Can I trade SpaceX with Pepperstone?
Verdict
- Yes, through a CFD: Pepperstone lists SpaceX as the SPCX perpetual CFD on its Australian costs page, at 0.015% commission per side.
- Pepperstone's UK site also explains three SpaceX contracts: SPCX.US, SPCX.US-24 and SPCX.US-PERP. Whether the first two are offered to Australian clients is not stated on the Australian pages we checked.
- A CFD gives price exposure only: no shares and no shareholder rights, but you can go long or short.
- Australian retail eligibility for perpetual CFDs is not stated, so confirm it with Pepperstone before you deposit.
SpaceX is one of the names Pepperstone added with its perpetual CFD range. Here is what you can trade, what it costs, and what we could not confirm for Australian accounts.
Yes: SpaceX is on Pepperstone's perpetual list
The Australian costs page lists SPCX among 17 perpetual CFDs, issued by Pepperstone Group Limited (AFSL 414530). The contract never expires, trades 24/7, and runs on TradingView, MT5, cTrader and the Pepperstone app. Commission is 0.015% per side with no minimum, so a $3,000 position costs 45 cents to open. Among the brokers in our data, Pepperstone is the only one with a published SpaceX product, which makes it our pick for this trade.

The three SpaceX contracts Pepperstone describes
| Contract | What it is | On Pepperstone's Australian pages? |
|---|---|---|
| SPCX.US | Share CFD on the US-listed stock | Not confirmed |
| SPCX.US-24 | Share CFD in the 24-hour US shares range, which trades 24/5 | Not confirmed |
| SPCX.US-PERP (SPCX on the Australian list) | Perpetual CFD, 24/7, daily funding | Yes, on the costs page |
What a SpaceX position costs to hold
- Perpetual: commission of 0.015% each way, plus funding at each 5 pm New York cut-off at that week's rate.
- Ordinary US share CFDs at Pepperstone (if SPCX.US is offered to you): $0.02 per share per side with no minimum, plus an overnight swap.
- Either way, retail leverage on share CFDs in Australia is capped at 1:5; Pepperstone publishes no separate figure for single-stock perpetuals.
Risks specific to a single-stock perpetual
- One company's news moves the whole position; there is no diversification inside the contract.
- The perpetual trades at weekends, so prices can move a long way while you are offline.
- Pepperstone offers no guaranteed stop-loss.
- Funding resets weekly, so a long hold is costed one week at a time.

Our Capital.com data includes no SpaceX product, so check its market list directly if you want a second provider. Capital.com serves Australians through Capital Com Australia Pty Ltd (AFSL 513393) and caps retail share CFDs at 5:1, the same as Pepperstone.
