Anthropic pre-IPO perpetual volume hits $643M as IPO repricing risk looms

  • —Anthropic pre-IPO perpetual volume hit $643M through Sept. 21, versus $590M for all of August
  • —Anthropic-linked open interest stood near $80M at the September snapshot
  • —Binance open interest rose 88% in 30 days to $31.2M from $16.6M
  • —Combined Anthropic and OpenAI pre-IPO perpetual OI topped $160M, up from about $1M in April
Why it matters: An Anthropic IPO would introduce a real share price, and convergence with the crypto-implied valuation could shift margin, collateral and liquidation levels.
