Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 20. July 2026 · Predicted for 31. December 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event
Probability
60%

OpenAI filed a confidential S-1 with the SEC on June 8, 2026. Polymarket prices the completion of an OpenAI IPO by December 31, 2026 at 71% (~$3 billion in trading volume on this question). The public S-1 filing is expected by August 31, 2026 in an existing Cassandra open prediction. Typical timeline: public S-1 → 30-day SEC review → 2–3 week roadshow → listing. Scenario: S-1 by August 31 → listing October–December 2026 is realistic. Risk: market uncertainty (Iran escalation, Brent volatility), regulatory delays, or OpenAI's own hesitation ('hasn't decided on timing'). Own estimate: 60% (slightly more conservative than Polymarket due to tight timing requirements).

Data basis for this prediction
  • Polymarket: 71% für OpenAI IPO bis 31.12.2026 (ca. 3 Mrd. USD Marktvolumen) – Stand 20.07.2026
  • LetsDatascience.com: 'Polymarket prices OpenAI IPO at 71¢' – Stand 20.07.2026
  • SEC EDGAR: OpenAI vertraulicher S-1 eingereicht 8. Juni 2026 (bestätigt durch Medienberichte)
