Gate schedules OpenAI subscription window for July 15-17
Digital asset trading platform Gate said it will launch subscriptions for OpenAI (OPENAI), the second project in its Pre-IPOs series, from 15:00 on July 15, 2026 to 15:00 on July 17, 2026 (UTC+8). Users can subscribe with either USDT or GUSD.
The platform set the total subscription value at about $20 million. It will issue 27,700 OPENAI asset certificates at a price of $722 per certificate. The minimum participation amount is 100 USDT or 100 GUSD. Gate said the sale will not charge embedded fees or custody fees.
Asset certificate structure and unlock schedule
Gate described the OPENAI asset certificate as a mirrored pre-IPO note tied to OpenAI’s value before and after a public listing. The company said it will hedge its exposure by obtaining related shares. It also plans to offer pre-market trading, long-term holding, and future conversion routes into stock assets, stock tokens, or USDT.
Allocation will be calculated based on the “hourly average locked amount.” Gate said earlier participation and a longer lock-up period will carry more weight. The certificates will unlock in three batches on July 17, August 17, and September 17. Pre-market trading is scheduled to start on July 20.
OpenAI background and Gate’s related incentives
In its announcement, Gate said OpenAI has helped drive the development of generative AI through products such as ChatGPT. It also said the company has received investment from Microsoft and others, and currently carries an implied market valuation of about $895 billion.
During the same period, Gate is offering VIP and super agent airdrops, GT rewards, and a 3.8% annualized minting yield for GUSD.
Broader stock and tokenized asset push
Gate added that it has already rolled out Pre-IPOs, IPO Access, Gate Stocks, and gStocks. According to the platform, those products cover U.S., Hong Kong, and South Korean equities, with access to more than 12,500 stocks and ETFs.
The company said it plans to keep expanding its global asset offering, including ETFs and real-world assets, or RWA, while linking traditional finance with on-chain assets through a one-stop investment service for global users.
