OKX to Launch Perpetual Futures Contracts Tracking Private Company Valuations

OKX plans to introduce perpetual futures contracts tied to private companies like OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic, allowing traders to speculate on valuations without owning shares. These contracts will track reference prices based on secondary market activity, offering exposure to high-profile tech firms. The move aligns OKX with other platforms offering pre-IPO market access.
