If the OpenAI Pre-IPO subscription price is more than 12% cheaper than the mirrored price outside, would you want to participate?


Gate’s recent public opinion buzz really is pretty big—watching the drama to the end, it’s also hard to tell clearly who’s right and who’s wrong.
But exactly at this point in time, here comes the second round of OpenAI Pre-IPO again.
The subscription price is 722, and the mirrored secondary market price outside is about 825, which is roughly a 12.5%-13% discount.
Launching it right now makes it hard not to feel like they’re trying to win back some popularity with a “benefit.”
Also, in the past, Gate-style Pre-IPO deals basically all ended up oversubscribed. This time, because of the impact from the public opinion, the participation hype might be lower than before—on the flip side, the allocation ratio might end up being higher.
But I think there are a few things to pay attention to first:
1. This time you’re not buying OpenAI stock itself, but mirrored notes; the real IPO most likely still won’t happen until after 2027.
2. OpenAI’s implied valuation is already at $895 billion, so it’s not exactly “cheap.”
3. Gate this time unlocks and distributes in three tranches within two months, not a one-time 100% distribution.
Last time with SpaceX, many platforms ended up in refunds. Gate is at least one of the few platforms that truly issued SpaceX.
So this time I wouldn’t say there’s definitely going to be huge upside, but discounted subscription, a participation threshold of $100 minimum, and tradability before the 20th opening—these are definitely worth talking about.
- Subscription amount: total size about $20 million; supports USDT / GUSD. The earlier you participate, the higher your allocation weight.
- Subscription time: 15:00 on July 15 - 15:00 on July 17
- Trading time: before market opens on July 20; after that, supports 7×24 free buying and selling
In one sentence: you can complain all you want, but manage your money for yourself.
