The JIOUSDT contract offers round-the-clock trading in USDT, allowing eligible users to speculate on Jio’s expected valuation without owning its shares.
Bitget has listed JIOUSDT, a pre-IPO perpetual futures contract linked to Jio Platforms, offering up to 20x leverage and 24/7 trading. Announced on October 14, the listing adds a derivative tied to Reliance Industries’ digital and telecommunications business.
The product provides a way to trade expectations surrounding Jio’s planned stock-market debut. However, buying this contract does not make someone a Jio shareholder or secure an IPO allotment.

How pre-IPO perpetual futures work
These derivatives allow traders to take long or short positions based on changing valuation expectations. They have no fixed expiry and use periodic funding payments.
Bitget’s product guide states that pre-IPO perpetual futures do not confer company ownership, voting rights, or shareholder protections. They are also not sponsored or endorsed by the companies they track.
Before public trading begins, there is no live listed-share price to follow. Bitget describes using a synthetic index for pre-IPO contracts, transitioning to a spot-based reference after listing and price stabilization. The futures price should therefore not be treated as an official IPO offer price.
What traders should watch
IPO delays, repricing, or cancellation can cause sharp changes in expectations. Leverage magnifies both losses and gains, while funding payments can affect holding costs. Access depends on eligibility and supported regions.
Bitget’s Jio announcement does not confirm an IPO subscription schedule or final offer price. Those details require separate official offering disclosures.
