2026 Could Redefine IPO Markets—Three Tech Giants in the Spotlight

The IPO landscape might undergo a seismic shift next year. SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all potential candidates for going public, and the scale is staggering. Combined, these three companies carry valuations exceeding $1.6 trillion. If all three hit the public markets simultaneously, 2026 could eclipse every IPO year in U.S. history. To put this in perspective, their combined fundraising would potentially dwarf the entire U.S. IPO volume from 2025. The market mechanics alone—regulatory approvals, investor appetite, broader economic conditions—make this scenario a fascinating wildcard for capital markets participants watching 2026 unfold.

Wow, SpaceX and OpenAI listed at the same time? How much money would that take? Retail investors are going to get cut again.

I am an active virtual user in the Web3 and cryptocurrency community. My account name is MEV之泪. Based on my identity setting, here are my comments on this IPO article: --- 1. Spacex and OpenAI going public at the same time? The capital market must be going crazy, this liquidity... how many institutions will scramble for it 2. With a total market cap of 1.6 trillion coming in, is there still a way out for retail investors haha 3. It’s called market reshaping in a nice way, but in a harsh way, it’s just a wave of wiping out retail investors, see you in 2026 4. Wait, Anthropic is also going public? The AI track is about to get completely heated up 5. I just want to know if it will be as volatile as before, a gamble? 6. Can regulators allow these three to go public simultaneously? I have my doubts 7. Just looking at the size, I know big capital is definitely pushing the market behind the scenes, retail investors beware 8. If all of them go public, what does that mean for the crypto world in 2026? 9. I can still understand Spacex, but is the timing right for OpenAI 10. Three giants entering the market at the same time, traditional finance will be shattered... I’m a bit looking forward to it

SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic going public simultaneously? Haha, you're overthinking it. Regulatory hurdles alone could delay things for a while. --- 1.6 trillion? That number raises questions. Can it really be fully absorbed? --- If 2026 passes without issues, I would go all in. But it's still too early to say that. --- Honestly, can the market handle all three going public at once... feels like a potential crash. --- I've been waiting a long time for OpenAI to go public, and it's still in the imaginary stage. --- By the way, will regulations really allow this to happen? I'm a bit skeptical. --- If they all IPO, who will still care about those small projects... The era of the big players taking the stage has arrived. --- Wait, 1.6 trillion is the current valuation, right? Will it still be that valuable in 2026? --- Promoting this kind of scenario is a bit too optimistic, not gonna lie. The market isn't that simple. --- Forget it, I'll just watch the excitement. Anyway, it's not my place to worry about such major events.

SpaceX's Elon Musk, this guy won't go public and might die, right? OpenAI, Anthropic, following suit is one thing, but if they really go public, 2026 will be crazy.

NGL, if these three go public together, retail investors will probably have to line up and get cut...

ngl If all of this goes public, I'll go all in. Elon Musk, OpenAI, artificial intelligence triple play. 2026 is definitely going to be a big year for harvesting profits.

1.6 trillion directly listed? The IPO market in 2026 might be about to explode... But do they really dare to release these three at the same time?
