.@NectarFi’s place in the biggest IPO in stock market history 🚀
Solana is currently the only blockchain with day-one tokenised SpaceX shares that can be redeemed 1:1 for the underlying stock. While many tokenised stocks are simply synthetic exposure, SPVs, or derivatives, SPCX offers a direct redemption path to real shares through Backpack.
NectarFi, alongside a handful of early-stage African Solana-native products built by SuperteamNG members such as Otaku and Corre, are among the first African products giving users access to these redeemable tokenised SpaceX shares through the Backpack/Sunrise infra.
This is Internet Capital Markets in action - global assets, local access, fully onchain.
Only possible on Solana 🔥
.@Nectar_Finance gives Nigerian users access to SPCX through @backpack and @sunrisedefi, connecting them directly into the global markets.
Solana makes global access to SPCX possible.

The fact that @SpaceX drops today and it took me less than 20 minutes to buy and gift to 10 amazing people shows the reason why i bet on @Nectar_finance.
They understand that access to wealth creation (not management) is the real use case for this technology. Adoption is about meeting people where they already are.

Yes, that SpaceX.
The company redefining space travel, satellites, and the future of humanity can now be accessed with your local currency, stablecoins, or crypto.
Generational alpha just landed.
See you on the moon. 🌕

Let me explain what just happened.
Dozens of Nigerian fintech products offer access to U.S. stocks. But only a small number currently provide access to SpaceX exposure (mostly through brokerage partners).
Of that small group, only one is offering it through onchain rails: @Nectar_finance
NectarFi is not just wrapping a traditional brokerage experience with a crypto narrative. It is building natively on Solana, which means it can plug directly into Sunrise and Backpack.
With Backpack Securities issuing the biggest IPO in Stock market history - tokenized #SpaceX stock, and Sunrise routing the asset on Solana, products like NectarFi can give Nigerian users access to the same asset through programmable, composable, onchain infrastructure.
This is the difference between “we added stock trading” and “we are connected to a global capital markets layer.”
NectarFi being Solana-native means faster integration, better settlement rails, wallet-based access, and a more direct path for Nigerians to participate in assets that were historically locked behind geography, banking restrictions, and brokerage fragmentation.
This is what internet capital markets look like in practice.
Why are you not building on Solana again?

SpaceX IPO day and I’m not missing out.
@Nectar_finance made it so easy.

Remember when going to space felt impossible?
Owning a piece of the company building the future shouldn't.
June 12. Be part of the SpaceX story on NectarFi 🚀

.@calilyliu on the $SPCX IPO coming to Solana
"Crypto is fundamentally infrastructure. Infrastructure for finance globally, accessible to everyone, 24/7, wherever you might be. That's now five and a half billion people"
"With regards to the SpaceX IPO, it's going to be available on Solana tomorrow. As soon as it's available anywhere, you can get it on Solana on the internet"
"That's going to be through xStocks, Ondo, Sunrise and a number of other issuers, and globally accessible wherever you can log in"
