Crypto derivatives traders are positioning around Anthropic’s prospective public listing, with open interest in futures linked to the developer of Claude reaching approximately $79.27 million, according to CryptoSlate. The figure is close to the reported record of $80 million and reflects market activity ahead of a potential IPO. Anthropic’s possible valuation of $2 trillion would make the offering one of the largest initial public offerings ever if it proceeds at that level. The derivatives activity has emerged before any public debut, creating a crypto-market venue for traders to express views on the company’s prospective listing. The available information does not indicate when Anthropic might go public or provide details on the contracts’ direction, pricing, or settlement. The futures are linked to Anthropic rather than to the crypto assets listed in related market data.
