Analysis
The market prices SpaceX's failure to IPO by end-2026 at just 6%, implying 94% confidence in a successful offering within 259 days, though this seems optimistic given SpaceX's historical reluctance and Elon Musk's stated preference to avoid public markets. The extreme implied yield of 2210.6% on the "Yes" side reflects severe mispricing or tail-risk hedging, with realized volatility at 1263% and a vol ratio of 2.96 suggesting significant uncertainty despite the low price. Low 24-hour volume of $28.5K against $5.3M open interest indicates illiquidity that could amplify price swings if sentiment shifts around any IPO announcements or delays.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve based on the calendar month (ET) in 2026 in which SpaceX’s initial public offering (IPO) occurs. If no IPO occurs by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "No IPO before 2027". Announcements, filings, or scheduling of an IPO will not suffice; this market will resolve after public trading has begun. Resolution will be based on information from the primary exchange.
