How to Access Pre-IPO Tokens from Taiwan with OpenStocks
OpenStocks (openstocks.xyz) offers tokenized pre-IPO exposure on BNB Chain. What users in Taiwan can access, how to start, the risks and how to verify links.
OpenStocks (openstocks.xyz) is a BNB Chain platform that offers tokenized pre-IPO economic exposure to private companies such as Anthropic, Figure AI, Neuralink and Anduril. Each product is a BEP-20 token that tracks a private company's share price, and you trade it from your own wallet. Searches in Taiwan for private AI companies such as Anthropic have risen sharply in 2026 as IPO reports have grown. This guide covers what someone in Taiwan can and cannot do with OpenStocks, how to get started step by step, the main risks, and how to make sure you are on the official site.
As of 9 October 2026. Eligibility wording is based on the OpenStocks Terms of Service, last updated 24 September 2026.
Is OpenStocks available in Taiwan?
Taiwan is not named in the list of Prohibited Jurisdictions in the OpenStocks Terms of Service. The list does name the United States, Singapore and China (Mainland), among others.
That does not make access automatic. The same section also excludes "any other jurisdiction in which the Services are not offered, or in which offering or using the Services would be unlawful or would require a license, registration, or authorization that we do not hold." The Terms also say OpenStocks is not registered, licensed or authorised as a regulated financial entity in any jurisdiction. Rules for crypto-assets and tokenized products differ from place to place and can change, so check the rules that apply to you in Taiwan, and get independent advice if you are unsure.
Before you connect a wallet from Taiwan, the Terms require that all of the following are true:
You are at least 18 and old enough to form a binding contract where you live.
You are not a US person, and you are not a citizen or resident of, incorporated in, or physically located in any Prohibited Jurisdiction. Living in Taiwan does not change this: a US person, or a citizen or resident of Singapore or Mainland China, is still excluded.
You are not physically in the US, Singapore, Mainland China or another Prohibited Jurisdiction when you use the Services. Travelling changes where you are located.
You do not use a VPN, proxy or similar tool to get around any geoblocking. The Terms prohibit this.
You are not a sanctioned or otherwise restricted person.
Unlisted shares in Taiwan vs pre-IPO tokens
In Taiwan, "未上市股票" (unlisted shares) usually means shares in Taiwanese companies that are not listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or the Taipei Exchange. These are often sold in privately negotiated deals, and unsolicited offers to buy them deserve extra care. OpenStocks is something different: it does not sell shares in any company, Taiwanese or foreign.
Unlisted Taiwanese shares (未上市股票) | OpenStocks tokens | |
|---|---|---|
What you hold | Actual shares, transferred privately | A BEP-20 token tracking a private company's share price |
Companies | Taiwanese companies not on TWSE or TPEx | Anthropic, Figure AI, Neuralink, Anduril |
Shareholder rights | Usually yes, if the transfer is valid | None: no ownership, voting, dividend or information rights |
How you trade | Through intermediaries or the seller directly | From your own wallet on BNB Chain, around the clock |
Main risks | Pricing, transfer validity, scams | Total loss, thin liquidity, smart-contract risk, price vs mark gaps |
If you are looking for exposure to US private companies that are still years from a listing, or that are approaching one, OpenStocks is built for that. Chinese-language readers can see Anthropic 股票代號是什麼？ for where the Anthropic IPO stands, and RWA 是什麼？ for how tokenized stocks work.
What you get with OpenStocks
OpenStocks lists tokens that give price exposure to well-known private companies before they go public. The desk currently lists four:
Company | Token | What it tracks |
|---|---|---|
Anthropic | oANTHROPIC | Economic exposure to Anthropic's share price |
Figure AI | oFIGUREAI | Economic exposure to Figure AI's share price |
Neuralink | oNEURALINK | Economic exposure to Neuralink's share price |
Anduril | oANDURIL | Economic exposure to Anduril's share price |
The most important point: these tokens are not equity. Holding one does not make you a shareholder. You get no ownership, voting, dividend or information rights, and OpenStocks is not affiliated with, endorsed by or issued by Anthropic, Figure AI, Neuralink, Anduril or any other company it references. What OpenStocks tokens are not spells this out.
What you do get is a wallet-native way to follow a private company's price. You can trade around the clock with no minimum, the token sits in your own wallet, and every trade settles on BNB Chain. The desk shows the live token price, a reference mark price, the valuation that price implies and each token's contract address. For a full walkthrough of the product, read What is OpenStocks?
How to get started from Taiwan, step by step
Confirm you are eligible. Read the Terms of Service and check the list above. If any point does not apply to you, stop here.
Set up a self-custodial wallet that supports BNB Chain, such as MetaMask. Write your seed phrase down offline and never share it. See self-custodial wallets for pre-IPO tokens for why custody matters.
Add BNB Chain (BSC Mainnet) to the wallet. The app offers an "Add BSC Mainnet" option if your wallet does not have it yet.
Fund the wallet with USDT on BNB Chain and a little BNB for gas. Trades are priced in USDT, and BNB pays network fees. Only use services you are allowed to use where you live, and make sure you send BEP-20 USDT; tokens sent on the wrong network can be lost.
Open app.openstocks.xyz. Type the address yourself or use a bookmark. Do not use links from ads or direct messages.
Connect your wallet and pick a product. Compare the token price with the mark price and check the contract address before you trade.
Trade and confirm in your wallet. The swap executes on-chain, and the token lands in your own wallet. You can see your balances under Portfolio. How to trade pre-IPO tokens on OpenStocks has screenshots of each step.
Start small while you learn how prices, spreads and liquidity behave. Liquidity on these tokens can be thin, so a large order can move the price.
Risks to understand first
Total loss is possible. Private-company valuations can fall sharply, and the token price can move with them or away from them.
Liquidity is not guaranteed. There may be no buyer at the price you want, and spreads can be wide.
Price can differ from the mark. The on-chain token price can trade at a premium or discount to the reference mark price; token price vs mark price explains why.
No shareholder rights. An IPO, tender or funding round does not give you shares or allocation rights.
Smart-contract and wallet risk. Audits reduce risk but do not remove it, and a lost seed phrase cannot be recovered.
Regulatory and access risk. Rules can change, and the Terms allow OpenStocks to add Prohibited Jurisdictions or restrict access at any time, including for tokens you already hold.
Currency and tax. Tokens are priced in USDT, so your returns in local currency also depend on exchange rates. How gains are taxed depends on your circumstances; check with a tax adviser.
A longer list is in risks of tokenized pre-IPO exposure.
How to verify official OpenStocks links
Scam sites often copy well-known crypto brands, and the "openstocks" name is easy to mix up. OpenStocks is not openstocks.com, which is an AI earnings-forecast site, and it is not OpenStock, an open-source stock app. OpenStocks vs openstocks.com vs OpenStock explains the difference.
The official website is www.openstocks.xyz and the app is app.openstocks.xyz.
The official socials are X @openstocks_hq, LinkedIn /company/openstocks and Telegram t.me/OpenStocksOfficial.
Compare token contract addresses on BscScan with the addresses on the trade desk before you buy.
No real OpenStocks website, account or support agent will ever ask for your seed phrase, and OpenStocks does not cold-call or message people to sell tokens.
The full, current list of websites, socials and token contracts is in OpenStocks official links. Bookmark it and check it whenever a link looks unfamiliar. Related reading: How to access pre-IPO tokens from Hong Kong and Can non-US investors buy pre-IPO stocks?
