Bitget and BTCC Launch Retail Access to SpaceX Exposure
Bitget and BTCC released separate financial products allowing retail investors to gain price exposure to the private aerospace company SpaceX.
The cryptocurrency exchanges Bitget and BTCC launched distinct financial products providing retail investors with price exposure to Space Exploration Technologies Corp., commonly known as SpaceX. These launches respond to high retail demand driven by SpaceX valuation estimates reaching $1.75 trillion, fueled by the growth of Starlink.
Bitget introduced IPO Prime, a market structure powered by Republic. This subscription-based model allows users to trade tokenized pre-IPO exposure, starting with a digital asset called preSPAX on April 21, 2026. The asset is designed to mirror the economic performance of SpaceX upon a potential public listing.
Separately, BTCC added SPACEXUSDT perpetual futures to its tokenized stocks section. Unlike the economic interest model used by Bitget, BTCC's product is a futures contract that offers leverage up to 50x, allowing traders to speculate on price exposure and market sentiment.
