MNX has launched futures tied to the valuations of OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek and Moonshot, giving traders a way to take positions without owning shares, TokenPost reports.
Why it mattersThe contracts are due to settle at the end of 2027. Their valuation rules rely on qualifying funding rounds, fund valuations or secondary-market transactions; MNX may set the price as a last resort. Initial margin is one-third, allowing roughly three times exposure before other limits apply. These are bets on valuation outcomes, not a new route to owning private AI companies. That distinction matters when the underlying prices are harder to observe than those of publicly traded shares.
Discuss: Should markets offer leveraged bets on private AI company valuations when the underlying prices can be difficult to establish?
