What Is Pre-IPO
A Pre-IPO token is a type of token that maps to the expected economic interest of a company that has not yet been publicly listed (IPO) on traditional securities markets. By aggregating real trading liquidity from on-chain Pre-IPO platforms, prestocks, and other multi-platform sources, it provides users with a continuously tradable “pre-listing price discovery” market, making it accessible to on-chain participants in tokenized form.
Advantages of Pre-IPO
- 1:1 Direct Conversion: Once the underlying company officially lists on U.S. equities markets, Pre-IPO tokens are directly converted into the corresponding U.S. equity tokens at the announced ratio — with no lock-up period, no queuing for allotment, and no waiting period.
- On-Chain Aggregated Liquidity: By aggregating liquidity from multiple sources including Pre-IPO Perpetuals and Prestocks, depth is superior to any single platform.
- 24/7 Trading: No market closures — continuous price speculation on pre-listing price expectations for primary market targets.
- Early Price Discovery: Establish positions ahead of a company’s IPO to capture valuation leap opportunities from primary to secondary markets.
- Low Participation Barrier: No IPO allotment queuing, no accredited investor qualification required — any on-chain account can trade.
Who Pre-IPO Is For
- Experienced traders with independent views on primary market targets (such as SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cerebras, etc.);
- On-chain investors who hold U.S. equity tokens and are familiar with the valuation transmission logic from primary to secondary markets;
- Risk-appetite users who accept high volatility and pursue early-stage opportunities.
How Pre-IPO Works
- Price Discovery: The mark price is formed by aggregating multi-source on-chain Pre-IPO Perp, Prestock quotes, and market-maker quotes. Each Pre-IPO target will have an announced Initial Reference Price, which serves only as an opening anchor and does not represent the SEC prospectus offering price nor any guaranteed valuation.
- Risk Control Parameters: Each target will have independently announced parameters, including maximum leverage limits, liquidation fee rates, maintenance margin ratios, etc. Parameters are dynamically adjusted based on market conditions.
- Trading Hours: Pre-IPO tokens are continuously tradable 24/7.
- Conversion Upon Official Listing: When the underlying company completes its official IPO and lists as a U.S. equity token, Pre-IPO tokens will be directly converted into official U.S. equity tokens at the ratio agreed upon in the announcement (default 1:1), with no waiting period. The reference benchmark for the conversion price may include, but is not limited to: the first-day opening price, first-day TWAP (time-weighted average price), first-day closing price, or other methods specified in the announcement.
- Handling of Failure to List on Schedule: If the underlying target fails to complete its listing within the window, the Pre-IPO token will be settled using an alternative method as announced and subsequently delisted.
Pre-IPO Disclaimer
1. Nature of the Product
Pre-IPO tokens are on-chain token certificates that map to the expected economic interest of the underlying company. They do not represent any equity, creditor rights, dividend rights, voting rights, or other legal interests in the underlying company, nor do they represent any allotment rights or preferential subscription rights to the company’s IPO offering. There is no agency, partnership, affiliation, or legal relationship between the parties and the underlying company; the listing of the product does not constitute any endorsement or recommendation of the underlying company’s business operations, IPO progress, or the reasonableness of its valuation.
2. Liquidity Sources and Pricing Mechanism
The liquidity of this product is sourced from on-chain third-party platform aggregation including Pre-IPO Perpetuals, Prestocks, etc., and the price is jointly determined by market quotes. Indicators such as the Initial Reference Price and reference shares of common stock outstanding are estimated based on publicly available information for reference only, and may deviate from actual values due to factors such as incomplete public information or subsequent revisions to prospectus documents (e.g., changes to the S-1/A price range, number of shares issued, or disclosure of option/RSU pool details). Market prices may also differ significantly from the underlying company’s undisclosed valuation, private placement round valuation, final IPO offering price, or post-listing market price. In the event of access failures, data delays, or data anomalies in third-party price sources, the mark price may temporarily deviate from the actual transaction prices at the underlying liquidity venue.
