#PreIPOsSeason2OpenAISubscription Getting an early share of OpenAI's pre-IPO offering has long been a topic of discussion in the crypto world, and now that opportunity is truly within my reach.
As part of the second phase of Gate Pre-IPOs, OpenAI subscriptions have opened, and the participation threshold is kept very low; it's possible to participate with just 100 USDT. This is the most attractive point for me, because access to the pre-IPO valuation of a company of this scale is usually reserved for large institutional investors. Now, this door is open to ordinary users as well.
I participated in the subscription process myself, and the experience was simpler than I expected. From the main page, I went to the Earn section, then to the Pre-IPOs tab, selected OpenAI, subscribed with USDT, and completed the transaction with a single click. The key detail here is that the allocation calculation is done with a time-based weighting, meaning the earlier you participate and the longer you keep your position locked, the larger the final share you get. So, not being late really makes a difference.
There are additional advantages to participating. I participated with 100 GUSD. Subscribers with GUSD earn a 3.8% annual return that works daily, meaning the capital doesn't remain completely idle during the subscription period. Also, users whose total subscription amount exceeds $10,000 directly earn 1 GT, while users below this threshold share a pool of 2,000 GT.
Another reason I'm sharing this experience is the special reward opportunity on the forum. One user, chosen by the editor, can win 0.1 OPENAI shares from among those who share this post with the hashtag and share their subscription experience, tips, or screenshots. Additionally, 100 lucky users have a chance to win a $50 position experience coupon. So, not only experiencing this process but also sharing the experience with the community opens up a source of income in itself.
Of course, it's important to remember that this type of participation carries its own risks. OpenAI is not yet publicly traded, there's no definite listing date, and this product is not a direct share, but rather a certificate aimed at reflecting the company's future market value. But with a low entry threshold and flexible exit options, the potential of such an early position offers a truly attractive balance for those willing to participate while understanding the risks.
The subscription window is short, open only until 7 AM UTC on July 17th, and given the current pace of demand, a drop in the allocation rate seems inevitable. Therefore, I recommend that those considering participating act without delay. Don't forget to share your experiences in the forum using the hashtag #PreIPOs第二期OpenAI认购 – who knows, maybe your post will be this month's editor's pick!
