The race to gain exposure to the booming commercial space economy is increasingly flowing through ETFs and smaller publicly traded space companies as investors await what could become the largest IPO in history from SpaceX.

• Procure Space ETF stock is approaching key resistance levels. What’s behind UFO new highs?

Something went wrong.

The frenzy around Elon Musk's rocket and satellite giant has fueled massive inflows into space-focused ETFs, helping the Procure Space ETF (NASDAQ:UFO) surpass $1 billion in assets under management while the Tema Space Innovators ETF (NYSE:NASA) ballooned to roughly $1.27 billion just 37 trading days after launch.

The rapid growth suggests investors are increasingly using space ETFs as proxy trades for SpaceX and the broader satellite broadband and lunar infrastructure boom.
