Solana Dominates Pre-IPO AI Token Market with 78% Volume Share
Solana has seized 78% of the pre-IPO token market, processing over $414 million in synthetic AI equity trading. With rival venue Ventuals shutting down its Hyperliquid offerings, Solana now virtually monopolizes pre-public valuation speculation for OpenAI and Anthropic. The surging on-chain activity highlights expanding institutional and retail appetite for tokenized real-world assets.
On-chain real-world asset trading is consolidating on Solana. Data from Allium Labs shows PreStocks on Solana has commandingly captured 78% of all secondary volume in pre-IPO OpenAI and Anthropic exposure, logging $414.7 million in cumulative transfers.
The competition is clearing out. Main rival Ventuals wound down its Hyperliquid markets in June, leaving Solana as the primary venue for 24/7 pre-listing equity exposure. While low liquidity days present price disparity risks against private funding valuations, trader appetite for pre-IPO AI plays remains relentless.
Institutional momentum is building fast alongside retail flow. BlackRock recently filed with the SEC to issue tokenized fund shares on Solana, reinforcing the network's position as the leading settlement layer for tokenized RWAs.
