Summary
ProShares announced on June 9, 2026, its intention to launch the ProShares Ultra SpaceX ETF (SPCF) on June 12, 2026—coinciding precisely with SpaceX's initial public offering. The fund will target 2x daily returns of SpaceX common stock, structured as a leveraged single-stock ETF. According to ProShares CEO Michael L. Sapir, "SPCF intends to offer investors a way to magnify a bullish view on SpaceX without borrowing on margin on the day of SpaceX's IPO. Investors will be able to target 2x daily returns of SpaceX with the convenience and transparency of an ETF."
SpaceX is preparing for a historic capital raise. The aerospace and connectivity company is targeting $75 billion in IPO proceeds, which would value the enterprise at $1.75 trillion—marking the largest IPO valuation in history. The company plans to list under ticker symbol SPCX on the Nasdaq, with roadshow activities scheduled to begin June 8. SpaceX has established itself as a foundational player in global connectivity, artificial intelligence infrastructure, and the broader space economy, positioning it as a significant addition to public markets.
SPCF represents ProShares' strategic entry into single-stock leveraged ETF investing at a critical moment. The fund joins ProShares' existing single-stock ETF lineup, which already includes 2x daily return targets for Tesla, NVIDIA, Palantir, Coinbase, and Circle. By launching on IPO day itself, the product captures immediate demand from investors seeking amplified exposure during what is likely to be elevated trading activity and volatility. The ETF structure offers regulatory clarity and intraday tradability compared to alternative leveraged vehicles, enabling investors to take profits or adjust positions throughout the trading session.
ProShares operates as the world's leading provider of geared (leveraged and inverse) ETFs, managing over $118 billion in assets across a suite of 115+ funds spanning equities, fixed income, commodities, currencies, cryptocurrencies, and volatility strategies. The firm has been instrumental in democratizing sophisticated investment strategies since its founding in 2006. The SPCF launch underscores institutional and retail demand for structured products tied to high-profile corporate debuts, particularly when those debuts signal entry into an emerging or strategic economic sector.
