BloFin Futures launches OPENAIUSDT and ANTHROPICUSDT pre-IPO perpetual contracts on July 6, 2026, with limited-time fee discounts on both pairs.
Crypto derivatives exchange BloFin has introduced pre-IPO perpetual contracts tied to OpenAI and Anthropic. The new products, listed as OPENAIUSDT and ANTHROPICUSDT, went live on BloFin Futures at 9:00 UTC on July 6, 2026, across both web and mobile app interfaces.
Each contract uses USDT as the settlement asset and assumes an estimated share count of 1 billion shares for both OpenAI and Anthropic. The contract size is 0.01, with price quotation also set at 0.01 contract value calculated in USDT equivalent, and a tick size of 0.01. Traders can apply leverage from 1x to 20x, with funding fees settled every eight hours and trading available 24/7.
To mark the listing, BloFin is offering zero maker fees and a 50% discount on taker fees for the first 48 hours after launch. During this promotional window, taker fees can drop to as low as 0.03%.
Pre-IPO Risk Considerations
BloFin stressed that the actual total share count, valuation, and IPO timing for both companies remain uncertain. The opening price of the perpetual contracts may trade above or below the assumed IPO price per share. The estimated share count is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute a recommendation or valuation guarantee. If the actual share count differs at the time of an IPO, the contract size will be adjusted accordingly.
The exchange also noted that perpetual futures prices are driven by market supply and demand and may not accurately reflect the eventual post-IPO stock price. BloFin does not guarantee that either pre-IPO perpetual contract will result in a completed IPO. If an IPO is cancelled, BloFin reserves the right to delist or settle the contracts at a price determined at its sole discretion, which may differ materially from entry prices.
Pre-IPO perpetuals can experience significantly higher short-term volatility than perpetuals on already-listed equities, the firm warned. Once an IPO is completed for either underlying company, BloFin will transition the relevant contract into a standard stock perpetual. A separate announcement will detail the transition timeline and terms, and users who do not wish to hold the standard contract should close their positions before the transition takes effect.
