Bitget’s IPO Prime will debut with preSPAX, a Republic-issued token tied to SpaceX’s post-IPO performance rather than direct ownership of the company’s shares. Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has launched IPO Prime, a proxy offering tied to the pre-initial public offering (IPO) phase of Elon Musk’s aerospace manufacturing and space transportation company, SpaceX. Bitget said Friday that IPO Prime will start with preSPAX, a Republic-issued token designed to give retail users economic exposure tied to SpaceX’s post-IPO performance. The exchange said the product does not give buyers direct ownership of SpaceX shares, and that SpaceX has not endorsed, approved or authorized the offering. The launch highlights how crypto exchanges are bringing more traditional investment products onto blockchain rails in a bid to attract users with round-the-clock access to assets that have historically been harder for retail investors to reach.

World Liberty said its WLFI unlock proposal will go through community input before a formal vote, outlining a phased vesting plan rather than a full token release. Decentralized finance (DeFi) platform World Liberty Financial said Friday it plans to put forward next week a governance proposal that would set a phased unlock schedule for WLFI tokens held by early retail purchasers. The Trump family-linked DeFi platform said the proposal will be opened for community input before proceeding to a formal vote. According to the project, the vote will not cover a full, immediate unlock, but instead a structured, long-term vesting plan designed to release tokens in stages.  WLFI tokens remain largely locked for early buyers, with transferability tied to governance-approved unlocks. Tokenomist data shows that about 24.67% of WLFI’s 100 billion token supply has been released, while roughly 75.33% remains locked or pending future unlock decisions. Read more
