Proshares Plans 2X Spacex Etf Launch On Day Of Record Ipo

What Happened

Exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer ProShares has announced plans to launch the Ultra SpaceX ETF (SPCF) on June 12.

The product targets 2x the daily returns of SpaceX. The launch will coincide with the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history.

“Investors will be able to target 2x daily returns of SpaceX with the convenience and transparency of an ETF,” Sapir said.

Meanwhile, Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Management, called the same-day leveraged launch an early signal of how “wild SpaceX IPO could be.”

Investor demand for the offering has been substantial. According to Reuters, the deal has attracted more than $250 billion in orders against a $75 billion target.

Market Context

That leaves the offering oversubscribed by roughly 3.5 to 4 times the planned size. Such strong interest signals confidence in the company ahead of its market debut.

Moreover, the sale ranks as the largest IPO on record by capital raised. The timeline is now compressed. Books are scheduled to close on Wednesday, with pricing to follow on June 11. Finally, SPCX is set to begin trading on the Nasdaq on June 12.

Details

CEO Michael Sapir said the fund gives traders “a way to magnify a bullish view on SpaceX” without borrowing on margin on IPO day.

“Will be other ETF issuers jumping in here as well,” he added.
