Blockchain.com launches SpaceX-linked perpetual amid pre-IPO trading boom
Blockchain.com has introduced 24/7 perpetual trading for institutional clients through its OTC desk, expanding access beyond crypto into stocks, indices, commodities, FX, and pre-IPO names. A SpaceX-linked perpetual contract is already live, giving eligible investors exposure to the company’s expected public listing. The service is aimed at institutions that need continuous trading and hedging on weekends and outside normal market hours, including options desks, macro funds, and investors targeting anticipated IPOs. The move follows Blockchain.com’s earlier launch of perpetual futures in its self-custody wallet and comes as pre-IPO trading becomes a major crypto battleground, with Binance, Kraken, Bybit, and Coinbase also rolling out SpaceX-linked or tokenized IPO products.
