What Are Pre-Launch Futures?
A Pre-Launch Futures market offers users the opportunity to trade futures on tokens that have not launched yet. Traditionally, gaining access to assets before their official launch has been a privilege reserved for early contributors, VCs or wealthy insiders. Helix is aiming to disrupt this closed system by allowing the decentralized trading of popular upcoming tokens prior to their official launch or listing on a public cryptocurrency exchange.
The previous listings on the Pre-Launch Futures featured highly awaited tokens such as Celestia (TIA) token, Pyth Network (PYTH) token and LayerZero (ZRO) token. Now the JUP Perpetual market emerges as the latest addition to Helix's Pre-Launch Futures, ushering in a dedicated market for the imminent JUP token launch.
