According to PANews, TradeXYZ launched a Pre-IPO Perpetuals market on May 1, offering continuous trading around anticipated public offerings of companies preparing for IPO. The product provides price discovery and trading mechanisms before official listing and does not constitute stock, IPO allocations, tokenized equity, or securities. Users hold no ownership, voting, dividend rights, or claims on the underlying company.
The market employs an internal pricing mechanism similar to Hyperliquid, independent of external spot markets or oracle data, with prices determined by market activity. Once the target company lists and sufficient external market data becomes available, Pre-IPO perpetual contracts will automatically convert to standard externally-priced perpetual contracts, with positions continuing but potential immediate P&L changes or liquidations. If listing does not occur as expected, the market will settle according to preset rules using mechanisms such as TWAP.
