The companies, products and regulatory developments shaping the broker industry.
An SEC filing identifies the selling-group broker-dealers for Anthropic's proposed offering and caps expected retail allocations at up to one-fifth. The terms are provisional and demand will determine the result.
Hypercall says 24/7 cash-settled Anthropic-linked options will open on 9 November. The contracts do not confer shares or an IPO allocation, and the pre-launch status plus reference methodology remain central risk questions.
Anthropic identifies the broker intermediaries expected to distribute its proposed UK retail IPO, while distinguishing the unlaunched securities offer from leveraged pre-IPO products.
Scope Markets is offering 24/7 MetaTrader 5 CFDs linked to indicative pre-IPO valuations, but customers buy derivatives rather than OpenAI or Anthropic shares.
ANT.US-PERP offers synthetic price exposure rather than shares. Pepperstone sets the financing rate in advance for each week and applies it daily at 5pm New York time.
The synthetic pre-IPO contracts are cash-settled, not shares. A 23 October launch page gives 10% margin while the broker’s guide specifies 20%.
