PreStocks creates live private markets

The real prize in private markets is not just cheaper trading, it is becoming the place where the market learns what these assets are worth. In traditional secondaries, prices are scattered across brokers, SPVs, and one off deals that can take weeks or months to close. PreStocks turns that into a live market on Solana, where more holders, venues, and transactions can continuously sharpen the reference price for names like OpenAI or SpaceX.1 2 3 4 5

• Private market price data is weak by design. EquityZen describes a market splintered across intermediaries, while Caplight’s role has been to aggregate pricing from around the secondary market because no single tape exists. That is why a venue that concentrates order flow can create outsized informational value, not just trading revenue.2 5
• PreStocks product design is built around making more trades happen. Tokens are fractional, tradable 24/7, transferable across Solana apps, and meant to abstract away the paperwork and custom fee structures of SPV deals. More small trades from more venues means more datapoints, which matters much more in private assets than in public stocks that already have deep continuous markets.1 3 4
• This is also the core competitive split. EquityZen is pushing private market data into Yahoo Finance and lowering minimums, while Monark is wiring private assets into brokerages and wealth apps. Both are trying to reduce opacity and widen access, but PreStocks goes further by making the asset itself natively tradable onchain instead of showing delayed marketplace signals around offchain transactions.2 6 7

The next step is a private market stack where pricing, trading, and collateral all sit on top of the same live asset. If PreStocks keeps adding venues and liquidity, it can shift from being a wrapper on private shares to becoming the default price layer that other brokers, wallets, and financial apps use to value pre IPO exposure.1 3 7
