On 29 June 2026, Ultima Markets will expand its Contract for Difference (CFD) offerings with the launch of two new Pre-IPO products, OPENAIUSD and ANTHUSD. Available on the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform and the Ultima Markets App, these instruments offer retail traders unprecedented, 24/7 leveraged exposure to the two fiercest rivals in the artificial intelligence sector before they officially hit the public stock exchanges.
Market Context: The AI Crossroads
This launch arrives at a critical turning point for the AI sector. While global tech stocks are experiencing severe volatility due to mounting anxieties over the extreme infrastructure costs of artificial intelligence, private valuations for top-tier AI labs continue to defy the broader market cooling. By introducing Pre-IPO CFDs, Ultima Markets allows traders to speculate on these valuation swings in real-time.
About OpenAI
Open AI is a leading global artificial intelligence company and the developer of ChatGPT. The company provides advanced AI models and solutions that power applications across productivity, software development, content creation, and enterprise automation.
Why this CFD is high-stakes right now:
– Confidential Filing: OpenAI is reportedly advancing toward a potential $1 trillion valuation following confidential IPO filings.
– Financial Pressures: The massive valuation comes despite internal reports leaking a staggering $3.7 billion cash burn in Q1 2026 alone.
– Product Pipeline: Bullish market sentiment is heavily tied to the recent rollout of their highly anticipated GPT-5.5-Cyber model.
About Anthropic
Anthropic is an AI research and technology company focused on developing safe and reliable artificial intelligence systems. The company is recognised for its Claude family of AI models, which are designed for both enterprise and consumer use cases.
Why this CFD is high-stakes right now:
– IPO Move: Anthropic has officially filed for its own IPO, setting up a direct race with OpenAI to Wall Street.
– Regulatory Shock: The company is navigating a sudden federal export directive that forced a temporary suspension of its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, creating sharp, tradable volatility for the asset.
