AI company Anthropic has filed for an IPO with the SEC, with shares set to trade as ANT on Nasdaq. The firm posted a $80.7 billion net loss in H1 2026 but is valued at $965 billion by private investors. On-chain data suggests strong interest in altcoins to watch, as the IPO could gauge market sentiment toward frontier AI. A listing is expected as early as November.

This roundup covers business and economic developments. Anthropic publicly submitted an initial public offering (IPO) filing on Monday morning. The S-1 submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission brings Claude's developer closer to becoming the first large frontier AI laboratory to go public. The offering is expected to provide an important test of investor appetite for the technology. The filing says Anthropic shares will trade on Nasdaq under ANT. The listing could take place as early as November.

The filing showed that Anthropic's revenue rose sharply over the past year. Anthropic reported a net loss of $80.7 billion for the first half of this year. The Associated Press reported that private investors valued Anthropic at $965 billion earlier this year.

The filing comes amid prominent concerns about AI safety following security breaches and warnings from executives, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, about societal risks. Anthropic's Monday filing identified potential uses of the technology for cyberattacks, biological weapons development and government mass surveillance. Anthropic said the company considers explaining these risks to the world a personal responsibility. Anthropic said the company has a responsibility to prevent or reduce risks arising from Anthropic's AI models. Anthropic also said the company has a responsibility to work with governments and other industry participants to address risks across society.

Anthropic submitted confidential paperwork to the SEC in early June. Anthropic released no additional details at that time. Rival OpenAI submitted a confidential filing to go public a week later. The timing of the ChatGPT developer's next step remains unclear. Anthropic's IPO could become the largest ever, surpassing the record set by Elon Musk's SpaceX last June. SpaceX shares opened at $150 in that debut.

The NBA announced on Monday that the league is partnering with prediction market companies Kalshi and Polymarket. Multiple states have sued Kalshi and Polymarket in efforts to establish regulatory authority over the companies.
