Bybit, a cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the launch of Bybit IPO Express, to offer tokenised initial public offerings (IPOs) at the offering price.
Run by Payward Services' xStocks, eligible retail investors worldwide can participate in IPO projects by subscribing to tokenised representations of publicly traded equities, starting with SpaceX as the inaugural offering.
By bringing broader investor interest, liquidity, and the underlying assets onchain, compliant tokenisation solutions by xStocks enable IPO access at scale for global investors through platforms like Bybit.
Through xStocks' regulated blockchain-agnostic framework built for onchain interoperability, holders of tokenised listed stocks can access extended trading hours, DeFi composability and flexibility, and crypto-native settlement.
For Bybit customers, it is the first time cryptocurrency exchange users can purchase shares at IPO pricing outside of the competitive secondary market, with the platform designed to provide users with streamlined access to primary market opportunities that have been concentrated among institutional investors, private banking clients, and select brokerage networks in the past.
SpaceX is the first major IPO available for users through the Bybit IPO Express framework.
Emily Bao, head of Spot at Bybit, notes: “Being one of the first two centralised exchanges to bring compliant tokenised SpaceX IPO access at the offering price is exactly the kind of milestone that defines our next chapter.”
She continues: “Through our partnership with xStocks, Bybit customers around the world can now invest directly in US-listed IPOs alongside their crypto assets, on equal footing with institutional investors.”
