Not every investment opportunity is created equal. Many retail investors only hear about an IPO after the stock has already started trading, while early access is often limited. Direct IPO Access Season 2 is designed to reduce that gap by giving eligible Gate users another way to participate before a company officially enters the public market.

This time, the spotlight is on Jersey Mike's (JMKE), a well-known submarine sandwich chain with more than 3,300 locations across the United States and Canada. From a single restaurant to a nationwide franchise network, the company has built its business through steady expansion and strong brand recognition.

The offering has attracted additional attention because Jersey Mike's is backed by Blackstone. Support from a global investment firm doesn't guarantee future performance, but it explains why many market participants are paying close attention to this IPO.

The announced indicative price range is $21-$25 per share, giving investors an early reference before the final IPO pricing is confirmed.

What makes this campaign different isn't only the company—it's the way users can participate.

Instead of using traditional funding methods, eligible participants can subscribe with USDT or GUSD. If shares are allocated successfully, they are transferred directly to the user's Gate stock account, making the process much more convenient for people already active in the crypto ecosystem.

Another important detail is that allocated shares have no lock-up period. This provides investors with greater flexibility after the shares are received, allowing them to make decisions according to their own investment strategy.

Season 1 introduced SpaceX and demonstrated that crypto platforms can provide access to opportunities traditionally associated with conventional financial markets. Now, Season 2 continues that direction by introducing another recognizable business from a completely different industry.

Subscriptions officially begin on July 27 at 10:00 (UTC+8).

Whether you're interested in crypto, stocks, or both, this campaign highlights an important trend: the gap between digital assets and traditional investing continues to become smaller. Giving users the ability to participate in a U.S. IPO through USDT or GUSD shows how investment products are evolving and how access to financial markets is becoming more flexible for retail investors.
