Crypto Traders Value Private AI Giant Anthropic at $2 Trillion

Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic remains a private company, but crypto traders are already assigning the Claude creator an implied valuation of about $2.12 trillion. This massive price tag comes through synthetic perpetual contracts that do not actually represent company shares.

In the same trading sector, OpenAI has also seen its own synthetic perpetual contracts push that firm toward an inferred worth of $1.58 trillion. These speculative products let traders bet on the future value of major private tech companies before any official public stock offering takes place.

Market participants are watching these synthetic products closely to gauge speculative demand for top artificial intelligence startups. While these contracts do not grant actual equity, they offer a fascinating look at how crypto markets price high demand assets.
