SpaceX is preparing for the largest stock market debut in history, aiming to raise up to $86 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation. This massive event is drawing huge investor attention and pulling money away from other areas of the market.

## Idea

SpaceX going public is such a massive event that it is actually pulling money out of other investments, directly contributing to the recent crashes in crypto as investors scramble to find cash for the new stock. While SpaceX itself won't be easy for everyday investors to buy right away, the hype will lift the entire aerospace and defense sector. Investors who want a piece of the space economy but can't get SpaceX shares will likely bid up the next best publicly traded alternatives. Buying established aerospace companies ahead of the IPO captures this spillover excitement.
