What is Coin Premarket?

Coin Premarket, commonly known in Chinese as 盘前交易, is an innovative trading format that allows users to participate in buying and selling before the coin officially launches. This mechanism creates the possibility for users to “buy in early and wait for a surge upon launch.”

Typically, after a new coin is listed on an exchange, there is a phenomenon of rapid price increases due to a surge in demand. Coin Premarket provides a trading entry point before this upward trend.

How does Gate implement Premarket trading?

On the Gate platform, Premarket is an over-the-counter matching mechanism. Users can see a list of upcoming coins in the Premarket area on the Gate website and can directly participate in buying or selling in the form of limit orders.

Once the coin officially launches on the Gate trading zone (such as the spot trading zone), the premarket order system will end, and any unexecuted orders will be canceled or liquidated.

The features of Gate’s Premarket include:

• Support USDT pricing for easier pricing.
• The trading time is flexible, usually open a few days before the launch;
• No leverage, no forced liquidation, providing users with a more stable trading environment;
• Price transparency and market-based trading.

The advantages and risks of Premarket

Advantages:

• Seize the opportunity: Enter before the coin’s popularity surges;
• High volatility: large price fluctuations, greater potential for profit.
• Flexible trading: Prices can be adjusted or exited at any time based on market information.

Risk:

• High project uncertainty: The coin has not been launched, lacking market liquidity;
• Price correction risk: it may not necessarily rise after going live;
• Information asymmetry: It is difficult for ordinary investors to obtain first-hand information.

Current hot project: AI3 opens pre-trading.

The recently launched Premarket project AI3 by Gate is a DePIN protocol focusing on AI 3.0. It integrates computing, storage, and consensus as infrastructure, aimed at serving super dApps and AI native agents. Users can currently place orders in advance to buy AI3 “points” using USDT pricing on Gate’s Premarket page, getting a head start in this emerging track.

Although the total amount of tokens has not been announced, the design of 1 billion points indicates that the project is still in the early ecological cold start stage, which also means greater gaming space and potential dividends.
