Prediction markets are moving further into the financial mainstream, and we believe the category is still in the early stages of its development.
In this discussion, we share our investment perspective on Kalshi, the growth of regulated prediction markets, and their potential role in information and price discovery.
We also discuss why XOVR ETF has increased its exposure to Kalshi and how the investment fits within our broader approach to identifying select private companies that we believe have the potential to become long-term category leaders.
As finance and technology continue to converge, we believe prediction markets represent an increasingly important area for investors to understand.

Why is SpaceX trading higher today (8/6) despite unlocking more than 900 million shares?
As discussed in the video, many short sellers had been hedging locked up shares and are now covering their short positions.
S3 partners estimates short interest has fallen from roughly $30b to $25b. The larger public float also allows index funds to increase their positions, creating additional demand.
Sometimes a major share unlock can be bullish rather than bearish.

What’s behind the recent SpaceX selloff and could it create a long-term opportunity?
Joel Shulman, CIO of ERShares, discusses the outlook for SpaceX, Starship, Starlink and Elon Musk’s long-term strategy, including what investors should consider beyond short-term market volatility.

$XOVR was never meant to be just a $SPCX trade. It’s about applying a VC Lens to identify innovation early across both public and private markets.
Great conversation with Brad Roth on Behind the Ticker @etfcom
$XOVR’s SpaceX investment gained $183M+ in unrealized appreciation from March 30 to June 15, 2026 — and much of it happened before the IPO.
That’s why we believe pre-IPO access matters: by the time a great company goes public, a meaningful part of the value creation may already be behind it.
Dr. Joel Shulman explains on Schwab Network why SpaceX remains a long-term holding — and why XOVR is built for the full private-to-public journey, not just the IPO.
As much as 15 to 20 trillion in passive and active index assets stands ready to absorb $SPCX's growing float.
@joel_shulman of @ERShares tells @RemyBlaireNews the lockup release starting around August 6th won't hit all at once, giving indices time to take up shares as they're freed.
"It's not always a given that investors should get out and pre lock up."
ERShares CIO, @joel_shulman recently joined Bloomberg to discuss XOVR, SpaceX, SpaceX’s inclusion in the Nasdaq-100, and ERShares’ public-private crossover investment strategy.
Key highlights:
• XOVR returned 27.45% in Q2 2026 and *5.30% in June.
• SpaceX contributed approximately $84 million in June unrealized appreciation, representing approximately 75% of the Fund’s monthly return.
• XOVR reported approximately $387 million in SpaceX exposure at quarter end.
ERShares pioneered the category by launching the first ETF with exposure to SpaceX and the first ETF designed to provide private equity exposure within an ETF structure.

$XOVR invested $30 million in Kalshi, making it one of the Fund’s largest private-company investments and adding exposure to a leading company in regulated prediction markets.
XOVR, relaunched in August 2024, was the first ETF to provide access to private equity exposure through a private-public crossover structure, combining select private-company exposure with publicly traded innovation leaders using its proprietary ER30TR Index, all inside a single Nasdaq-listed ETF.
The investment was identified through ERShares’ proprietary VC Lens, which seeks to identify category-defining companies before they are widely reflected in traditional public equity benchmarks.

Joined @cvpayne last week to discuss three key $XOVR holdings: $APP $ALAB and $SPCX
XOVR Performance and SpaceX Exposure: In Q2 2026, XOVR returned 27.45%, including a 5.30% return in June. SpaceX was a meaningful contributor to XOVR’s performance, contributing approximately $84 million in unrealized appreciation and representing about 75% of XOVR’s June return. During the period, the Fund reported approximately $387 million in SpaceX exposure. Prior to the SpaceX IPO, XOVR also turned away an estimated $1 billion of potential inflows in an effort to help reduce dilution risk for existing shareholders.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. For disclosures and holdings information please visit the ERShares website.
"Elon Musk is very much like a modern-day Rockefeller," according to Joel Shulman of ERShares — whose ETF XOVR was among the first ones to offer pre-IPO SpaceX exposure in the US https://t.co/vHqRyNpujK
Eva Ados on Astera Labs from her June 12 @FoxBusiness interview with @cvpayne :
“Last time we were on, I told you this is my new favorite… I told you it should be a household name.”
Our VC Lens helped us identify $ALAB as a category-defining AI infrastructure company before it became a Nasdaq-100 company.
Astera Labs remains one of the largest holdings in $XOVR
For disclosures and holdings information, please refer to the ERShares website.
Revenue/employee may be one of the most underappreciated AI metrics in the market.
$NVDA generates roughly $6M revenue/employee vs. about $600K for the S&P 500 average.
That is not just a valuation story.
It’s a productivity story.
AI is beginning to reshape operating leverage, margins, and earnings power across the economy.
Investors focused only on AI capex may be missing the bigger picture: AI productivity.
Great discussion yesterday with @MorganLBrennan@CNBCMorningCall
Disclosure: $NVDA is a holding in $XOVR
$ALAB is up double digits today.
Reposting my May 1st interview with @cvpayne, where I called Astera Labs one of my favorite AI infrastructure names and one of the larger holdings in $XOVR
My thesis was simple:
In every major technology cycle, the market first focuses on the obvious winners.
Then value migrates to the infrastructure layer that makes the entire ecosystem scale.
AI is no different.

Retail investors should not be last in line.
$XOVR was built for a simple reason: to help retail shareholders access opportunities and frameworks that have historically been reserved for institutions, insiders and the wealthiest investors.
That same purpose is behind every innovation we have introduced.
The private-public crossover ETF structure, the 0/0 SPV structure, the liquidity arrangement, and the Shareholder Protection Plan were not separate ideas. They were all built around the same principle: Long-term retail shareholders come first!
In my FOX interview from June 12, 2026, I discussed XOVR’s three-step Shareholder Protection Plan around the SpaceX IPO event.
The Plan was designed to help protect existing long-term shareholders by:
• Updating the valuation of XOVR’s SpaceX exposure under the Fund’s Board-reviewed valuation framework
• Limiting certain large, short-term event-driven creations ahead of the IPO
• Applying exit economics intended to help protect existing shareholders
XOVR was built for shareholders who believe retail investors deserve a stronger seat at the table.
Every major step we have taken has been guided by that same commitment.
Long-term retail shareholders come first! That is why XOVR was built, and that is the principle that will continue to guide it.

Joel Shulman joined CNBC on the day of the SpaceX IPO to discuss the IPO, the broader market reaction, and what public trading could mean for investors following SpaceX.
Important disclosures: https://t.co/2pKgwE6hcF
Ahead of the SpaceX IPO, we made a deliberate decision: protect XOVR’s long-term shareholders rather than chase hundreds of millions in short-term “hot money.”
Thank you to @investmentnews for highlighting our shareholder-protection strategy and long-term VC Lens. $XOVR $SPCX
