[Gate Pre-IPOs Phase 2 Launches OpenAI (OPENAI), Supporting Dual-Currency Participation with USDT and GUSD] Odaily Planet Daily News – Digital asset trading platform Gate has announced that it will launch the second phase of its Pre-IPOs project, OpenAI (OPENAI), from 15:00 on July 15, 2026, to 15:00 on July 17, 2026 (UTC+8). The subscription will support dual-currency participation with USDT and GUSD. The total subscription value of the project is approximately $20 million, with 27,700 OPENAI asset certificates issued at a price of 1 OPENAI = $722. The minimum investment starts at 100 USDT or 100 GUSD, with no implied fees or custody charges. OpenAI, driven by products like ChatGPT, has been advancing generative AI development and has received investments from companies such as Microsoft, with an implied market valuation of approximately $895 billion. The OPENAI asset certificates are pre-IPO mirror notes designed to reflect the value of the company before and after its public listing. Gate will hedge exposure by acquiring related stocks and will provide options for pre-market trading, long-term holding, and future conversion into stock assets, stock tokens, or USDT. Allocation will be calculated based on the "average hourly locked amount," with earlier participation and longer lock-up periods receiving higher weight. Certificates will unlock in three phases on July 17, August 17, and September 17, and pre-market trading will open on July 20. Simultaneously, Gate is launching VIP/Super Agent airdrops, GT rewards, and a 3.8% annualized yield for GUSD minting. Additionally, Gate has introduced Pre-IPOs, IPO Access, Gate Stocks, and gStocks, covering U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and Korean stocks, with access to over 12,500 stocks and ETFs. The platform will continue to expand its global asset ecosystem, including ETFs and RWA (Real-World Assets). Gate remains committed to bridging traditional finance with on-chain assets, providing global users with a more open, efficient, and one-stop investment service.
