What is the difference between a pre-sale and a pre-IPO? I've been in the crypto space for a while now, and I've done a lot of degen trading and even a bit of DeFi. To crown it all, I've bought more pre-sale tokens and seen returns of up to 3x and even 5x (Still remember jellyjelly like yesterday). So, I'm trying to explain myself so you will understand how much I know about pre-sales, but pre-IPO seems different to me, as I only heard about it when a friend was literally begging me to participate in the SpaceX pre-IPO on Bitget Pre-IPO Prime then.
It later did massive numbers. I think when it was eventually listed on the public market, its ATH was around $225, and my friend had subscribed at a price of $140, meaning he almost got 2x the allocation price he paid. To me, that's still better than nothing.
Now that it's Anthropic (Claude AI) everyone is talking about and saying it's going public in the next few days, I really want to explore its pre-IPO, as it seems like another route for eligible traders to explore early IPO allocation opportunities. What would be your advice for me if you had explored this same path before?
One thing that helps me make decision in times like these' "time in the market beats timing the market."
Both those who believe they'll but when the share price will dip after listing and those who don't believe in IPO's can both benefit from this philosophy.
