SpaceX IPO Drives Record Tokenized Stock Trading, June On-Chain Volume Reaches $3.86 Billion

According to Odaily, driven by the hype surrounding SpaceX’s initial public offering (IPO), the tokenized stock market hit a record high for trading activity in June, with on-chain transaction volume reaching $3.86 billion, a 145% increase from May. Among the trades, tokenized SpaceX stocks accounted for $1.19 billion, representing approximately 31% of the total tokenized stock volume in June. The SPCX token launched by Backpack Securities became the most actively traded tokenized SpaceX stock product, with a single-month on-chain trading volume of $1.08 billion.Data indicates that this growth surge was primarily fueled by demand for SpaceX-related assets. Previously, SpaceX completed a $75 billion IPO, marking the largest IPO in history, and the company is valued at approximately $1.8 trillion on a fully diluted basis. Traditional popular assets such as Nvidia, Tesla, the S&P 500 ETF (SPY), and the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) remained actively traded, but none matched the market heat of tokenized SpaceX stocks. Additionally, the total market capitalization of the tokenized stock market rose to $1.53 billion in June, up 6.64% from the previous month, marking the 15th consecutive month of growth. (CoinDesk)
