Metacritic futures to debut with New Year

Metacritic Futures for some highly anticipated games will begin IPOs with the New Year.

Metacritic Futures will debut in two-phase IPOs. IPO Phase 1 is a 48 hour period of trading without automated market making to determine the IPO Phase 2 price. Advanced trading mode is required to place orders in IPO Phase 1. After IPO Phase 1, the futures contracts will enter IPO Phase 2 in which the bid and ask prices will be fixed all day.
