OKX Launches AI Valuation Futures in Europe with Up to 10x Leverage

Crypto exchange OKX has launched pre-IPO perpetual futures tied to OpenAI and Anthropic for eligible European traders. The products allow traders to speculate on the private valuations of these AI companies without owning any shares.

The contracts, known as X-Perps, track implied valuations rather than publicly listed prices and can be traded with up to 10 times leverage. OKX CEO Erald Ghoos noted that these markets have traditionally been out of reach for most European retail traders through traditional brokerages.

In addition to the pre-IPO contracts, OKX has also added 100 tokenized stock and ETF markets, including Google, Nvidia, and Palantir. These tokens can be traded at any time and provide price exposure only, without granting ownership or voting rights.
