What users will get after the cancellation

Binance has announced that all USDC locked by users participating in the SPCXx IPO campaign will be fully refunded. The refunds will be returned via the original payment methods to users’ Binance wallets. 

No action is required from participants. Binance stated that refunds are being processed in batches and aims to complete them by June 12, 2026. This refund policy is designed to minimize any financial impact on users and restore their funds as quickly as possible.

To further compensate participants, Binance will distribute a total of $1,000,000 worth of bStocks SpaceX tokens (SPCXB). The airdrop will be allocated equally among all users who joined the canceled campaign. These tokens are scheduled to be automatically credited to participants’ Binance spot accounts by June 18, 2026.

Binance unveils SPCXB availability

SPCXB is positioned as an innovative digital asset that tracks the price of SpaceX shares. It is backed 1:1 by real SpaceX shares held by a regulated custodian, with publicly verifiable proof of reserves.

Binance noted that SPCXB will soon be available for trading on its Spot market, allowing users to buy, sell, and hold the token directly on the platform.

The announcement further notes that the exchange currently supports trading of more than 7,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs. Users can already submit whole-share, regular trading-hours limit orders for SpaceX (SPCX) stock on Binance.

Tokenized stocks like SPCX and SPCXB offer retail investors easier access to companies such as SpaceX, which remains privately held and otherwise difficult for average investors to access directly.

Other firms also initates cancellation

In a similar move, Bybit has announced that users who subscribed to its SpaceX IPO Express product will not receive any SpaceX allocations due to a delivery failure by xStocks. The exchange stated that xStocks was unable to deliver the underlying assets. 

As a result, 100% of subscription funds will be automatically refunded to users’ original funding accounts with no action required. Refund details are available on the IPO Express page. Additionally, eligible participants will receive a compensatory reward calculated at 10% APR over a fixed four-day period, automatically credited to their accounts.

Operational and settlement challenges

Binance concluded its announcement by thanking users for their continued trust and support. The exchange encouraged the community to explore its expanding range of stock and tokenized asset offerings while it works to deliver new opportunities in the future.

The development highlights ongoing operational and settlement challenges in the emerging tokenized real-world assets sector, while underscoring exchanges’ efforts to protect user funds and maintain confidence amid such setbacks.
