XYZ Launches Pre-IPO Perpetuals for 24/7 Price Discovery
XYZ has launched Pre-IPO Perpetuals (IPOP), a new type of perpetual contract designed for private companies preparing for a public listing.
How it works:
- Trades based on expected share price, not market cap
- Uses internal pricing before public listing
- Converts into a standard equity perpetual after IPO
IPOPs are cash-settled contracts, not tokenized equity, and do not provide shares, IPO allocations, dividends, or ownership rights. They allow users to trade exposure to a company’s expected public valuation before listing.
The first live IPOP market is Cerebras, one of the largest AI infrastructure companies preparing for a public listing.
