IPO grey market is an unofficial market where IPO shares or applications are bought and sold before they become available for trading on the stock market.
-
These transactions are undertaken in cash on a one-on-one basis.

It is also termed as a parallel market or an over-the-counter market.

It’s an excellent opportunity for investors to purchase a company’s shares even before they are listed, especially if they feel that the company’s stock will increase in value.
