Financial market research firm Vanda Research estimates that US artificial intelligence (AI) developersanthropic Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) may attract more retail investorsspacex Which is one of the highest single-day retail purchase records in history.
Reuters reported that Wanda Research released a report today predicting that Anthropic’s retail purchases on the first day of listing will reach nearly US$250 million, which is more than double the retail purchases of US$118 million during the IPO of SpaceX (an American space exploration technology company).
Vanda Research’s estimate is based on historical retail trading records on the first day of stock listing, as well as Anthropic’s pre-IPO perpetual futures trading volume on the Hyperliquid platform.
Pre-IPO perpetual futures are derivatives that have no expiration date that allow investors to bet on the valuations of unlisted companies. They appear on trading platforms like Hyperliquid and Coinbase.
Viraj Patel, global general economic strategist at Vanda Research, said in a report: “Given the pre-IPO perpetual futures trading situation, Anthropic’s IPO retail participation is expected to set a record.”
Wanda Research reported that since 2024, single-day retail purchases of just 6 stocks have exceeded US$250 million. Anthropic may attract the same size of retail buying on the first day of its listing.
Anthropic’s IPO target valuation is US$1.4 trillion, and its shares are expected to start trading on the Nasdaq market of the United States on the 19th of this month.
