Three onchain markets are already pricing SpaceX

Alpha is MetaMask's weekly market report—context, data, and signal. 

SpaceX prices at $135 Thursday and lists Friday under SPCX. The pre-IPO perp on Hyperliquid is already trading at $162—20% higher. Meanwhile CPI, PPI, and the ECB all printed this week: Warsh walks into FOMC with the full stagflation picture.

TL;DR:

• The largest IPO in history prices Thursday and lists Friday—SpaceX's $135/share anchors three simultaneous onchain markets: perps, tokenized equity, and prediction markets

• May CPI confirmed 4.2% YoY; May PPI printed +1.1% MoM (hottest wholesale reading since 2022); ECB hiked 25bps

• FIFA World Cup opens this week with $1.84B+ in Polymarket volume; Brazil vs. Argentina kicks off Friday alongside SPCX's first Nasdaq trade

The Number: $135 for a share of SpaceX

SpaceX's fixed IPO price for Friday's Nasdaq debut under ticker SPCX, values the company at roughly $1.77 trillion, the largest IPO on record. The pre-IPO perp on Hyperliquid—accessible through MetaMask Perps—is trading around $162, roughly 20% above the IPO price, with $215M in open interest across all venues and Polymarket at 87% odds of a $1.75–2.0T closing valuation. Friday tells us which market called it.

Alpha Bites: Stagflation and soccer (football)

May CPI confirmed costs up 4.2% YoY with core at 0.2% MoM, a slight beat. The same day, May PPI printed +1.1% MoM (vs 0.7% expected), +6.5% YoY, the hottest wholesale reading since November 2022. BTC has recovered to around $63,000 after touching lows near $61,000, though ETF AUM has fallen from $104B to $77.58B over 13 consecutive outflow days.

FIFA World Cup opened this week with $1.84B+ in Polymarket volume across 450 markets. Spain and France lead at 16% each, ahead of England (11%) and Brazil/Argentina (10%). World Cup markets are accessible through MetaMask.

FOMC meets June 16–17, Warsh's first decision as Fed Chair. With CPI at 4.2% and PPI confirming the wholesale-price surge, CME FedWatch stands at 70% odds of a December rate hike. The ECB's 25bps hike Thursday means no liquidity relief from Frankfurt; Warsh inherits a stagflationary backdrop.

The Setup: SPCX and more soccer

Friday, June 12

• SpaceX (SPCX) first Nasdaq trade — The pre-IPO perp auto-converts to a standard SPCX perp at listing; no forced close, positions carry through. Tokenized SPCX via Ondo expected on MetaMask Swaps same day. Polymarket's closing market cap markets resolve at session end.

• Brazil vs Argentina — The World Cup's marquee group stage opener.

Looking ahead to the week of June 16:

• FOMC meets Tuesday–Wednesday with hot CPI, the hottest PPI since 2022, and the ECB's surprise hike all in the data frame. 

The Big Story: SpaceX's IPO and three onchain markets pricing it

SpaceX prices Thursday and lists Friday. Price discovery has already been running for weeks onchain.

The pre-IPO perp on Hyperliquid, accessible through MetaMask Perps, is trading around $162—roughly 20% above the $135 IPO price—with $215 million in open interest across all venues and $2.2 billion in cumulative volume. On Polymarket, over $33 million has traded across SpaceX outcome markets. Tokenized SPCX via Ondo Global Markets is expected on MetaMask Swaps within hours of Friday's Nasdaq open. Three onchain markets. One underlying company. One reference price.
