Options trading surges in SpaceX-related stocks ahead of its $1.75T IPO debut Friday

Ahead of SpaceX's historic $1.75 trillion IPO debut, options trading volumes have surged in stocks linked to SpaceX, such as EchoStar and AST SpaceMobile. Investors are buying call options as a proxy to gain exposure to SpaceX, driving significant price jumps in these companies. This trend is fueled by both retail and institutional demand, as well as increased buying in space-focused ETFs holding these stocks. The IPO, priced at $135 per share, is expected to generate massive options interest starting Tuesday, reflecting high volatility and strong public enthusiasm.
