Prediction market platform LONG has launched pre-IPO trading pairs for OpenAI and Anthropic, powered by Lighter.xyz perpetuals.
On day one, the paired tokens reached roughly $16M for OpenAI's CatGPT and $8M for Anthropic's AnthroPig. LONG also bootstrapped AI-themed paired pools (Anthropic 1x, OpenAI 1x, NVDA 3x) with a custom liquidity design scaled for early markets.
The team notes the product is experimental and will be iterated gradually — a sign of fast-growing crypto speculation on pre-IPO AI valuations.
