#PreIPOsSeason2OpenAISubscription
The Future of AI Investing Starts Before the IPO
Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry, and OpenAI stands at the center of that revolution. Through Gate Pre-IPOs Season 2, users had the opportunity to gain early exposure to one of the world's most valuable private AI companies before any potential public listing.
Unlike traditional investing, where most people only gain access after a company is already public, Gate's Pre-IPOs product is designed to provide earlier market participation. It offers users a way to track the value of leading private companies through digital asset certificates while creating multiple opportunities for trading and long-term positioning.
The OpenAI Phase 2 subscription was held from July 15 to July 17, 2026 (UTC+8). The event accepted both USDT and GUSD, with a total subscription value of approximately 20 million USD. Around 27,700 OPENAI Asset Certificates were issued at a subscription price of 722 USD per OPENAI, while the minimum participation requirement was only 100 USDT or 100 GUSD, making the event accessible to a wide range of investors.
So what exactly are OPENAI Asset Certificates?
These certificates are pre-IPO mirror notes designed to reflect OpenAI's market value before and after a future listing. They provide investors with exposure to one of the most anticipated technology companies while Gate manages its market exposure through relevant stock hedging strategies. Participants may later benefit from several exit paths, including 24/7 pre-market trading, long-term holding, or future conversion into stock assets, stock tokens, or USDT, depending on future developments.
Distribution follows a transparent three-stage unlock schedule:
• 25% unlocked on July 17, 2026
• 35% unlocks on August 17, 2026
• 40% unlocks on September 17, 2026
Beginning July 20, 2026, users could freely trade their certificates through the OPENAI/USDT trading pair in Gate's Pre-IPOs Market, where prices are determined entirely by market supply and demand.
The event also rewarded participants beyond the subscription itself.
Successful subscriptions exceeding 10,000 USD received a 1 GT Token Airdrop. VIP users enjoyed additional exclusive airdrops together with Simple Earn boosted returns, offering limited-time fixed-term APRs of up to 4%. Meanwhile, GUSD holders continued earning approximately 3.8% annualized minting rewards, distributed daily with fee-free fast redemption available during the campaign. Eligible Super Affiliates also received additional exclusive rewards.
Why has OpenAI attracted so much attention?
As the creator of ChatGPT and a leader in advanced artificial intelligence research, OpenAI has become one of the most influential technology companies globally. Supported by strategic investment from Microsoft and backed by an estimated valuation approaching 895 billion USD, its future IPO is widely expected to become one of the largest technology listings in history. That anticipation is exactly why many investors are seeking exposure before public markets open.
Joining Gate Pre-IPOs is straightforward. Complete KYC verification, maintain at least 100 USDT or 100 GUSD, and access Earn → Pre-IPOs through the Gate website or Earn → Launch → Pre-IPOs inside the mobile application whenever new subscription rounds become available.
As always, investors should remember that Pre-IPOs involve substantial risk. OpenAI has not announced an IPO date, prices may fluctuate significantly, and returns are never guaranteed. Every participant should carefully evaluate the product and invest only what they can afford to risk.
For investors who believe artificial intelligence will define the next decade, Gate Pre-IPOs continues to offer a unique way to explore opportunities before they reach traditional financial markets.
Stay prepared for the next subscription round and keep following official Gate announcements for future Pre-IPOs projects.
