- Tom Lee estimates the combined post‑lock‑up supply from SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic could total trillions of dollars, about 5‑6% of the S&P 500’s market cap.
- SpaceX is projected to seek a valuation above $1.5 trillion in its IPO, making it the second‑largest public offering ever after Saudi Aramco.
- Tom Lee expects early investors to hedge or borrow against their stakes rather than sell outright, reducing immediate sell‑pressure and tax events.
- Tom Lee highlights tokenization as a Wall Street growth area, noting blockchain enables instant settlement, 24/7 trading and borrowing against assets like real estate and art.
- Wall Street is betting on tokenization to unlock new revenue streams as crypto, AI and finance converge.
Why it matters: Family offices and pension funds stand to gain from the new equity inflow, while early investors avoid heavy tax hits; the market’s capacity to absorb 5‑6% of S&P 500 supply will keep valuations stable.
