Prediction market platform Polymarket launched 24/7 perpetual futures trading tied to artificial intelligence firm Anthropic's pre-IPO valuation on 2 November, offering users up to 10x margin trading under the ticker symbol $ANT.
Watcher Guru reported that the venue introduced continuous derivative contracts allowing round-the-clock trading based on Anthropic's pre-IPO market value. The structure lets traders take long or short positions on the private firm's implied equity valuation with up to 10 times exposure without waiting for traditional stock market trading hours.
Anthropic is a private technology firm developing artificial intelligence models. The contract launch comes after Polymarket expanded into other asset classes. On 30 October, YourKhabri reported that Polymarket added gold and silver price prediction markets covering 15-minute, hourly, and daily price movements. That launch followed an incident on 29 October, when Polymarket paused trading and platform relayers after an attacker stole $2.65 million in POL tokens in a compromise of a third-party provider, according to Arkham data cited by YourKhabri.
The launch of pre-IPO derivative contracts points to growing demand for continuous synthetic trading on unlisted technology companies. Traders will monitor trading volume and liquidity across the $ANT perpetual market, while legal observers will watch how regulators evaluate retail access to private equity derivatives.
