For direct cash issuance, an onboarded client sends a supported stablecoin from a whitelisted wallet. The issuer buys SpaceX shares through a broker and delivers SPCXx; redemption sells collateral and returns stablecoin proceeds. Both the product terms and operating flow set a $5,000 minimum. The Final Terms permit issue or redemption fees up to 0.50%, with a $100 minimum, even though the general Market Flow page currently reports an operational fee of zero. xPort documents a separately onboarded Alpaca route for converting eligible shares and tokens.
Secondary holders can transfer or trade around the clock, but venue prices can diverge from SPCX while Nasdaq is closed or liquidity is thin. Net eligible distributions are reinvested. Rebasing or display multipliers reflect distributions and stock splits, so a balance may change without a transfer. The Final Terms also allow the issuer to lend the underlying shares, adding counterparty and recovery risk to the collateral path.
On Ethereum, SPCXx is an upgradeable proxy. Its verified implementation separates owner, minter, burner, pauser and multiplier-updater functions and checks a sanctions list. Those findings apply to the Ethereum contract; the Final Terms list other ledgers, whose authorities must be checked separately.
