Bitget is letting traders speculate on a company before it even goes public.
The exchange has launched JIOUSDT, a pre IPO perpetual contract tied to Jio Platforms.
Reliance Industries’ digital arm is reportedly targeting a $3.5B IPO at a $106B valuation, potentially making it India’s largest ever listing.
But here’s the interesting part.
Traders can gain exposure to the market’s expectations before the actual shares become publicly available.
Personally, I think pre IPO perps are an interesting expansion of crypto derivatives. They bring traditional private market narratives into a market that never sleeps.
But there’s a catch.
A perpetual contract is not the same as owning Jio shares. Traders are speculating on the contract’s price, and its pricing may not perfectly track any eventual IPO valuation or listing price.
That means liquidity, funding rates and price discovery matter even more.
The real question is whether these products become a serious bridge between crypto trading and traditional markets, or simply another high leverage speculation tool.
Would you trade a company before its IPO?
