Binance plans to raise the share count baseline for the ANTHROPICUSDT Pre-IPO perpetual contract to approximately 13.116 billion shares and rename it to ANTUSDT

Odaily reports: According to an official Binance announcement, Binance plans to adjust the share count baseline for the ANTHROPICUSDT Pre-IPO perpetual contract ahead of Anthropic's official IPO listing, from the currently estimated 1 billion shares to 13,116,075,288 shares, approximately 13.12 times the original baseline.

This adjustment is based on the S-1/A-2 filing submitted by Anthropic on November 10. The specific adjustment timing and details will be announced separately. Prior to the formal adjustment, the contract will continue to be quoted based on the estimated share count of 1 billion shares.

In addition, during the adjustment process, Binance will change the contract's trading ticker from ANTHROPICUSDT to ANTUSDT. Existing positions will not be affected by the ticker change, and users do not need to close or settle their positions as a result. Binance stated that if Anthropic updates the relevant filings before listing, the estimated share count may still be further adjusted.
