Trade Anthropic and Open AI at up to 5x leverage before their IPOs: Kraken pre-IPO perps are now live
TL;DR
Kraken has listed pre-IPO perpetuals on ANTHROPIC (Anthropic PBC, or “Anthropic”) and OPENAI (OpenAI Group PBC, or “OpenAI”), so you can go long or short on Anthropic or OpenAI exposure before they go public.
Trade with up to 5x leverage and multi-collateral (flex) margin, with no expiry. Not available in the US, EEA, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.
Pricing uses a purpose-built Kraken PreMarket Synthetic index that is smoothed and tightly bounded, designed to resist flash liquidations in a thin, early market.
If and when Anthropic and OpenAI complete their IPOs, Kraken intends to convert the contracts to standard tokenized-equity-style pricing, and contract specifications are expected to change.
