<p>我半开玩笑，但从理论上讲，这确实感觉像是可能发生的事情。自互联网早期以来，人们一直在进行域名占用——注册像 business.com 和 cars.com 这样的域名并以数百万的价格转手，至今仍在继续。这里的区别在于，长期持有一个代码需要实际上市的证券，因此门槛远高于每年 10 美元的域名停放费用。</p>

<p>在 4 月 7 日，Tuttle Capital Management 将其 SPAC 和新发行 ETF 的代码从 SPCX 更改为 SPCK，这恰逢关于 SpaceX 首次公开募股的猜测。这一变化使得 Polymarket 对 SpaceX 使用 SPCX 的概率提高到 75%。类似的情况之前也曾发生，例如 Meta Platforms 和 Roundhill Investments。文章讨论了 “代码占用” 的潜在可能性，因为 ETF 发行者可能会为未来的高知名度 IPO 保留有价值的代码，这与互联网时代的域名占用相提并论</p>

<p>On April 7, Tuttle Capital Management changed the ticker on its SPAC and New Issue ETF from SPCX to SPCK. That's not something anyone would normally notice, except for the timing. SpaceX has been widely expected to go public this year, and SPCX is about as close to &#34;SpaceX&#34; as four letters can get.</p>

</div><p>When Facebook rebranded to Meta Platforms in October 2021, the company announced it would change its ticker from FB to MVRS. Unfortunately for the company, the more obvious ticker META was already in use by Roundhill Investments for its Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF.</p>

</div><p>Perhaps something similar happened between Tuttle and SpaceX. The situation isn't confirmed, and some people still think X is the more likely ticker.

<p>I'm half-joking, but it does feel like something that could happen in theory. People have been domain squatting—registering domains like business.com and cars.com and flipping them for millions—since the early days of the internet, and they still do. The difference here is that holding a ticker long-term requires an actual listed security, so the barrier is a lot higher than the $10 a year it cost to park a domain name.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>尽管启动和运营 ETF 的成本已经大幅降低，但您仍然需要每年花费几万美元来维持其运作。这是真正的资金。</p>
</div><p>Still, for an ETF issuer who already has the infrastructure and can launch products quickly, the carrying cost of sitting on a premium ticker is pretty manageable. Especially if the fund collects enough fees from assets under management to cover its own expenses while it waits.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>不过，对于已经拥有基础设施并能快速推出产品的 ETF 发行人来说，持有一个优质代码的成本相对可控。尤其是如果基金从管理资产中收取足够的费用来覆盖自身开支时。</p>
</div><p>Whether this becomes a deliberate strategy or just stays an amusing footnote probably depends on how many high-profile IPOs and rebrands are coming down the pipeline. But if you're an ETF issuer with a knack for branding and some patience, there might be worse bets out there.</p>

Is Ticker Squatting a Thing?

- Tuttle Capital 4 月 7 日将其 SPAC 和新发行 ETF 的代码从 SPCX 更改为 SPCK。  
- 此次更改引发猜测，因 SpaceX 预计将于今年上市，SPCX 名称似乎与之相关。  
- 事件虽未确认，但可能引发 ETF 发行商对优质代码的收购策略兴趣。
