As global capital markets continue to evolve, more investors are turning their attention to pre-IPO investment opportunities. However, traditional IPO subscriptions often come with high barriers to entry and complex procedures, making it difficult for the average investor to participate. To open access to the pre-IPO market for a broader audience, Gate has launched its new IPO Access service. This streamlined subscription mechanism and integrated trading process bridge the gap between pre-IPO allocation and post-listing trading. The inaugural SpaceX project gives the market a glimpse into how digital financial platforms can further connect global capital markets with innovative investment opportunities.
Gate Launches IPO Access Service
In recent years, a growing number of investors have shown interest in pre-IPO investment opportunities. Yet, the high thresholds and complex procedures of traditional IPO subscriptions often prevent ordinary investors from direct participation. To further expand investment scenarios, Gate has officially introduced its new IPO Access service, giving users the chance to submit subscription applications before companies go public and access pre-IPO markets that were previously hard to reach.
Through this service, Gate not only connects the pre-IPO subscription and post-listing trading process but also further integrates the crypto asset ecosystem with traditional capital markets, offering a more diverse range of investment options.

What Is Gate IPO Access?
IPO Access is Gate’s pre-IPO stock subscription service. When the platform opens an IPO project for a specific company, users can use USDT to submit their subscription requests during the application window and wait for the final allocation results. If successfully allocated, the corresponding shares are credited directly to the user’s Gate stock account—no extra transfers or asset conversions required. Once trading opens, users can buy and sell these shares directly through the Gate stock market, completing the full cycle from subscription to trading. For investors looking to get in early on potential high-growth companies, this service offers a more convenient entry point and lowers the barriers to accessing the IPO market.
SpaceX Becomes the First IPO Access Project
The first company available for subscription through IPO Access is SpaceX. Founded by Elon Musk in 2002, SpaceX is one of the world’s most prominent commercial aerospace companies. Over the years, SpaceX has driven advancements in reusable rocket technology and expanded global communications through the Starlink satellite network initiative, earning significant attention in both the aerospace and tech sectors.
With this IPO Access offering, users can submit subscription applications before SpaceX officially enters the public market, competing for a chance to receive share allocations. If the shares are eventually listed, they will be directly included in the Gate stock trading section.
SpaceX Subscription Plan and Participation Requirements
The SpaceX IPO Access uses USDT as the subscription currency, with a reference price of $135 per share. The actual issue price will be adjusted according to the final IPO pricing. Successful participants will pay a 5% subscription fee. Based on the reference price, the total cost per share is approximately 141.75 USDT, but the final amount will depend on the actual issue price.
For participation, the minimum investment is 100 USDT and the maximum is 500,000 USDT. Once the allocation is complete, shares are credited directly to the user’s stock account with no lock-up period. All shares are available for immediate use and trading upon arrival. Please note: to use Gate stock features, you must update the app to version v8.21.5 or later.
Subscription and Trading Timeline
The SpaceX IPO Access schedule is as follows: Subscription applications can be submitted from June 9, 2026, 10:00 UTC to June 12, 2026, 04:00 UTC.
Shares are expected to be distributed between June 12, 2026, 14:00 and 15:00 UTC, though the actual credit time may vary depending on settlement procedures.
Stock trading is scheduled to open at 13:30 UTC on June 12, 2026.
How to Improve Your Allocation Chances
IPO Access does not allocate shares solely based on the amount of funds committed. Instead, it uses the average locked amount as the main calculation metric. The system takes hourly snapshots of each user’s locked funds throughout the subscription period, calculates the average holding, and then allocates shares according to each user’s proportion of the total average subscription amount.
Because the allocation is based on the average over the entire period, users who complete their subscriptions early and maintain locked funds typically receive higher allocation weights. In other words, for the same investment amount, early participants have a relative advantage.
Allocation Results and Fund Return Policy
IPO Access uses an intent-based subscription model. Submitting an application does not guarantee a share allocation. Final results may include full allocation, partial allocation, or no allocation at all, depending on the IPO’s total issuance, the platform’s allocation quota, and other factors.
During the subscription period, funds are frozen and cannot be withdrawn, transferred, or traded. After the allocation is finalized, the system deducts the funds required for the allocated shares, and any unused funds are automatically returned to the spot account. If the final IPO price differs from the reference price by more than 20%, the platform will initiate an additional confirmation process, allowing users to reconfirm their participation.
What Do You Need to Prepare Before Participating?
Before joining IPO Access, users must complete Gate’s KYC identity verification. This event does not accept borrowed funds, nor does it support institutional or sub-account applications. Since IPO investments involve market volatility, liquidity risks, and regulatory considerations, users should fully understand the project background and potential risks, and make decisions based on their investment goals and risk tolerance.
Gate IPO Access Delivers a Complete Investment Experience
With the official launch of IPO Access, Gate’s investment offerings now extend from crypto assets to pre-IPO equities. The debut SpaceX project not only brings a highly anticipated aerospace technology investment opportunity to the market but also demonstrates Gate’s ongoing commitment to connecting digital assets with global capital markets.

Summary
With the launch of Gate’s IPO Access service, users can now access more pre-IPO investment opportunities and complete subscription, allocation, and subsequent stock trading all on a single platform for a smoother investment experience. The first SpaceX project offers a sought-after pre-listing participation opportunity and showcases Gate’s commitment to bridging traditional finance and digital assets.
