SpaceX IPO demand crunch shows why tokenized shares still need real stock access
Binance Wallet, Bybit and Bitget canceled SpaceX pre-IPO tokenized-share offers on Friday and issued refunds after xStocks could not obtain the underlying shares. Retail demand reportedly overwhelmed available allocations, with Bloomberg citing over $100 billion in retail orders and xStocks partners said to have collected more than $1 billion in customer interest. The episode highlighted that token issuance can function as designed, but sourcing and holding the real shares within required frameworks can still be the limiting factor.
