They are described as cash-settled perpetual futures, meaning no physical delivery of shares takes place and positions are settled in cash based on a reference price tied to Anthropic’s implied valuation. U.S. residents are excluded from participation.
Contract Terms, Leverage & Confidentiality
The contracts offer up to 10x leverage, and a distinguishing feature is that individual positions are hidden from public view, meaning other market participants cannot see the size or direction of a given trader’s exposure.
Trade every asset. Confidentially.

Anthropic’s most recent disclosed funding round valued the company at $965 billion. As of the time of the launch, Trade.xyz showed a price of approximately $115.47 per contract with roughly $9.1 million in daily volume, while a separate liquidity pool showed a price of approximately $1,891 per contract with approximately $13.6 million in volume.
The price gap reflects different contract specifications, with one pool using an index of multiple share price references and the other treating a single asset unit.
Anthropic Financials & IPO Context
Anthropic’s revenue has grown rapidly: from $41 million in 2023 to $4.6 billion in 2025, and to $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026 alone. The company reported its first quarterly operating profit in 2026.
However, Anthropic also disclosed an $80.7 billion accounting loss driven by depreciation on compute obligations, and the company has committed to approximately $417 billion in compute spending over a five-month period.
Anthropic’s S-1 filed with the SEC targets a listing on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT at an approximately $2 trillion valuation, which would represent the largest IPO in U.S. history.
The NEAR perpetual futures allow investors outside the U.S. to express a view on Anthropic’s valuation ahead of the IPO.
