OKX Launches Pre-IPO Perpetuals

OKX shattered barriers by launching pre-IPO pre-market perpetuals for SPACEX/USDT, OPENAI/USDT, and ANTHROPIC/USDT, letting retail traders dive into exposure for SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic via USDT for the first time. This move positions OKX as the sole Tier 1 exchange offering such access, exploding to over $400M in volume within hours of debut. Traders chasing pre-IPO perpetuals trading now flock here amid surging interest in crypto exposure to AI companies, especially as Bitcoin hovers in volatile territory. Over the past six months, similar launches have spiked liquidity in tech futures, but this edges out rivals by blending AI hype with seamless USDT integration, drawing parallels to BTC's institutional rush last fall.
