% of shares for retail — triple the typical 5 to 10% — but at a $75 billion raise, competition from hundreds of millions of eligible participants makes meaningful allocation unlikely for most individuals. Beyond allocation, the practical barriers compound: overseas brokerage account setup involves multiple rounds of KYC documentation, international wire transfers taking days, minimum deposit thresholds, and waiting periods that can extend to weeks. For anyone whose capital sits in USDT or other crypto assets, converting that into a position in a US-listed stock through traditional channels involves friction at every step.
The Solution: Buy Real SPCX Shares With USDT via MEXC RealStocks
MEXC launched RealStocks through its licensed broker partner Atomic Vaults. Eligible users can purchase genuine shares in US-listed companies — including SPCX — directly within MEXC's interface, settling in USDT, with no separate brokerage account required.
Feature | Traditional US Broker | MEXC RealStocks |
Account setup | Overseas account + multi-step KYC | MEXC account only, no separate brokerage needed |
Funding method | International bank wire, days to clear | USDT deposit, near-instant |
Trading fees | Typically 0.1%–0.5% per trade | Zero commission during launch period |
Minimum deposit | Often $500 or more | Low barrier to entry |
Dividend rights | Yes | Where applicable, dividend eligible |
Asset management | Crypto and stocks on separate platforms | Unified interface for crypto and US stocks |
Settlement currency | USD | USDT |
The shares held through MEXC RealStocks are real equity securities in custody with a licensed broker — not synthetic instruments, not price-tracking derivatives.
Over 20,000 users participated in the beta phase, validating the product before the official launch. MEXC CEO Vugar Usi has described RealStocks as the point at which crypto users can "truly own world-class traditional financial assets within a familiar crypto trading environment — not just track their price."

Limited-Time Offer: SPCXx Launchpad — Share 70,546 Tokenized SpaceX Shares
MEXC is simultaneously offering a second route through
SPCXx Launchpad: a tokenized stock subscription event distributing 70,546 SPCXx tokens.
What Is SPCXx?
SPCXx is a tokenized stock product issued under the xStocks framework. Each SPCXx token is backed 1:1 by a real SpaceX share held in regulated custody, with its price tracking SPCX's market performance in real time. The subscription price is 141.75 USDT per token (the $135 IPO price plus an approximately 5% underwriting service fee). Funds are frozen during the subscription period and only confirmed upon allocation.
How to Participate

MEXC and complete Advanced KYC verification
Deposit at least $100 in available funds to your account

Submit your subscription; funds are reserved and frozen until allocation results are confirmed
After the event closes, SPCXx tokens will be tradable on the secondary market with zero transaction fees.
SPCXx vs Real SPCX Shares: Key Differences
SPCXx provides price exposure to SPCX but does not confer voting rights, dividend entitlements, or shareholder claims — SpaceX has no involvement in the product. Real SPCX shares held through MEXC RealStocks carry full equity rights under the applicable custody structure. These are not competing products. They serve different use cases: use SPCXx for fast, low-barrier price exposure; use MEXC RealStocks for full stock ownership with dividend eligibility.
MEXC Crypto Pulse Research Team's Take
The $1.75 trillion valuation for SpaceX at approximately 94 times trailing revenue is not irrational pricing — it is a structured bet on three simultaneous execution scenarios: Starlink's subscriber base continuing to scale toward a hundred million users over the next decade; Starship dramatically compressing the cost of mass-to-orbit; and xAI's orbital computing infrastructure becoming a meaningful revenue category.
The closest historical analogy is AWS in 2003: invisible to most analysts on Amazon's income statement, yet the asset that would ultimately underpin the company's entire public market valuation. Starlink's economics — a constellation that generates increasing revenue at near-zero marginal cost once deployed — are structurally similar. The market is pricing that trajectory, not the current loss-making balance sheet.
The risks are real and should not be minimized. Elon Musk retains 85.1% voting control through a super-voting share class, meaning retail shareholders have no governance influence. Starship's commercial timeline carries execution risk. The xAI integration is early-stage, and its path to profitability is unclear. For retail investors, SPCX is best positioned as a long-horizon technology growth holding rather than a short-term trading instrument.
For the crypto-native audience, MEXC's three-tier product stack — Pre-IPO tokenized exposure, zero-fee Stock Futures, and RealStocks direct ownership — represents the most technically integrated approach to US equity access available in the digital asset ecosystem today.
Closing: More Than a Trade
Every era has its defining entry point.
Those who stayed in during the dot-com shakeout held their positions into Google's IPO. Those who bought Apple before the iPhone era captured the most significant consumer technology run of the past two decades.
SpaceX's public debut is the moment that compressed-price exposure to satellite internet, reusable rockets, and orbital AI infrastructure becomes available at the retail level — without institutional gatekeepers.
Hold SPCX for the long-term thesis through
MEXC RealStocks. Subscribe to SPCXx for opening-day flexibility through
SPCXx Launchpad. Both positions point in the same direction.
The opening bell has rung.
