Crypto Traders Value Anthropic Above $2 Trillion Before Its Stock Even Exists

Anthropic remains a private company, but crypto traders are already pricing the Claude developer at an implied valuation of roughly $2.12 trillion through synthetic pre-IPO perpetual contracts.

Binance’s ANTHROPIC/USDT contract recently traded near $2,120. Which using the exchange’s assumed 1 billion-share count implies a valuation more than double Anthropic’s $965 billion valuation from its May funding round. Similar contracts are trading across several major crypto platforms. However, these products are not Anthropic shares and provide no ownership in the company. They are derivatives allowing traders to speculate on its potential future valuation. With some offering leverage of up to 20x. Anthropic has also warned that unauthorized tokenized or SPV-based products claiming exposure to its equity could ultimately have no value. With a potential IPO reportedly being discussed around $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, the eventual public listing will provide the real test of whether crypto markets have accurately priced one of the world’s most valuable AI companies.
