    #49: RVI IPO vs. VCX Direct Listing (March). Plus, Stripe's New Valuation, and Cerebras IPO

    Robinhood postponed its RVI IPO 8 days, possibly due to its Stripe purchase or lack of IPO share demand. Fundrise VCX shareholders passed key proposals, and the deal is expected to direct list in mid-March. Craig compares RVI vs. VCX holdings side-by-side. In IPO Radar news, Stripe's valuation hits $159 billion in a tender offer, and the company is considering acquiring PayPal. Cerebras IPO update: The company has filed confidentially (again) for its IPO, which could arrive as early as April 2026.

    #47: The Fundrise Innovation Fund VCX is Going Public - What does this mean for existing investors?

    CORRECTION: Please note, the VCX, RVI, and DXYZ funds are not ETFs. They closed-end funds (CEF) that are exchange-traded. Though they trade like ETFs, this is an important distinction. The Fundrise Innovation Fund (VCX) plans to go public, pending a shareholder vote in February. What does this mean for existing investors, and how will it impact the fund over the long-term?
