According to CoinMeta, after the artificial intelligence (AI) giant Anthropic submitted its application, the predicted trading volume in the prediction market surged, and retail investors are awaiting the opening bell expected to ring next month. The binary bets of "yes" or "no" in the prediction market have influenced the speculative behavior of retail investors, allowing them to place bets on the closing price and listing location without having to purchase stocks. Michael Ashley Schulman, a partner at Cerity Partners, stated that the attention surrounding Anthropic IPO in the prediction market is equivalent to people lining up outside Apple stores before the release of a new iPhone. More than a dozen trading markets have emerged on the Polymarket platform regarding this event, with traders placing bets on the fundraising scale, listing exchange, and initial public offering valuation. Competitor Kalshi's platform has also attracted a large amount of betting, covering aspects such as underwriters and industry index providers, totaling tens of millions of dollars in trading volume. Schulman pointed out that this is a positive sign of strong market interest and may help to lock in the final opening price of the public market.
