Is now a good time for individual investors to participate in tokenized pre-IPO equity markets?
Ondo Finance will launch subscriptions for its new OpenAI Private Market Note, labeled OPAIPon, during the week of November 2, 2026. This offering provides tokenized exposure to OpenAI, which currently holds a private market valuation exceeding $150 billion.
Why it matters
This structure enables investors to bypass traditional retail broker markups and long legal settlement times associated with private equity. By wrapping exposure into a standardized token, the firm aims to streamline access to high-growth assets.
The OpenAI Private Market Note operates using the OPAIPon ticker and is available on decentralized order books. This launch follows the previous tokenization of 440 U.S. stocks and ETFs by Ondo Finance.
