Bitcoin (BTC) and the wider cryptocurrency market could face additional selling pressure this week as Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX gears up for a $75 billion initial public offering (IPO), with the event expected to drain some of the liquidity that has supported the market\u2019s leading crypto above $60,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Analysts Warn Crypto Could Feel The Hit<\/h2>\n

According <\/a>to Reuters, the rocket maker has reserved as much as 30% of the initial public offering, or $22.5 billion worth of shares, specifically for retail investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Analysts and crypto executives cited in the report said this setup can encourage a shift in how investors manage their cash, effectively rotating funds away from higher-risk assets such as Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spencer Hallarn, global head of over-the-counter trading at GSR, a crypto trading firm and liquidity provider, put it plainly: \u201cCrypto is a funding currency for a lot of this,\u201d adding that the IPO requires $75 billion that \u201chas got to come from somewhere.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He argued that an IPO tied to \u201cone of the biggest names in tech\u201d would be likely to pull capital out of crypto<\/a>, at least at the start, because both markets compete for the same kind of speculative spending.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thomas Puech, CEO of INDIGO, another crypto trading firm, offered a similar view, stating that AI has become the \u201csexier\u201d trade compared with Bitcoin and crypto, and that investor attention is leaning toward AI-related opportunities rather than crypto.<\/p>\n

Market analysts also highlighted that Bitcoin itself has lost some of its appeal for investors, which may compound the effect of the SpaceX story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation, said in a research note that \u201cBitcoin has lost its luster and novelty for many investors,\u201d and that the hype around SpaceX<\/a> is not helping.\u00a0<\/p>\n

IPO Pipeline And Rate-Fear Cloud Bitcoin Outlook<\/h2>\n

According to Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks, which provides the index for several crypto exchange-traded funds<\/a> (ETFs), outflows from these funds surged to more than $2 billion in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This has already taken its toll on Bitcoin and the wider crypto market, with BTC currently trading at around $62,136 \u2014 about 50% below its all-time high of $126,000, according to CoinGecko data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chung said the money leaving crypto is likely going toward equities, though he cautioned that it cannot be assumed it will flow directly into SpaceX. Still, he indicated that at least some of the capital is being redirected into the broader equity market.<\/p>\n

With additional high-profile IPOs expected later and more cautious expectations building around interest rates<\/a>, the report argues that crypto may struggle to recover quickly. Hallarn suggested it is difficult to see meaningful tailwinds soon, adding that the environment does not look particularly supportive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
