With SpaceX reportedly evaluating a confidential IPO at a valuation approaching $1.75 trillion, ERShares highlights XOVR's role as a regulated, listed vehicle for accessing late-stage private markets
NEW YORK, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent reports indicate that SpaceX may be evaluating a confidential IPO filing, with widely discussed valuations approaching $1.75 trillion -- a figure that would rank it among the largest public offerings in history. The XOVR ETF (ERShares Private-Public Crossover ETF) provides investors with SpaceX exposure and access to other select late-stage private companies, within a listed fund structure that requires no accredited-investor status. As demand for late-stage private market access continues to accelerate, XOVR offers a differentiated framework for investors seeking exposure, though any SpaceX IPO plans remain subject to change and are out of the control of ERShares.
I. XOVR: Structure, Exposure, and Access
For decades, access to transformative private companies, including SpaceX, has been largely limited to sovereign wealth funds, large institutions, and ultra-high-net-worth investors. XOVR was developed to provide a more accessible framework within a regulated ETF structure.
Public equity foundation: Core allocation to the ER30TR Index, a proprietary basket of 30 U.S. large-cap, venture-capital-informed companies selected for innovation and long-term growth
Private market exposure: Approximately $205 million in SpaceX exposure as of March 25, 2026, held through a structured Special Purpose Vehicle ("SPV") designed without ongoing management fee or carried interest, alongside selective exposure to other late-stage private companies including Anduril. Exposure levels may change.
Exchange Listing: Nasdaq listing
Access: No minimums and no accredited-investor requirement
ERShares has built a high-conviction position in SpaceX exposure as part of its broader strategy to capture value creation in late-stage private markets prior to potential public listings.
II. Verified Operational Record
The following reflects information drawn from publicly filed SEC documents, official ERShares materials, and regulatory disclosures:
Fee disclosure: All fund expenses, including those associated with the private market sleeve, have been disclosed in accordance with applicable SEC requirements and made publicly available through formal filings
Holdings transparency: XOVR holdings are disclosed on a regular basis consistent with regulatory requirements. Following a routine administrator transition on January 19, 2026, holdings data remains accessible to market participants and data providers
NAV calculation: The fund calculates and publishes net asset value daily, consistent with standard ETF practices and regulatory guidelines
Private market valuation: Differences between external private market indications reported in the press and XOVR reported portfolio valuations reflect structural considerations, timing, portfolio weighting, transaction costs, and valuation methodology
Regulatory filings: All required disclosures are filed with the SEC and available through standard public channels
Investors should evaluate the fund through official SEC filings, portfolio disclosures, and fund materials available at ershares.com.
III. Market Context and Research Standards
ERShares welcomes rigorous, independent evaluation of complex investment products. Investors, however, should evaluate XOVR through official SEC filings, portfolio disclosures, and fund materials rather than incomplete or misleading third-party characterizations.
Over a twelve-month period, one analyst published more than 120 posts, articles, and podcast appearances targeting XOVR, a significant number of which ERShares believes materially misstate the fund's disclosures, structure, or operations. To protect investors and the integrity of the public record, ERShares has taken formal action to address statements it believes materially misstate the fund's disclosures, structure, or operations. Professor Joel Shulman, Ph.D., CFA, has filed a formal complaint with the CFA Institute Professional Conduct Division, and ERShares has retained Meier Watkins Phillips Pusch, a Washington, D.C. defamation law firm, which has transmitted formal correspondence to Morningstar, Inc. and the relevant analyst. ERShares will act where necessary to ensure that commentary relied upon by investors is measured against the public record.
"When an analyst publishes an outsized volume of commentary focused on a single fund - around Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve, Christmas Eve - that is not analysis. That is something else entirely. Our investors made a deliberate decision to participate in a differentiated investment structure. The facts, the disclosures, and the underlying thesis support that decision."
- Eva Ados - Chief Investment Strategist & COO, ERShares
