Trade.xyz to Launch Pre-IPO Stock Perpetual Contracts

Trade.xyz has announced plans to introduce Pre-IPO stock perpetual contracts, according to Foresight News. These contracts will reflect the prices of companies preparing for public listing, rather than representing actual shares. The platform stated that the opening prices will be based on the company's most recent public funding rounds, disclosed valuations, IPO documents, or other relevant public information. Before the target company goes public, the Pre-IPO perpetual contract market will operate using a mechanism similar to Hyperp. Once the company completes its public listing, the corresponding perpetual contract market will transition to a standard external pricing perpetual contract based on the listed stock. This conversion will occur when there is sufficient external market data to support standard oracle pricing.
