Bitget Taps $4T AI Market With OpenAI Listing on IPO Prime

Operating out of Victoria, Seychelles, Bitget has officially added OpenAI to its IPO Prime platform as of May 18, 2026. Recognized as the world's largest Universal Exchange, Bitget introduced the preOPAI asset as the second listing on this specialized platform. The initiative is designed to provide users with pre-IPO access to OpenAI, which remains one of the most closely watched companies in the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence industry.[1][2]

The new listing aims to capitalize on a broader artificial intelligence market opportunity that is estimated to be worth four trillion dollars. By offering pre-IPO access, the exchange allows participants to engage with the financial trajectory of the prominent AI developer before its shares become available on traditional public stock markets.[1][2]

To facilitate this offering, the preOPAI asset has been issued on the Solana blockchain network. The issuance was conducted by Republic, a regulated partner working alongside Bitget. The preOPAI instrument is specifically structured to track the underlying entity, providing a mechanism for early exposure to the artificial intelligence firm.[1][2]
