JPMorgan Eases SpaceX Lending Rules to Capture AI Wealth

JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is relaxing its lending rules for shares of newly listed companies like SpaceX (SPCX), allowing loans against them before the usual 135-day waiting period. This move aims to capture wealth from the AI boom. JPMorgan earned $75 million from the SpaceX listing. The bank assesses liquidity and price discovery for lending decisions. Lending against newly listed stocks carries risks, including price volatility and limited trading volumes.
