The prediction market for 2026 IPO announcements is experiencing its most dramatic moves yet, led by OpenAI's surge to 80¢ from 53¢ (+27¢) following yesterday's blockbuster $110 billion funding announcement. The ChatGPT maker now trades at $730 billion valuation ahead of what could be a blockbuster IPO later this year, making traders increasingly confident of an official announcement before December.

The IPO wave extends beyond OpenAI, with Discord jumping to 55¢ (+26¢) for an April announcement and SpaceX seeing complex cross-currents — its near-term July window fell to 65¢ (-14¢) while longer-dated contracts gained ground. The market is pricing in a clear sequence: OpenAI is reportedly in "informal talks" with banks on Wall Street about a "potential" IPO, suggesting the December window has real momentum behind it.
