- Futures Price Movement: SpaceX's pre-IPO perpetual futures are trading around $162 on the Hyperliquid platform, which is 20% above the fixed IPO price of $135, yet significantly down from the peak of over $220 reached shortly after its May launch, indicating volatility in market sentiment.
- Strong Investment Demand: The IPO is reportedly four times oversubscribed, reflecting robust investor interest; however, the market's enthusiasm for the IPO is not euphoric, which could impact future liquidity and price discovery.
- Market Reaction Analysis: While the perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid suggest interest in the SpaceX IPO, Eric Chen, CEO of Injective Labs, notes that the active, risk-tolerant traders are not pricing in a significant premium, indicating a potentially cautious market response.
- Crypto Market Impact: The decline in SpaceX's perpetual futures coincides with a broader downturn in cryptocurrency prices, with Bitcoin and Ethereum down 20% and 23% respectively during the same period, reflecting overall weakness in the crypto market.
