June 15, 2026 — Three days after SpaceX's Nasdaq debut, Binance, Bybit, Bitget, and MEXC confirmed they canceled their tokenized SPCX campaigns and are refunding users after xStocks — Kraken's tokenized equities unit — failed to source the underlying shares. The cancellations were announced June 13. Binance alone had collected $557 million in USDC from 27,689 wallet addresses by the time campaigns closed.

SpaceX (Nasdaq: SPCX) began trading June 12, pricing at $135 per share, opening at $150, and closing its first session at $161.11, up 19% from its offer price. The company raised $75 billion and valued itself at more than $2 trillion. Its S-1 amendment, filed June 3, disclosed 18,712 BTC on its balance sheet — a figure crypto markets tracked closely ahead of the IPO.

Demand for tokenized exposure ran well above what the market could fill. xStocks gathered more than $1 billion in orders for SPCX tokens; CoinDesk reported retail demand for the IPO exceeded $100 billion. Across the broader offering, it was more than four times oversubscribed. The exchanges pre-sold tokenized exposure before confirming allocation. No allocation came.

Bybit stated the cause plainly: "Due to xStocks' inability to deliver the underlying assets, no SpaceX allocations were received." Binance called the failure "circumstances outside of our control." Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet, said: "It was disappointing that the offering ultimately fell through. Refund procedures are now under way."

Compensation differed by exchange. Bybit issued a 10% APR reward over four days to affected users. Binance refunded all deposits and airdropped $1 million in bStocks SpaceX tokens (ticker: SPCXB). Bitget Wallet refunded in full, added a $10 gas fee voucher, and gave eligible users whitelist access for future tokenized equity launches.

The structural problem is straightforward: the blockchain settlement layer works; the upstream intermediary must still source physical shares in a market that had already exhausted its allocation. Four times oversubscribed in traditional channels leaves nothing for tokenized claims built on top. xStocks accumulated more than $1 billion in orders against a share pool it never reached.

Four exchanges. Hundreds of millions in user funds. Zero allocations. The blockchain part worked. The share-sourcing did not.
