OKX to List Perpetual Futures Tied to OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic

The plan signals a shift into pre-IPO bets beyond core crypto pairs.

Overview

  • OKX said it will launch perpetual futures that reference OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic, giving traders synthetic exposure to those private valuations.
  • The exchange said the contracts track secondary-market pricing and settle without delivering shares, so buyers do not get equity or voting rights.
  • OKX described the products as margin-based perpetual derivatives and said it has not disclosed a launch date yet.
  • Other platforms moved earlier, with Injective offering similar futures last year and Bitget listing a SpaceX-linked Solana token in April through Republic.
  • The expansion has drawn caution from target firms, highlighted by OpenAI’s past warning that a Robinhood SPV token did not have its approval and that any equity transfer would need company sign-off.
