#PreIPOsSeason2OpenAISubscription

Gate Exchange has launched the Pre-IPOs Season 2 event featuring OpenAI (OPENAI), providing users with an exclusive opportunity to subscribe to asset certificates representing the world's leading AI unicorn before its potential public listing. This event allows participants to gain early exposure to OpenAI's market value through digital asset subscriptions.
OpenAI stands as one of the most influential artificial intelligence companies globally, renowned for developing ChatGPT and driving the rapid advancement of generative AI technology. The company has attracted continuous investments from major technology corporations including Microsoft and currently holds an implied valuation of approximately 895 billion dollars. As one of the most representative unicorn enterprises of the AI era, OpenAI commands significant attention from global capital markets.
The OPENAI asset certificate serves as a mirror note issued before OpenAI's initial public offering, designed to reflect the company's market value both before and after its potential listing. This contingent payout note tracks OpenAI's stock value, allowing investors to participate in the company's growth trajectory through a digital instrument. Gate Exchange obtains hedging exposure to OpenAI stock in the market, enabling users to access various exit methods or long-term holding options aligned with the target company's fair market value.
The subscription period for this event runs from July 15, 2026 at 15:00 to July 17, 2026 at 15:00 UTC+8. The total subscription value amounts to approximately 20 million dollars, with 27,700 OPENAI asset certificates available. The subscription price is set at 722 dollars per OPENAI certificate. Participants can subscribe using either USDT or GUSD stablecoins, with 70 percent allocation for USDT subscriptions and 30 percent for GUSD subscriptions. The minimum single subscription amount is 100 USDT or 100 GUSD, while the maximum individual allocation is capped at 277 OPENAI certificates.
Gate Exchange offers multiple subscription benefits to participants. The GT Sunshine Reward program provides 1 GT token to users who successfully subscribe for amounts exceeding 10,000 dollars. Users subscribing below this threshold can share a pool of 2,000 GT tokens distributed proportionally. These rewards are distributed during the first unlock phase.
VIP users enjoy exclusive airdrop opportunities based on their VIP level. VIP 5 through VIP 6 members can receive 36 or 12 OPENAI certificates depending on their qualification category. VIP 7 through VIP 8 members are eligible for 30 or 10 certificates. VIP 9 through VIP 10 members can obtain 21 or 7 certificates. VIP 11 through VIP 14 members qualify for 15 or 7 certificates respectively. To participate, VIP users must complete registration on the event page and maintain net deposits of at least 30,000 USDT during the activity period.
Super agents receive special recognition through a dedicated airdrop program. Eligible super agents automatically receive 0.2 OPENAI certificates as appreciation for their continued support and contributions to the platform.
GUSD subscribers benefit from additional yield opportunities. Users subscribing with GUSD can earn 3.8 percent annual minting returns, distributed automatically on a daily basis. GUSD supports redemption at any time, subject to applicable redemption fees.
The distribution of OPENAI asset certificates follows a three-phase unlocking schedule. The first phase unlocks 25 percent of holdings on July 17, 2026 at 19:00 UTC+8. The second phase unlocks 35 percent on August 17, 2026 at 19:00 UTC+8. The third and final phase unlocks the remaining 40 percent on September 17, 2026 at 19:00 UTC+8. Successful subscribers receive their first unlock along with any unallocated subscription funds by July 17, 2026 at 19:00 UTC+8.
Pre-market trading for OPENAI asset certificates begins on July 20, 2026 at 16:00 UTC+8 in the Gate Pre-IPOs section. This allows holders to trade their assets freely in a 24/7 market environment before any potential IPO lockup period concludes.
The allocation mechanism operates on an average hourly locked amount basis. The system calculates each participant's proportional share based on their average locked subscription amount relative to the total average subscription amount across all participants. Earlier subscribers receive higher allocation weights, making timing an important factor in subscription strategy.
Participants can access the Pre-IPOs section through the Gate web platform or mobile application by navigating to the Wealth section, then Launchpad, and selecting Pre-IPOs. From there, users can choose OPENAI and complete subscription using either USDT or GUSD.
The event represents a significant opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the AI sector's leading enterprise before its potential public market debut. With multiple reward mechanisms, flexible subscription options, and structured unlocking schedules, Gate Exchange provides a comprehensive framework for participating in pre-IPO investment opportunities through digital asset channels.@Gate_Square
