In addition to secondary market trading, more and more investors are turning their attention to pre-IPO investment opportunities. As global capital markets continue to evolve, IPO subscriptions have become an increasingly important strategy for many investors. Gate is committed to enhancing its stock investment ecosystem, and now introduces the second phase of IPO Access featuring Jersey Mike’s (JMKE). This allows users to participate in the public offering process directly through the platform, providing a seamless investment experience both before and after a company goes public.
Gate IPO Access Phase 2: Jersey Mike’s Subscription Now Open
Gate is excited to announce the official launch of the second phase of IPO Access, opening subscription for Jersey Mike’s (JMKE). Eligible users can submit their subscription applications using USDT or GUSD during the event period for a chance to receive an allocation in this IPO. Once the stock is officially listed, trading will be available on the Gate stock market.
The subscription window opens on July 27, 2026, at 02:00 UTC and closes on July 29, 2026, at 02:00 UTC.
IPO Subscription Methods and Participation Criteria
For this Jersey Mike’s (JMKE) IPO, users can subscribe using either USDT or GUSD. The indicative price range is $21 to $25 per share, with the final offering price determined by the actual IPO pricing. Each user can subscribe with a minimum of 100 USDT or 100 GUSD, and up to a maximum of 500,000 USDT or 500,000 GUSD. There are no additional handling fees throughout the subscription process. USDT and GUSD each have their own independent subscription pools, with each pool representing 50% of the total allocation.
How the Allocation Mechanism Works
This event uses an indicative subscription model. The platform calculates allocation weight based on each user’s average hourly locked amount during the subscription period. The earlier and longer you participate, the higher your accumulated allocation weight. However, Gate may adjust the process based on overall market demand. If subscription demand surges, the subscription window may close earlier than scheduled.
Submitting an Indication of Interest Does Not Guarantee Allocation
Please note that this is an indication of interest process. Submitting an application does not guarantee you will receive an allocation. The final outcome may be a full allocation, partial allocation, or no allocation at all. Actual distribution depends on the IPO results, the allocation obtained by the platform, and the subscription status of all users. If the platform does not receive any allocation, USDT subscribers will receive an annualized interest subsidy of 3.8% on their locked funds. GUSD subscribers will continue to earn an annualized yield of 3.8% during the subscription period.
Expected Stock Distribution and Trading Arrangements
After allocation is finalized, the relevant shares are expected to be distributed before the IPO listing date, with an estimated distribution date of July 30, 2026. Shares will be credited directly to users’ Gate stock accounts. There is no lock-up period for these shares—they are 100% unlocked. Once the stock is officially listed, you can trade it on the Gate stock section. Actual listing and crediting times will depend on the final IPO schedule.
