SpaceX Options Debut Sparks Early-Trading Surge, Eyes Top Slack of Big Tech
SpaceX began trading its IPO on June 12, 2026, and its options quickly surged to become the third-most traded single-stock contract in the first 30 minutes, behind Tesla and Nvidia. ThinkOrSwim data show over 300,000 SpaceX options traded and more than $400 million in premiums, with the majority in calls (over $300 million). Tom Sosnoff, a veteran options trader, says SpaceX could eventually top TSLA and NVDA in liquidity once it settles in. Implied volatility was around 135, and experts caution that initial pricing may be rich and markets wide until pricing normalizes.
