Anthropic tokenized pre-IPO perpetual volume reaches $643 million as IPO pricing test nears

AI Market Summary
Anthropic pre-IPO perpetuals are seeing rapid growth ($643M Sept. volume; ~$80M OI), but the lack of a public share price leaves valuation entirely synthetic. An eventual IPO (or delay) introduces basis risk as exchanges transition mark pricing toward an external equity index, potentially forcing abrupt repricing and shifting collateral/liquidation dynamics. A modest dip on listing-delay reports highlights rising sensitivity to IPO timetable signals.
