SpaceX Just Listed. OpenAI Is Next. The Biggest IPO Wave Since 2021 Is Here — Are You Ready?"
The IPO desert just ended. And what's coming next makes SpaceX look like a warm-up.
The market for IPOs has struggled since 2021, when 397 offerings raised $142.4 billion. In 2026, just 71 IPOs raised $35.7 billion before SpaceX. Now a string of highly anticipated offerings is signaling renewed excitement. CoinDesk
SpaceX opened the gate. Here's who's walking through it.
OpenAI filed a confidential S-1 at an $852 billion valuation. Stripe is widely expected to follow. Anthropic at $965 billion is watching market conditions. Starlink as a standalone spin-off from SpaceX is already being discussed.
If even two of those list in 2026, we are looking at potentially $3–4 trillion in new public market cap in a single year.
What does this mean for crypto? Two things.
First — competition for capital. Every dollar that goes into OpenAI's IPO is a dollar not going into Bitcoin ETFs. This dynamic is already visible in the $4.4 billion ETF outflow streak we just lived through.
Second — tokenized access. The SPCX-USDC perpetual on Hyperliquid was trading at $172, with $322.5 million in 24-hour volume and open interest climbing to $293 million. Crypto is becoming the fastest route to access pre-IPO and IPO-day price action. Bitcoin Foundation
The IPO wave and the crypto world are converging faster than most people realize. 🔥
