3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will OpenAI's IPO valuation be between $2.25T and $2.5T? — the market puts it at 6%, with $8 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The Yes outcome occurs if OpenAI’s IPO valuation falls between $2.25 trillion and $2.5 trillion based on its final prospectus with the SEC. The No outcome applies if the valuation is outside this range or if the company does not complete an IPO by December 31, 2027. Readers often mistake current funding valuations or post-listing stock prices for the official resolution metric.
• Will OpenAI's valuation hit (HIGH) $1.5T by December 31? — the market puts it at 14%, with $597 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 5 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Nasdaq Private Market reports a valuation of $1.5 trillion or higher on any trading day by December 31, 2026. If Nasdaq stops publishing data before that date, the resolution relies on the last available private data plus public market capitalization after an IPO.
• Before 2027 — the market puts it at 10%, with $207 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if OpenAI raises the price of ChatGPT Pro or Plus between December 19, 2024, and January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if no such price increase occurs within that window. Readers often mistake the start date, which is fixed at December 19, 2024, rather than an earlier announcement or rumor.
