OKX to Launch Perpetual Futures Tracking OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic Valuations
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

OKX announces perpetual futures contracts tracking OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic valuations via secondary market prices. These settle without shares, ownership, or rights. Traders gain synthetic exposure to private AI and space tech firms, like Bitget and Injective products. OKX also partners with Ondo Finance for tokenized stocks and new equity futures.

Crypto exchange OKX announced plans to launch perpetual futures contracts that track the valuations of OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic. The firm made the announcement on Wednesday, positioning the derivatives as a way for traders to gain synthetic exposure to private company valuations in the tech sector.

The contracts will follow reference prices derived from secondary market activity. They settle without the delivery of actual shares and provide no equity ownership or associated shareholder rights, including voting privileges or dividend payments. No specific launch timeline has been provided by OKX.

This development places OKX alongside other crypto platforms that have introduced similar pre-IPO trading options. Bitget launched its IPO Prime platform in April to offer such exposure, while Injective introduced pre-IPO perpetual futures last year.

The targeted companies represent major players in artificial intelligence and space technology. OpenAI, known for developing ChatGPT, and Anthropic, the creator of Claude, stand as leading privately held AI firms. SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk for space exploration, is preparing for a potential IPO and has recently merged with Musk's AI venture xAI.

Previous attempts to offer retail exposure to these private valuations have encountered resistance from the companies involved. Robinhood's earlier effort with OpenAI-linked tokens, supported by a special purpose vehicle holding secondary shares, prompted OpenAI to clarify that it had no affiliation with the product. More recently, Robinhood Ventures committed $75 million to the AI startup, enabling retail investors to gain indirect exposure through shares in the fund. AngelList has also introduced its USVC fund, which provides access to OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI investments beginning at $500.
In addition to the pre-IPO perpetual futures, OKX revealed plans for tokenized stock trading facilitated by a partnership with Ondo Finance. The exchange will also introduce new equity perpetual futures for trading.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

VW Weighs Up To 100,000 Job Cuts and Core Brand Spin-Off

Volkswagen Group is considering up to 100,000 global job cuts, four German plant closures after current programs end, and spinning off its core brand into a standalone entity. The restructuring would rank among the company’s largest ever as it grapples with a 44 percent profit decline and heightened competition.

Fire Engulfs Process Unit at Pennsylvania Refinery Owned by Delta Air Lines

A large fire broke out at Monroe Energy's Trainer refinery in Pennsylvania on June 25, prompting a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents. The Delta Air Lines subsidiary reports no community health risks from its air monitoring, while firefighters continue battling the blaze that started in a process unit pump room.

Sunrun, Tesla, Renew Home form 16 GW distributed power plant

Sunrun, Tesla, and Renew Home will aggregate more than 16 GW of home batteries and smart devices into the largest U.S. distributed power plant, targeting data center demand driven by AI. Sunrun shares rose as much as 26 percent on the news as investors anticipate recurring revenue.