3. Post-Listing Conversion Rules
After the underlying company completes its official U.S. listing, Pre-IPO tokens will be converted into the corresponding U.S. equity tokens at the pre-announced ratio (default 1:1), with no waiting period. The reference benchmark for the conversion price may include but is not limited to: the first-day opening price on listing, first-day TWAP, first-day closing price, or other methods specified in the announcement. The final conversion ratio and conversion timing shall be subject to the official settlement announcement. The right to adjust the conversion plan based on actual listing conditions is reserved.
4. Handling of Non-Listing / Adverse Events (Alternative Settlement Methods)
If the underlying target fails to complete its IPO within the window, or if any of the following events occur, the right to invoke an alternative settlement method as announced is reserved:
- Transaction Events: The underlying target is acquired, taken private, recapitalized, or otherwise undergoes a transaction that forms an alternative listing price → the settlement price may reference such transaction pricing;
- Extended Markets: If the market has been in existence for an extended period such that the full-cycle TWAP can no longer reasonably reflect the current fair value → a shorter recent window TWAP or other announced method may be used instead;
- Adverse Events: The underlying target undergoes bankruptcy, regulatory penalties, material restatements, or other events that render the expected listing practically unrealizable → the settlement price may reference the alternative fair value following the event.
If a public reference price is unavailable, or in other extreme circumstances that impede normal settlement, the right to suspend Pre-IPO token trading until a settlement plan is determined is reserved. When conversion cannot be executed in the form of U.S. equity tokens, cash settlement of positions in stablecoins (such as USDT) at the settlement price may be elected. The alternative method, TWAP sampling window, and final settlement price shall be subject to the settlement announcement for the corresponding target; the settlement/conversion price may differ materially from the user’s entry price, market-expected valuation, and the target’s subsequent public market price.
5. User Eligibility and Regional Restrictions
Pre-IPO tokens are not available to the following users/regions: persons subject to securities laws of jurisdictions such as the United States and the European Union; users in restricted regions or on restricted lists as specified in the User Agreement and related announcements; and users who have not passed the relevant KYC process or do not meet the applicable product eligibility thresholds. Institutional accounts, sub-accounts, bulk-registered accounts, etc. may be excluded from participation; specifics are subject to announcements.
6. Tax and Non-Transferability
Users bear sole responsibility for all tax declaration and payment obligations arising from holding, trading, or converting Pre-IPO tokens. No tax advice is provided to users regarding their tax matters, nor are tax declarations filed on their behalf.
Pre-IPO tokens may only be traded, held, and converted post-listing within the platform; off-platform transfers are not supported.
7. Risk Disclosure
Digital asset trading involves significant risks. Due to the fact that the underlying targets of Pre-IPO tokens have not yet been publicly listed, information disclosure is limited, liquidity is concentrated, and price volatility is significantly higher than that of ordinary U.S. equity tokens — the risk level is substantially higher. You may lose your entire investment principal, and all resulting losses shall be borne solely by the user. Please fully understand the product mechanics and the settlement rules described above before participating.
8. Related Party Transaction Risks (SPCX)
The “Related Party Transactions” section of SpaceX’s prospectus discloses that the underlying company has extensive commercial and financial dealings with its controlling shareholder Elon Musk and his affiliated entities (including but not limited to xAI Holdings, X Holdings, Tesla chip factory Terafab, EchoStar spectrum transactions, etc.). Such related party transactions may continue after the IPO and may have an impact on the underlying company’s operating performance, valuation, and stock price. The price of this token may also be indirectly affected by such related party transactions. Users are advised to refer directly to the original SEC prospectus (EDGAR Entity Landing Page) for details.
9. Rights and Final Interpretation
The right is reserved to adjust at any time the listing/delisting of Pre-IPO tokens, trading rules, conversion ratios, settlement methods, and risk control parameters (leverage, price discovery protection bands, liquidation rules, open interest limits, etc.). Matters not addressed in this document shall be subject to the latest announcements; the final right of interpretation of this product belongs to the platform.
10. Not Investment Advice
Any information in this document and on the product page does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice. Users should make independent judgments based on their own financial situation and risk tolerance, and consult professionals where necessary.
