#PreIPOsSeason2OpenAISubscription

For many years, one of the biggest advantages in investing belonged to venture capital firms and large institutions—they could invest in promising companies before they became publicly listed. Retail investors usually had to wait until the IPO, when valuations were often much higher. Gate's Pre-IPO program is designed to reduce that gap by giving qualified users an opportunity to participate earlier through a compliant investment structure. Season 2 brings one of the world's most closely watched AI companies, OpenAI, to the platform, making this event especially significant for investors following artificial intelligence.

What Is Gate Pre-IPO?

Gate Pre-IPO is an investment product that allows qualified users to participate in selected private companies before they become publicly listed. Instead of purchasing ordinary shares directly, participants subscribe through Gate's compliant Mirror Note mechanism, which is designed to provide economic exposure to the selected company.

This allows investors to access opportunities that have traditionally been available only to venture capital firms, institutional investors, and high-net-worth individuals.

Why Is OpenAI Important?

OpenAI has become one of the leading companies driving the global AI revolution. Its technologies are widely used across software development, business automation, education, healthcare, finance, research, and enterprise solutions.

As AI adoption continues accelerating worldwide, companies operating in this sector are attracting increasing attention from global investors.

Subscription Details

The OpenAI Pre-IPO subscription includes a total allocation of 27,700 units, with each unit priced at 722 GUSD.

The subscription opens on July 15 at 15:00 (UTC+8).

Gate also supports subscriptions using both SPCX and SPCXG, giving eligible users greater flexibility during participation.

How Does Participation Work?

The process is designed to be straightforward:

• Complete any required account verification.

• Prepare the required balance before subscriptions open.

• Enter the Pre-IPO page during the subscription window.

• Choose the number of subscription units.

• Confirm the order before the subscription period closes.

• Wait for the allocation results after the subscription ends.

If demand exceeds the available allocation, participants may receive only a portion of their requested subscription according to the allocation rules.

What Are the Benefits?

One of the biggest advantages is early exposure. Investors gain access before a potential public listing instead of waiting until the company reaches stock exchanges.

Another benefit is portfolio diversification. Rather than investing only in cryptocurrencies, investors can also gain exposure to leading private technology companies.

The product also provides accessibility, allowing qualified users to participate through the Gate platform without requiring direct connections to venture capital markets.

Participants may also qualify for GT airdrop rewards, while holding GUSD can generate 3.8% minting yield, allowing capital to continue earning passive returns before or during participation.

VIP5 users and Super Agents may receive additional promotional rewards according to Gate's event rules.

Who Is This Product Suitable For?

This product may be suitable for investors who:

• Want exposure to private technology companies.

• Believe artificial intelligence has long-term growth potential.

• Wish to diversify beyond cryptocurrencies.

• Understand the risks associated with private-market investing.

Like every investment, Pre-IPO products also involve risks.

There is no guarantee of profit.

Private company valuations can change over time.

Future IPO timing is uncertain.

Things to Check Before Joining

Before subscribing, investors should review:

• Eligibility requirements.

• Subscription rules.

• Allocation method.

• Settlement process.

• Redemption conditions.

• Product risks.

• Event timeline.

Understanding these details helps investors make more informed decisions.

Why Does This Matter?

The launch of OpenAI in Gate's Pre-IPO Season 2 demonstrates how digital asset platforms are expanding beyond traditional cryptocurrency trading. They are gradually connecting blockchain finance with private capital markets, giving qualified investors access to opportunities that were once available only to institutional participants.

As artificial intelligence continues reshaping the global economy, products like this may become an increasingly important part of diversified investment strategies for investors seeking exposure to innovative companies before they enter public markets.
