Seek guidance if necessary. - SpaceX (SPCX) is trading on the Nasdaq. It listed on 12 June 2026, priced at $135 and opening at $150, and it now behaves like any other US-listed share on Trading 212.
- The $135 offering price is not the price you pay. That allocation went to institutions and a small group of US brokers. A Trading 212 order fills at the current market price, which has been above $135 since listing.
- You buy it in the Invest account as a real share. Fractional orders start from €1, so you do not need the full share price.
- A newly listed megacap is volatile. A vast valuation on a company still posting losses, insider lock-ups that unlock over the coming months, and sharp price swings are all worth weighing before you commit.

SpaceX is now public. It started trading on the Nasdaq on 12 June 2026 under the ticker SPCX, after pricing its IPO at $135 a share. At around $86 billion raised it is the largest IPO in history, bigger than Saudi Aramco and Alibaba put together, and it now carries a valuation in the region of $2.3 trillion. It opened its first session at $150 and has traded above the $135 offering price since; the live price moves with the market, so check the current quote before placing an order.
For European investors there is one thing to understand before you do anything. That $135 is not the price you will pay. It goes to large institutions and a small group of US brokers. When you buy SPCX through a European broker such as Trading 212, one of Europe's largest brokers, you are buying on the open market at whatever price it is trading at, which can be above or below $135.
Below we go through how to buy it on Trading 212, what it costs, and the risks worth weighing before you put money into a freshly listed stock.
SpaceX (SPCX) at a glance
When investing, your capital is at risk and you may get back less than invested. Investing in shares on Trading 212 is commission-free. Other fees may apply. See terms and fees.
The basicsCan you buy SpaceX on Trading 212?
Yes. Since its first trading day on 12 June it behaves like any other US-listed share on Trading 212. You buy it in the Invest account, which means you own real shares, not a contract for difference. Trading 212 runs a dedicated SpaceX instrument page where you can trade it during US market hours.
One detail trips people up: Trading 212 did not receive an IPO allocation. The $135 shares went to underwriters and large asset managers, plus a small group of US brokers such as Schwab, Fidelity, Robinhood, SoFi and E*Trade. Your Trading 212 order is a normal secondary-market order, filled at the current market price during US trading hours, which is rarely the $135 figure.
Step by stepHow to buy SpaceX on Trading 212, step by step
What it costs
Investing in shares on Trading 212 is commission-free, and there is no custody fee. Other fees may apply. See terms and fees. Because SPCX is priced in US dollars and your account is in euros, a 0,15% FX fee applies when converting funds each time you buy or sell. Other fees may apply. You can invest from as little as €1 using fractional shares, so you do not need the full price of one share to take part.
The risks worth weighing
A listing this size carries real risk alongside the attention. The main ones to weigh:
- The price is not anchored to $135. It is set by supply and demand, and SPCX has traded well above the offering price since listing. You could pay a meaningful premium to the headline number.
- A newly listed stock is volatile. Fresh listings often see sharp swings and trading halts, and many later trade below their early lows.
- A vast valuation on a company still losing money. SpaceX listed at a valuation of around $2.3 trillion on 2025 revenue of about $18.7 billion and an operating loss. Only about 4% of the shares were floated, and insiders are locked up for around 180 days.
- Platform load on a busy open. Trading 212 has had outages on extreme-demand days before. Funding and verifying your account in advance is safer than trying to place the order in the first frantic minutes. It is also worth knowing how your money is held with Trading 212.

If you would rather not buy right away
You do not have to buy right now. Some investors wait for the price to settle into a range over the following weeks. Others prefer broad exposure to a single volatile stock, through ETFs or an S&P 500 index fund, or build a position gradually using dollar-cost averaging rather than committing a lump sum all at once.
