BlockBeats news: On June 14, SpaceX’s landmark Nasdaq listing proceeded smoothly, easing concerns on Wall Street and setting a new template for traders and exchanges in anticipation of the massive IPOs of OpenAI and Anthropic later this year.

SpaceX’s record-breaking IPO on Friday was nearly three times the size of the largest IPO previously listed on U.S. exchanges, yet the trading systems of underwriters, exchanges, market makers, and other institutions withstood the surge of millions of customer orders. In contrast to Facebook’s disastrous debut in 2012, when technical issues left investors and brokers stranded for hours, Morgan Stanley, serving as the “stabilizing agent,” played a pivotal role in managing the opening process this time.

Citadel Securities stated that SpaceX's IPO generated the highest retail order activity in an IPO auction ever. Nasdaq CEO Friedman said that collaboration among all parties was excellent, preparations were thorough, and the trading went "flawlessly."
