## About Anthropic (Pre-IPO) (ANTHROPIC)

Anthropic is the AI safety lab behind Claude and a high-profile private company. Trade a pre-IPO Anthropic perp on Lighter, zero-fee on a verifiable ZK order book.

## Trading Anthropic (Pre-IPO) Perpetuals on Lighter

On Lighter, Anthropic (Pre-IPO) trades as the **ANTHROPIC** perpetual — no expiry, with collateral and PnL settled in USDC. Standard accounts pay **0% maker and taker fees**, and Lighter offers up to **5x leverage** on this market. Every fill is matched on a fully verifiable ZK order book, so matching and liquidations are proven rather than trusted — see [what Lighter DEX is](https://lighterpedia.com/ecosystem/what-is-lighter) for how that works. Because it's a perpetual, you can trade Anthropic (Pre-IPO) long or short around the clock — including when the underlying market is closed.

## How is the ANTHROPIC perp different from owning Anthropic?

There is no spot leg here at all. Anthropic is private, so there is no share you can buy, no custody question and no public reference price to arbitrage against. The contract tracks a valuation set by Lighter's own internal pricing mechanism rather than an external oracle, and unlike some other RWA markets it runs without price caps, so the quote can move sharply in either direction. Funding still works the way it does on any Lighter perpetual, with periodic payments between longs and shorts pulling the contract back toward its reference. Positions resolve after the company goes public or once fully diluted share counts are settled, which means your exit date is set by an external event rather than by a contract expiry.

## What should you know before trading ANTHROPIC?

The numbers that decide whether a ANTHROPIC position survives are the margin ones, not the fee ones. Trading is free at 0% maker and 0% taker on a standard account, so the cost of being wrong is entirely margin and funding. 5x is this market's ceiling, which means you post at least 20.0% of notional as initial margin; go to the ceiling and a move of roughly that size against you wipes the position. Liquidation carries a 1% fee on top of the forced exit, so planning your own exit is materially cheaper than being closed out. The minimum order is $10 of notional, which makes it cheap to size a first position small. Pre-IPO markets are isolated margin only, so a loss here cannot reach the rest of your account. At 5x this is also the lowest leverage cap on the platform. We cannot say why those limits were chosen, but the observable context is that these markets are internally priced with no caps on how far the quote can travel.

Anthropic is a private company, so this market has no spot leg underneath it and no share or token you can hold. That makes a pre-IPO perpetual a different instrument from a crypto perp, with its own pricing reference, funding behaviour and settlement rules. Our guide to [what a pre-IPO perpetual actually is](https://lighterpedia.com/guides/trading/lighter-pre-ipo-perps) covers those mechanics before you size a position.
