Binance’s Anthropic Pre-IPO Contract Falls 8.4% to $1,686.57

Binance’s Anthropic pre-IPO perpetual fell 8.40% over 24 hours to $1,686.57 at 7:14 a.m. ET (11:14 UTC) Oct. 30, four days after Anthropic filed public IPO papers. The timing alone does not establish that the filing caused the decline. Applying Binance’s estimated one billion shares to the contract quote implies a value of about $1.69 trillion. That is roughly 75% above Anthropic’s $965 billion post-money valuation for its May Series H round, but the two figures are not equivalent. The share-count estimate is provisional and may change.
