description: "OKX is set to launch perpetual futures linked to private companies like OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic, providing synthetic price exposure ahead of potential IPOs. This initiative reflects a trend among crypto platforms, such as Bitget and Injective, to facilitate pre-IPO speculation on-chain without granting shareholder rights. The move signifies a shift by exchanges to diversify beyond traditional cryptocurrencies into equities and real-world assets, reminiscent of previous ventures like Robinhood’s OpenAI-related tokens, which faced public backlash."

# OKX joins crypto’s pre-IPO frenzy with OpenAI, SpaceX perpetual futures

-   OKX plans to launch perpetual futures tied to private companies such as OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic, offering synthetic price exposure ahead of potential IPOs.
-   The products mirror a broader push by crypto platforms like Bitget and Injective to bring pre-IPO and private equity-style speculation on-chain without conferring actual shareholder rights.
-   The move comes as exchanges expand beyond bitcoin and ether into equities and real-world asset markets, echoing earlier experiments like Robinhood’s OpenAI-linked tokens that drew public distancing from the company.
