- Bitcoin is experiencing fresh volatility amid SpaceX‘s imminent IPO, with traders betting it could stress the crypto market.
- The SpaceX perpetual contract on Hyperliquid implies a company valuation of up to $2.4 trillion.
- Analysts warn the IPO will test crypto liquidity as capital rotates out of risk assets like Bitcoin and into the new stock.
- The successful prediction of Cerebras Systems‘ debut by similar perp contracts has fueled interest in the SpaceX instrument.
- Open interest for the SPCX contract exceeds $240 million, indicating significant market attention ahead of the trading debut.
Bitcoin faces heightened volatility this week as the crypto market braces for capital shifts ahead of SpaceX’s blockbuster initial public offering. The IPO has created a looming price shock, with traders anticipating extreme market stress as billions rotate into the new stock.
Consequently, crypto traders are using a SpaceX-linked perpetual contract trading on Hyperliquid to bet on the outcome. This instrument, trading around $175, suggests a 30% first-day pop and a staggering $2.4 trillion valuation for Elon Musk‘s company.
However, this creates a direct competition for investment capital. “Today’s SpaceX IPO debut is going to be a stress test for crypto markets,” said Adam Morgan McCarthy of Lo:Tech. Analysts fear liquidity dislocations as money exits risk assets like crypto to secure SpaceX shares.
Meanwhile, interest in these predictive contracts surged after they correctly forecast Cerebras Systems‘ 68% debut surge in May. Pratik Kala of Apollo Crypto told Bloomberg the perp sets a high hurdle for new traders. The market now watches to see if the anticipated overhang is already priced in.
