1. SPCXx and xStocks Basics
1.1 What is SPCXx?
SPCXx is the tokenized stock product ticker corresponding to SpaceX during its initial public offering stage. Users may submit subscription interest before SpaceX goes public at an offering price that includes an approximately 5% spread. After allocation, users will receive the corresponding amount of SPCXx tokenized stocks.
1.2 Why consider participating in SPCXx?
Participating in SPCXx subscription allows users to gain exposure to SpaceX-related investment opportunities before any potential public listing. Key advantages include:
- Early access to a high-profile asset: As a leading commercial space company, SpaceX has strong market attention and growth potential. SPCXx gives users an opportunity to participate before any potential public listing.
- Lower entry barrier: Traditional IPO allocations are often available only to institutional investors and selected clients. Through tokenization, SPCXx makes issue-price participation more accessible to eligible users.
- No traditional securities account required: Users can complete subscription and trading through their crypto account without opening a traditional brokerage account.
- Flexible 24/7 trading: After SPCXx is listed for trading, it generally supports 24/7 trading, offering greater flexibility than traditional stock market hours.
- Transparent fund handling: During the subscription period, funds are reserved and frozen rather than deducted immediately. Any unallocated amount will be automatically released or refunded according to the event rules.
Please note that SPCXx is a high-risk investment product and its price may fluctuate significantly. Users should fully understand the risks and make rational decisions based on their own risk tolerance.
1.3 What are xStocks?
xStocks are tokenized stock products. Each token is backed 1:1 by the underlying stock held in custody by regulated entities, so the token value tracks the price performance of the underlying asset. xStocks allow users to gain price exposure to the target company's stock without opening a traditional securities account.
There are several key points to understand about xStocks:
- Price exposure only: xStocks do not represent direct legal or beneficial ownership of the underlying asset.
- No shareholder rights: Holders do not enjoy voting rights or dividend rights.
- Self-custody supported: xStocks can be freely transferred between different wallets.
- Around-the-clock trading: xStocks support 24/7 trading. In certain regions, trading hours are 24/5.
1.4 Does holding SPCXx mean I am holding SpaceX stock?
No. SPCXx only provides tokenized economic exposure to the price performance of SpaceX stock. Holders do not enjoy any shareholder rights, including voting rights, dividend rights, or other shareholder claims. Its legal nature may vary across jurisdictions and does not mean it has been registered or approved as a security by any regulatory authority.
1.5 Is SpaceX involved in this subscription event?
No. SpaceX is not involved in this subscription event. This product is operated entirely by the MEXC platform in cooperation with a compliant issuer, and the funds raised will not flow directly to SpaceX.

3. SPCXx Token Allocation Mechanism
3.1 How is SPCXx allocation determined?
Allocation results are determined by the underwriter, while the platform only assists users in completing the subscription process. The underwriter may allocate based on proportional, random, tiered, or relationship-based methods. As a result, users may receive:
- Full allocation: the full subscription amount is allocated.
- Partial allocation: only part of the subscription amount is successfully allocated.
- No allocation: none of the subscription amount is allocated.
3.2 Why did I receive fewer tokens than expected?
This may happen for the following reasons:
- Overall subscription demand was high, and the underwriter reduced allocations proportionally.
- The final offering price was higher than the expected price, resulting in a smaller allocated quantity.
3.3 How is the final offering price confirmed?
The final offering price has been determined. Please refer to the product page for the exact price.

SPCXx can be traded normally after trading opens on the listing day. There is typically no lock-up period, and users may freely sell or continue holding from the first day.
