The product swaps price-triggered margin calls for a 10-day payment grace period, a structural shift that turns bitcoin-backed borrowing into a credit question rather than a price bet.
Every major underwriter opened SpaceX with a buy-equivalent rating, but the spread from Goldman's $205 to Raymond James's $800 is the real story for investors pricing the post-IPO range.
The disagreement is itself the signal: cycle-bottom calls rarely get unanimous, and a still-active $40K-bid camp means conviction on a durable bottom remains underweight.
