Gate, one of the leading global digital asset trading platforms, today announced the launch of Pre-IPOs Phase 2, featuring OpenAI (OPENAI). Opening for subscription on July 15, the offering supports subscriptions in both USDT and GUSD, allowing users to get in early on one of the world’s leading AI unicorns before its potential public listing while enjoying multiple subscription rewards, including GT Sunshine Airdrop rewards and GUSD Minting returns.

Gate Pre-IPOs is the platform’s digital subscription mechanism designed to provide users with more convenient and diversified access to pre-listing investment opportunities in high-quality companies. The OpenAI (OPENAI) subscription will run from July 15, 2026, 07:00 to July 17, 2026, 07:00 (UTC). The offering has a total subscription value of approximately $20 million, with 27,700 OPENAI Asset Certificates available at a commitment price of $722 per OPENAI. The minimum subscription amount is 100 USDT or 100 GUSD per order, and this subscription waives both the implied trading fee and custody fee.

OpenAI is one of the world’s most influential artificial intelligence companies, driving the rapid advancement of generative AI through products such as ChatGPT while continuing to attract significant attention from global capital markets. Having received continued investment from leading technology companies including Microsoft, OpenAI currently carries an implied valuation of approximately $895 billion and is widely regarded as one of the defining AI unicorns of this generation.

OPENAI Asset Certificates are Mirror Notes issued before OpenAI’s IPO, designed to reflect the company’s market value before and after its public listing. Structured as Contingent Payout Notes (CPNs), they provide users with exposure to OpenAI’s pre-IPO valuation. By obtaining hedging exposure to OpenAI shares in the market, Gate provides users with multiple exit options or long-term holding methods aligned with the target company’s fair market value.

Gate Pre-IPOs uses users’ hourly average locked amount as the basis for allocation. The earlier users subscribe and the longer they maintain their subscription, the higher their allocation weight. Following the subscription period, OPENAI Asset Certificates will be distributed across three unlock phases, with 25% unlocked on July 17, 35% on August 17, and 40% on September 17, 2026.

Following the initial distribution, OPENAI Asset Certificates will begin pre-market trading in the Gate Pre-IPOs section on July 20, 2026, 08:00 (UTC). Depending on market conditions, users may choose to buy or sell their holdings through Pre-Market trading before the underlying company completes its IPO. After the IPO and the applicable lock-up period, holders will be able to exchange their Asset Certificates for shares, tokenized stocks, or USDT based on the actual post-listing market price through Gate’s dedicated redemption portal.

To celebrate the launch, Gate is introducing multiple subscription rewards. Eligible VIP users and Affiliate Ultras can participate in the OpenAI (OPENAI) Airdrop campaign. Users with successful subscriptions exceeding $10,000 will each receive 1 GT, while users with successful subscriptions below $10,000 will share a 2,000 GT Sunshine Airdrop prize pool. Users subscribing with GUSD will also enjoy a 3.8% annualized GUSD Minting return, with returns distributed automatically on a daily basis.

As digital assets continue to converge with traditional finance, Gate is steadily expanding its global investment ecosystem across pre-listing opportunities, publicly listed equities, and tokenized securities. The platform has introduced products including Pre-IPOs and IPO Access, while Gate Stocks now supports 24/7 trading across the U.S., Hong Kong, and Korean markets, covering more than 12,500 stocks and ETFs. Gate has also launched gStocks, its tokenized securities service backed 1:1 by underlying shares, creating a diversified investment ecosystem spanning pre-IPO opportunities, listed equities, and tokenized securities.

Looking ahead, Gate will continue expanding its global investment ecosystem by introducing more high-quality stocks, ETFs, and RWA products. By connecting primary markets, secondary markets, and tokenized assets, Gate aims to provide users with a full lifecycle investment experience covering asset discovery, investment participation, and value realization, while further accelerating the convergence of digital assets and traditional finance to build a more open, efficient, and comprehensive global investment platform.
