SpaceX IPO pulling liquidity? Bitcoin ETF sees a counter trend net inflow of $86 million
📍 Background
On June 12, two major events hit the global financial scene: first, SpaceX launched its IPO on NASDAQ (ticker SPCX) with a financing amount of $75 billion, setting the record for the largest IPO in human history; second, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net inflow of $85.9 million on the same day, ending a previous five-day streak of capital outflow.
According to SoSoValue data, BlackRock's IBIT attracted $57.7 million in one day, accounting for 67% of the total inflow, making it the biggest buyer. Standard Chartered's global crypto research head, Geoffrey Kendrick, pointed out that the earlier ETF sell-offs might partly stem from holders cashing out to participate in the SpaceX IPO.
📋 Key Data Breakdown
SpaceX IPO: priced at $135 per share, raising $75 billion, with a first-day valuation of approximately $1.77 trillion, making Musk the world's first trillionaire.
Bitcoin ETF: net inflow of $85.9 million (around 1,350 BTC) on that day, but a cumulative net outflow of $3 billion over the first six months of 2026, and a total net outflow of $7.6 billion since last October.
Strategy Holdings: Michael Saylor's Strategy holds over 800,000 BTC, making it the largest corporate holder, and resumed buying in early June.
🔑 Core Logic
The liquidity pull effect from the SpaceX IPO was initially viewed by the market as a bearish factor for BTC—substantial funds shifting from crypto to traditional markets. However, the ETF managed to achieve a net inflow on the day of the IPO, indicating that institutional allocation demand has not been interrupted by SpaceX. Once the liquidity shock from the IPO dissipates, the previously suppressed BTC allocation demand may be released in a concentrated manner.
💡 Impact on the Crypto Market
First, BlackRock's continued buying proves that institutional logic for long-term BTC allocation remains unchanged. Second, Strategy's resumption of buying signals confidence from the corporate side. Third, following the SpaceX listing, BTC is currently ranked 17th in global asset rankings, while SPCX has jumped to 9th, indicating a shift in traditional capital's attention towards digital assets.
