3 prediction markets price this story:
- Yes — the market puts it at 37%, with $7 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if SpaceX announces an agreement to acquire a major U.S. telecom business before January 1, 2028. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked story about a Starship launch for the actual resolution condition.
- Will SpaceX have the highest IPO Market Cap 2026? — the market puts it at 67%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if SpaceX completes an IPO in 2026 and its market capitalization exceeds that of any other company with a 2026 IPO on its first trading day. The No outcome applies if another company achieves the highest market cap, or if SpaceX does not complete an IPO within the year.
- SpaceX becomes a US mobile carrier by June 30, 2027? — the market puts it at 13%, with $40 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jul 2027. For the outcome to be Yes, the general public must be able to purchase and activate a U.S. mobile phone plan with voice, text, and data services from SpaceX or its controlled entities by June 30, 2027. The service must allow direct access without requiring third-party internet applications for core functions like calling or texting.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
