Cryptocurrency exchange BingX has launched perpetual futures for SpaceX, giving its 40 million users exposure to the pre-IPO valuation of the aerospace giant. The move represents a significant step in tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) and bridging the gap between traditional private equity and the digital asset market.
"SpaceX is exactly the type of high-interest asset that users have historically been unable to access," said Pablo Monti, a spokesperson at BingX. "This launch not only expands our TradFi offerings, but also bridging the gap by unlocking access to high-growth private market opportunities."
The exchange rolled out two separate products: SPACEX (VNTL) on April 14, 2026, and SPACEX (PreStocks) on April 16, 2026. According to the announcement, the SPACEX (VNTL) contract saw strong initial interest, becoming the third-largest new TradFi asset on the platform by trading volume within its first 24 hours.
To drive adoption, BingX is launching a dedicated airdrop and staking campaign through its Xpool platform, which will become available from April 21, 2026. This initiative will offer structured rewards for new users and additional benefits for the exchange's VIP members. BingX, founded in 2018, is also a partner of Chelsea FC and Scuderia Ferrari HP, aiming to increase its brand visibility in the mainstream. The launch follows a broader industry trend of bringing traditional financial assets on-chain, with competitors like Coinbase and Binance also exploring RWA offerings.
