Nasdaq Reports Record $129.3 Billion Raised in First Half of 2026, Driven by SpaceX IPO

Nasdaq announced that U.S. exchanges collectively raised a record $129.3 billion from new listings during the first half of 2026. This significant figure was largely attributed to SpaceX's $85.7 billion initial public offering, which was dual-listed on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas, marking it as the largest IPO ever.
