Overview
- OKX, which disclosed the plan Wednesday in a blog post, said it will list perpetual futures referencing OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic.
- The contracts track secondary-market valuations and settle without delivering shares, so traders post collateral and manage margin without gaining voting rights or dividends.
- The exchange did not set a launch date and said it will share more operational and compliance details as development continues.
- Rivals have moved first, with Bitget launching a SpaceX-linked token in April via Republic and Injective offering pre-IPO futures last year to tap a roughly $13 trillion private market.
- Issuers have pushed back on related products, as OpenAI said Robinhood’s SPV-backed tokens were unaffiliated and warned any transfer of company equity would require its approval.
