With NASDAQ and NYSE looking to reduce the timelines for new public companies to be included into indices (“fast entry” rule), I have a feeling that OpenAI and SpaceX and Anthropic are mostly looking to dump their inflated shares into the public’s retirement accounts by force.

Michael Burry called out this structural manipulation play recently:

Retirement accounts aren't required to buy a stick just because it's listed.

... probably will though

		Retirement accounts already own funds and those in turn are often tied to the underlying index. If the time to being included in an index is reduced, they end up being automatically bought sooner. And that keeps their price from collapsing artificially.
