SpaceX Soared 50% After Listing, Why Did This Space ETF Holding It Fall Instead of Rise?

TradingKey - As of June 16, Eastern Time, the Tema Space Innovators ETF (NASA) has delivered a cumulative return of approximately 32.7% since its listing on March 31. Leveraging its unique positioning as "the first pure-play space ETF to offer indirect exposure to pre-IPO SpaceX equity," the fund attracted over $3 billion in capital in just over two months, surpassing established peers to become the world's largest space-themed ETF. However, following SpaceX's (SPCX) IPO on June 12 and its subsequent surge of around 50% in the first three trading days, NASA's scarcity premium is rapidly eroding. Its share price has pulled back to $31.98 from an all-time high of $42.68 in late May, dropping over 9% on the first trading day post-IPO. The fund's future trajectory has now become a key focus for the market.
