Rocket Lab Tops NASA ETF at 10.1% as Fund Hits $2.6B AUM
RKLB•RKLB•RKLB•RKLB•Retail investors poured money into the NASA ETF, driving AUM to $2.6 billion with a 50% gain since its March launch. Rocket Lab has become the fund's largest holding at 10.1%, positioning it to benefit from surging SpaceX IPO interest and broader space industry inflows.
Assets under management in the NASA ETF have reached $2.6 billion since its March 30 launch, reflecting a 50% rise for investors and contributing to over $5 billion across space-focused exchange-traded funds. These vehicles have more than doubled in size since early 2026 and climbed over 900% year-over-year as retail demand for space exposure intensifies.
Rocket Lab accounts for 10.1% of the NASA ETF portfolio, making it the largest single holding, while SpaceX exposure stands at 6.9% via a special-purpose vehicle. This heavy weighting underscores retail appetite for space equities and may bolster Rocket Lab’s share performance as the sector gears up for the upcoming SpaceX IPO and elevated valuations.
