SpaceX Stock Under Pressure

The new contract arrives as SpaceX (Nasdaq: SPCX) trades well below its post-IPO highs. The company debuted on the Nasdaq in June 2026, opening at $150 per share after pricing its IPO at $135. Shares briefly surged to an intraday high of $225.64 before selling off sharply. By early July, the stock hit an all-time low of $145.20, dipping below its opening-day price.

Binance had previously launched a SPCXUSDT pre-IPO perpetual contract ahead of SpaceX’s listing, which quickly became the exchange’s second-most-traded product behind Bitcoin perpetuals, surpassing $9 billion in trading volume within days of SpaceX’s public debut. Ttradingview Ccryptonomist

Stablecoin Settlement Marks Expansion

The shift to USD1 settlement represents a broadening of Binance’s stablecoin strategy. The contract does not represent ownership of the underlying shares but allows traders to speculate on SpaceX’s share price movements. Binance noted that contract specifications may be adjusted based on market risk conditions, and that users in the European Economic Area may face restrictions when trading with certain stablecoins due to MiCA regulations.
