Defillama Expands Pre-IPO Perpetual Markets for Top Private Companies
- Defillama now tracks 14 pre-IPO perpetual markets across SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Quantinuum.
- Aster logged about $68 billion and Lighter recorded around $50 billion in a recent span of 30-day perpetual DEX volume.
- SpaceX is expected to price its IPO around June at a valuation near $1.75 trillion.
- The new markets allow traders to take leveraged positions on synthetic prices tied to each company’s expected valuation.
- SpaceX has six tracked markets, while OpenAI and Anthropic each have three, and Quantinuum has two.
Defillama’s addition of pre-IPO perpetual futures markets for SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Quantinuum allows traders to speculate on the valuations of these private firms before they go public. This development comes amid a growing interest in decentralized exchanges for trading derivatives.
With SpaceX’s anticipated IPO set for June at an estimated $1.75 trillion valuation, these synthetic markets provide access to private-company valuations traditionally limited to venture capitalists.Source
