The cryptocurrency exchange BingX has launched the "Connect What's Moving" initiative, under which users gain access to trading shares of Anthropic — the creator of the Claude AI model — even before its initial public offering (IPO). This opens up to traders the opportunity to participate in one of the most anticipated events in the artificial intelligence market.

What is behind the initiative

On October 26, Anthropic filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as part of a planned IPO. This event marks a new stage in the investment narrative around AI and draws attention to how companies in the sector are entering public markets. BingX, in turn, combines pre-IPO trading in Anthropic, up-to-date market analytics, and trading tools into a single ecosystem.

Users who meet the established requirements can trade Anthropic at the pre-IPO stage through BingX alongside BingX TradFi's broader offering, covering stocks, indices, forex, and commodities. This gives traders an additional way to engage with new market narratives across various asset classes.

Three key elements of "Connect What's Moving"

  • Faster: follow events while they are relevant. Timely market updates and analytics help track Anthropic's IPO process and receive new information as it emerges — with 24/7 trading, no lockout periods, and no need to have a U.S. brokerage account.
  • Broader: explore the interconnections between markets. Access to crypto and traditional products allows you to study how the broader narrative around AI is connected to various companies, sectors, and asset classes.
  • Deeper: understand the story behind the heightened attention. Market analytics and educational content help you study the information disclosed by companies, competitive dynamics, and the factors influencing the offering.

To stimulate interest in the event, BingX has launched the Anthropic trading campaign with a prize pool of 500,000 USDT. New users who meet the established requirements can trade Anthropic and receive an ANTHROPIC reward equivalent to $15.

Platform context

Founded in 2018, BingX serves more than 40 million users worldwide. Through perpetual futures, TradFi offerings, spot trading and copy trading, as well as AI-based innovations, the platform aims to create a reliable and responsive trading environment for traders in changing market conditions. Since 2024, BingX has been the main partner of Chelsea FC, and in 2026 it became the official team partner of Scuderia Ferrari HP.

Cryptalist analysis: The integration of pre-IPO instruments into a crypto exchange environment reflects growing demand for access to AI-sector assets before their public offering and blurs the boundaries between traditional and digital markets. For investors, this creates new opportunities but at the same time raises the bar for risk assessment: pre-IPO trading is associated with high volatility and uncertainty around the timing and terms of the offering. Cryptalist views such initiatives as a signal of the intensifying convergence of TradFi and crypto infrastructure.
