Approximately $203 million in short orders betting on tokenized SpaceX stock

A giant whale placed a limit short sale order of approximately $203 million on the tokenized aerospace company SpaceX stock SPCX, with a price range of $141.93 to $142.9, betting on a price decline of the token.

At the beginning of August, the two-day trading volume of SPCX on the tokenized trading platform Gate reached about $700 million, with a single-day transaction of $332 million on August 4, as the market traded around the 911.5 million shares that were unlocked on August 6. After the unlocking, SPCX rose by 6.1%, closing at $114.92.

Documents from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) show that Elon Musk holds a 48.4% beneficial interest in SpaceX, corresponding to over 6.4 billion shares, valued at over $900 billion at current prices; the related Class B shares give him over 82% of the total voting rights in SpaceX.
