Bloomberg is calling Elon Musk's upcoming SpaceX IPO "the biggest listing of ALL TIME."
But here's the thing - most investors will be locked out until AFTER it goes public.
Not you.
I've found a 'backdoor' that lets everyday Americans grab a pre-IPO stake in SpaceX right now.

Cryptocurrencies capped a volatile week with extreme fear (Fear &Greed ~8–10), BTC correcting to ~$68k lows before rebounding to $70.5k+ on geopolitical de-escalation, while a major stablecoin exploit amplified downside pressure.
The transition from cautious recovery to a significant market correction defined the week of March 16–22, 2026. While the week began with Bitcoin pushing toward new highs, persistent macroeconomic tension and a major stablecoin exploit mid-week sent the Fear and Greed Index to historic lows.
Bitcoin Price Action Breakdown
The optimism of early March vanished as Bitcoin (BTC) failed to maintain its breakout above $74,000.
The Rejection - After opening the week with momentum that carried it to a high of $74,871 on March 17, Bitcoin faced heavy resistance. By March 19, the price slid back below $70,000 as the Federal Reserve held rates steady at 3.50%–3.75%, strengthening the dollar and dampening risk appetite.
The Correction - The week ended on a bearish note, with BTC dropping to a weekly low near $67,846 by March 22. This move suggests the $73,500 level has transitioned from a target to a formidable psychological ceiling.
US Government & Trump Administration Actions
The administration’s Crypto Capital agenda faced its first major test this week as regulatory speed met geopolitical friction.
Iran Ultimatum & Market Impact - Global markets, including crypto, were shaken by reports of a 48-hour ultimatum issued by the administration regarding the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Bitcoin briefly rebounded above $70,000 following productive talks, but the underlying geopolitical risk remains a primary driver of volatility.
SEC Crypto 2.0 Task Force - Led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, the task force began implementing generic listing standards for ETFs, significantly streamlining the process for new spot crypto products to enter the market.
Tokenized Securities - In a landmark move on March 18, the SEC approved a Nasdaq rule to trade certain stocks and ETFs as tokenized securities, further bridging the gap between Wall Street and blockchain.
Bitcoin Dominance
BTC Dominance from CoinMarket Cap
Bitcoin Dominance remained relatively stable but moved toward the upper end of its range, ending the week at approximately 59.8%. This indicates that while BTC is falling, altcoins are bleeding at a faster rate, as investors consolidate into "proven" assets during periods of extreme uncertainty.
Fear & Greed Index
Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index from Bitdegree
The index has collapsed to a staggering 8/10 (Extreme Fear) as of Sunday. This marks a sharp decline from the previous week's 15, driven by the combination of Bitcoin's price slide and the high-profile exploit of the Resolv protocol. Historically, Fear and Greed below 15 were local bottoms a year ago.
Top Crypto Gains & Losses
The performance stack this week was dominated by a mix of infrastructure breakthroughs and a catastrophic stablecoin depeg.
Top Gains
Top Crypto Gains from CoinGecko
Siren (SIREN) - Reached a new all-time high of $0.7877 on March 17, marking a monthly rally of over 430% driven by its decentralized infrastructure play.

Bedrock (BR) - Saw significant accumulation up 84% as institutional interest in restaking protocols increased.
Top Losers
Top Crypto Losers from CoinGecko
Pippin (PIP) - Faced a sharp sell-off, down 74% as speculative liquidity moved toward safer yield-bearing assets.
Resolv (USR) - The USR stablecoin depegged on March 22 after an attacker minted 80 million unbacked tokens, extracting roughly $25 million from the protocol.
Comedian (BAN) - Dropped 60% as the meme-sector narrative lost steam during the broader market correction.
Crypto Media & Influencer Perspective
The institutional narrative remains focused on long-term accumulation despite short-term pain.
The Block - Reported that Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy continues its Orange March, purchasing an additional 1,031 BTC for $76.7 million, bringing total holdings to 762,099 BTC.
Bitcoin Magazine - Highlighted the launch of Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) on the NYSE Arca, a move seen as a major win for institutional accessibility.
Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) - Noted that the market is currently in a boring but necessary consolidation phase, suggesting that the RSI levels indicate we are nearing a local bottom.
Timothy Peterson (@nsquaredvalue) - Reaffirmed his model's target, maintaining an 88% probability that Bitcoin will reach $122,000 within the next 10 months based on current adoption curves.
In extreme fear, history favors patience, stack sats if conviction holds, but respect $65k–$66k support.
What to Watch Next
Resolv Recovery - Whether the Resolv team can restore the USR peg will be a litmus test for DeFi resilience in 2026.
Bitcoin 2026 Conference - With Eric Trump confirmed as a speaker for the April event, market participants are looking for further pro-crypto policy signals.
The $65,000 Support - If Bitcoin fails to hold the $65,000–$66,000 range, a retest of the $60,000 psychological floor becomes likely.
