SpaceX IPOs hot trade: NASA ETFs two-month, $2.6 billion liftoff

Retail investors are rushing into the space investing trade ahead of the SpaceX IPO, and one ETF has cashed in on the excitement.  Tema ETFs Space Innovators ETF, which launched on March 30 and trades under the ticker symbol , crossed $1 billion in assets in just 37 trading days, and by the end of this past trading week, had reached over $2.6 billion in assets.  That rapid rise is due in part to retail investors hunting for exposure to SpaceX before it goes public.  While SpaceX has taken an unusual approach to its offering, setting up access for retail investors through brokerage firms at a level atypical in new deals typically dominated by institutions, the NASA fund is another alternative for investors to gain access to Elon Musks rocket company. It already holds privately traded SpaceX shares directly. It is one of the few investment vehicles available to retail investors that does, with SpaceX currently representing around 7.5% of the fund.  “If we‘re going to invest in space … We have to offer exposure to SpaceX,” said Maurits Pot, Tema ETFs founder and CEO on CNBC’s “ETF Edge” on Wednesday.  Pot said there is no plan to sell shares once the IPO occurs. “The

IPO Genie Opens A New Path To Pre IPO Opportunities For Retail Buyers

Pre-IPO deals have always had a cover charge most retail investors cannot afford. The standard entry sits at $250,000 or more. Capital locks for years. And the list of who gets in is rarely public. IPO Genie is built around that exact problem.  The platform opens pre-IPO crypto access to retail buyers starting at $10. This article looks at how it works and what the 2026 entry window actually looks like.  What IPO Genie Actually Does   IPO Genie uses an AI engine to identify pre-IPO companies before they list publicly. The output is called a Vault signal.  Vault 1 identified Redwood AI Corp. before its February 6, 2026 listing. That timestamp is publicly verifiable. It is the only completed signal on record right now.  The next AI signal campaign is held for the IPO Genie community to participate in the contest to win a $10,000 $IPO token prize. It has not been completed yet. They have revealed that it has 3 tickers. For more information visit the IPO Genie Vault,  There is only one verified call. That does not make a track record.

Russia Bans Crypto Advertising: New 2026 Regulations for Bitcoin and Digital Assets

The Russian financial regulatory landscape is undergoing a significant transformation in mid-2026.   As part of a broader government initiative to tighten control over digital assets, authorities are preparing to introduce a blanket ban on mentioning specific cryptocurrency names — such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana — in advertising materials.  The Proposed Ban  According to  recent reports from the Bank of Russia and the Ministry of Finance, the upcoming legislative amendments, expected to be integrated into the governments comprehensive crypto-regulation bill, will prohibit the use of specific digital currency names in promotional clips, articles, and public advertisements.  The Central Bank of Russia argues that cryptocurrencies are “excessively volatile” assets. By prohibiting the use of specific brand names in advertising, the regulator aims to prevent the mass-market popularization of individual tokens, which they believe poses significant financial risks to retail investors.  The restriction will likely extend beyond just “Bitcoin” to include any token name, aiming to sanitize public promotional spaces of direct calls to invest in specific digital assets.  The “Cooling-Off” Context  This initiative is part of a larger regulatory package that introduces a “cooling-off period” for investors. Under new rules, digital depositories will be required to pause transactions when investors attempt to withdraw crypto assets, aiming to prevent

MiCA Decoded: Offshore Corporate Structures With MiCA Licensing: What Nobody Thought Possible

MiCA Decoded is a 12-article weekly series for News, co-authored by LegalBisons Co-Founding and Managing Directors: Aaron Glauberman, Viktor Juskin and Sabir Alijev. LegalBison advises and FinTech companies on MiCA licensing, CASP and VASP applications, and regulatory structuring across Europe and beyond.  Early in 2025, a founder spent six months dismantling their British Virgin Islands group structure, moving IP, redomiciling the treasury, and incorporating a new parent in Ireland. Their lawyers had told them MiCA meant Europe. If you wanted to operate in the EU, you needed a European company. Full stop.  They launched in early 2026, fully licensed, fully relocated, and fully European. Then they looked at the ESMA public register.  Bybit‘s global parent is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and headquartered in Dubai. Bybit EU GmbH, its Austrian subsidiary, holds the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license. OKX’s Seychelles entity sits at the top of a structure whose Maltese subsidiary, OKX Europe Limited, was authorized by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). .com runs global operations through Singapore, while its EU-facing entity, Foris DAX MT Limited, is a licensed Maltese crypto-asset service provider.  None of these groups relocated. All of them are MiCA-compliant. And the ESMA register shows that token issuers
