    It didn’t vanish. The early investors got their money and the naive buyers left holding their empty bags.
    This is what they call exit liquidity.

    Exit liquidity refers to investors who buy assets at inflated prices, enabling earlier investors to sell at a profit.
    These later investors often incur losses as asset values decline.

    It is very common in crypto and in volatile tech stocks.

      They also got it on the NASDAQ so if you have an index fund that follows that you bought into it.

      Early investors are still in their lock in period.

        A lot of people really dont understand this.

        SpaceX got the money. Its on their balance sheet.

        Everyone who bought at $135 IPO price was giving money to SpaceX.

        Everyone since then is just trading shares between each other.

        The real shitshow starts once insiders can sell, until that happens we wont really know what price the market will settle at.

            Usually around 6 months, but they pulled some shenanigans to make it shorter somehow, but i dont really know the specifics in this case.

              Those shenanigans being “corruption” in this case.

                I wouldn’t rule out possible blackmail or extortion either.

            The article says nearly 1B shares can be sold next month

              For reference, of all the shares that were sold in the IPO, only 281m are able to be traded, the rest are in their own lockup periods from institutional investors. So 1b potential shares flooding the market in 1 month could increase the float by 3.56x

            This is mainly just showing a lot of option conversions / actions that happened because of the merger / IPO.

            There’s a small sale on the first form in March, and the 2nd form in April

        How early?
        I made my entry on the 8th June and sold on the 15th June expecting the crash.

          The big players that invested years ago. They aren’t allowed to dump their stock on day 1 because of the obvious issues. But as they are allowed to sell, that increases the selling pressure as well as increasing the share pool available.
