Anthropic's Class A shares are set to trade on Nasdaq on Nov 19 under the ticker ANT, in a $70-78 price range. Three crypto platforms, Bitget, Gate and Kraken, are selling retail access to the offering until Nov 17 and Nov 18. On Polymarket, traders priced the chance of an opening print above the IPO price at 95.0% as of Nov 12, up from 94% earlier in the day.
Bitget and Gate close on Nov 17 and Kraken on Nov 18, a day before ANT's first Nasdaq trade on Nov 19.
How to buy the Anthropic IPO before it lists
The deadlines come in two steps. Bitget IPO Prime and Gate IPO Access close on Nov 17, and Kraken closes on Nov 18, the day pricing is expected. Entry starts at $10 on Kraken, against $100 on Bitget and 100 USDT on Gate. Bitget and Gate charge a 5% fee; Kraken charges a 5% spread.
Kraken's offer excludes the US, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and sanctioned jurisdictions. Its ANTx token trades around the clock, carries no voting rights and has no lock-up.
Tokens or shares in the Anthropic IPO
Each platform hands out a different instrument: the rANT token on Bitget, ANT shares on Gate and the ANTx token on Kraken. Gate is the only one of the three that promises actual shares, and it does not name the broker holding them. Bitget's support pages state that holding rANT is not equivalent to directly holding Anthropic shares.
Delivery has failed before. In June, Bybit IPO Express, Binance Wallet, Bitget Wallet and MEXC cancelled their SpaceX IPO access and refunded users after xStocks could not deliver the shares; Kraken filled only part of the orders.
What Polymarket odds say about the Anthropic IPO
The open-price market on Polymarket stood at 95.0% for Yes on Nov 12, with $16.2K in total volume. A second market gives 89% odds that Anthropic's first-day close beats its strike, on about $28K traded. Odds are market-implied probabilities and move with the money.

At the $74 midpoint, a 5% fee lifts the cost to about $77.70 per share; the ANT perp on trade.xyz marked near $104 on Nov 12, a gap of about 34%.

None of the three venues appears on Anthropic's broker list, which names eToro, Revolut, Trade Republic, IBKR and Saxo, and Anthropic's scam-warning page tells readers to assume tokenized securities offers are invalid. Our step-by-step guide covers each platform's flow, fees and documents.
The calendar decides the trade: Bitget and Gate close on Nov 17, Kraken and the pricing fall on Nov 18, and the first Nasdaq trade in ANT is set for Nov 19.
