Injective Unveils $13T Blockchain Equity Markets

- Blockchain platform opens perpetual futures trading for private companies. - Targets $13 trillion private equity market with seamless decentralized contracts. Injective has launched groundbreaking pre-IPO perpetual futures markets on the blockchain. These markets allow users to trade on the estimated valuations of major private firms without expiration dates. This innovative initiative represents a significant stride in transitioning the $13 trillion private equity market to decentralized infrastructure. On October 1, 2025, The Block reported that this new trading model offers exposure to private companies such as OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic, and Perplexity. Unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts enable indefinite holding periods, giving traders sustained access to fluctuating private equity valuations. This launch builds on Injective’s August collaboration with Republic, an investment platform that delivers retail access to private companies. Throughout October, Injective plans to expand its offerings to include markets for other high-growth firms like Monzo, xAI, Revolut, Airtable, and Notion. These additions cater to sectors like Data & AI, which attracted over $100 billion in funding in 2024. The move follows a surge in interest in Injective’s trading products, as its real-world asset (RWA) perpetual futures generated over $1 billion in trading volume within 30 days. Helix, a decentralized application integral to Injective's infrastructure, will play a key role in enabling user access to these innovative pre-IPO markets. Notable investors like Jump Crypto, Pantera, and Mark Cuban back Injective, and Binance incubated the company. Injective remains steadfast in its mission to integrate private equity into blockchain-based trading. This development aligns with industry efforts to make decentralized financial instruments more accessible.
