OPENAI perps: long or short OpenAI from a self-custodial wallet
An OPENAI perpetual tracks the implied valuation of OpenAI through an oracle and settles in USDC. A pre-IPO perp is a derivative on implied company valuation, quoted in points where one point is one billion dollars. You hold no shares, no cap-table position, no information rights and no claim if the company lists; the position is a contract between traders, settled in USDC. As of September 2026 this market is carried by AsterDex, Lighter and Hyperliquid in our catalog, and the order ticket is the same one you use for every other market in the app.

Where an OPENAI order goes
OPENAI is listed on more than one of the venues we route to: AsterDex, Lighter and Hyperliquid. That is the argument for choosing a venue per order rather than per account, because funding, depth and fees on the same asset are not the same across venues. You hold one USDC balance and pick where the order fills.

When this market is open
This market never closes. There is no underlying exchange session, so positions can be opened, funded and liquidated at any hour, weekends included.
Custody stays with you
Margin sits in a self-custodial embedded wallet, keys stay on your device, and Hypertradeworx never takes possession of your funds. Signing happens on your side for every order, which is also why the app can route to several venues without you holding an account at any of them.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I own OpenAI when I trade this market?
- A pre-IPO perp is a derivative on implied company valuation, quoted in points where one point is one billion dollars. You hold no shares, no cap-table position, no information rights and no claim if the company lists; the position is a contract between traders, settled in USDC.
- Which venue fills an OPENAI order?
- AsterDex, Lighter and Hyperliquid all list it, and you choose per order. The app shows the market on each venue so you can compare before you send.
- Can I short OPENAI?
- Yes. Long and short are symmetric on a perpetual: the same ticket, the same margin either way, and no borrow to locate. That symmetry is the main practical reason to use a perp rather than buying the underlying.
- Do I need an account or KYC with the venue?
- No venue account. You trade from a self-custodial wallet funded with USDC. Whether the product is available to you, and any obligations that follow, depend on your jurisdiction and are yours to check.
