- SpaceX is launching the largest IPO in history today, June 12, 2026, with a potential valuation above $2 trillion.
- Financial markets and cryptocurrencies have faced substantial liquidations, with analysts pointing to a pre-IPO liquidity drain as a possible cause.

- While Micron (MU) stock corrected amid the dip, many anticipate it will soon regain its upward trajectory.
SpaceX is set to make its highly anticipated IPO later today, June 12, 2026, in a landmark event poised to reshape finance. Many anticipate the company will trade above a staggering $2 trillion valuation upon going public, potentially making Elon Musk history’s first trillionaire. Consequently, the financial markets have been gripped by theories of a significant liquidity drain ahead of this historic offering.
Cryptocurrencies and the stock market faced substantial liquidations, which many attribute to capital being repositioned for the IPO. According to reports, BlackRock has already placed an order for $5 billion worth of SpaceX shares. However, analysts note other major factors are simultaneously straining investor sentiment.
The first is rising inflation in the United States, with Consumer Price Index figures having increased to 4.2% in May. Meanwhile, a re-escalation of the US-Iran conflict threatens to drive crude oil prices higher, further straining the economy. Consequently, assets like Micron (MU) have faced a correction amid the recent broad market dip.
Despite the short-term pressure, Micron has displayed incredible growth over the last few months. Many anticipate the stock will continue its upward trajectory and regain momentum soon. While SpaceX will dominate headlines, the underlying strength of other tech equities remains a focal point for investors.
