Can ordinary people also "get on board early"? Gate Pre-IPO has taken away VC's bread and butter?
In the past, things like Pre-IPO were basically "circle of friends assets"—it's not that you don't have money, but that you lack the network. Now Gate has directly torn down this door and conveniently paved a highway for you.
Simply put, the core of this approach is: digitizing "good companies that haven't gone public yet" in advance, allowing you to participate with a lower threshold. What does it sound like? It’s very much like an "internal test version" of an IPO.
Who am I most looking forward to? If I had to choose, I would focus on three types of unicorns:
First type: AI infrastructure companies (computing power, model platforms)—once listed, their valuation can easily skyrocket;
Second type: Web3 native projects—they are inherently suitable for on-chain circulation and naturally compatible;
Third type: Fintech—once compliance is achieved, their explosive potential is very high.
Compared to traditional IPOs, the advantages of this mechanism can be summarized in three words: early, light, fast
* Early: positioning before market discovery
* Light: lower participation threshold
* Fast: more flexible liquidity
But don’t get carried away; the biggest problem here is actually: valuation opacity + information asymmetry. In other words, getting on board early might also mean being the one to get off first.
As for whether to allocate to "coin-stock linkage," my answer is: yes, but don’t go all in.
Treat it as a high-risk, high-reward "offensive position," not as a pension fund.
In a nutshell:
This is not an entry point for retail investors to reverse the trend, but a tool for "knowledgeable people to amplify returns." #Gate上线Pre-IPOs
