Anthropic IPO Access on Kraken

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Anthropic is available through IPO Access on Kraken and Kraken Pro via xStocks. This article explains what IPO Access is, how it works, how to submit interest for the Anthropic IPO, and what happens on listing day, including how allocation and refunds are handled.

Allocation is not guaranteed, is not first-come, first-served, and is decided by the IPO underwriters based on demand. High demand may result in a full, partial, or no allocation.

To participate in the Anthropic IPO, you need a verified Kraken account and must be in an eligible jurisdiction.

IPO xStocks (ANTx): available via the Kraken App, the Kraken website, and Kraken Pro (Pro App and Pro web). Available in the EEA and most of the rest of the world. Not available in the United States or to US persons, or in the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, or sanctioned jurisdictions.

What is IPO Access?

IPO Access lets eligible Kraken clients submit interest in an upcoming IPO before the company lists on the open market, at the offering price, plus a 5% spread.

Historically, getting in around the offering price has been reserved for institutional investors and select clients with established broker relationships. For most retail investors, the only option has been to participate once a company is already trading. IPO Access is designed to change that.

For the Anthropic IPO, you can participate through:

  • ANTx, the xStocks tokenized ticker, available through Kraken

If you are participating in the Anthropic IPO, it helps to understand what you are receiving.

xStocks are tokenized equities. Each xStock is backed 1:1 by the underlying share, held in custody by a regulated entity (Backed Assets (JE) Limited), so the value of the token tracks the value of the underlying share. If you receive an allocation in the Anthropic IPO, you receive ANTx, a 1:1 backed tokenized representation of Anthropic equity, delivered to your Kraken portfolio.

IPO xStocks provide price exposure only. They do not represent direct ownership of the underlying shares and do not carry voting rights. Corporate actions such as dividends are reflected through the token’s rebasing mechanism rather than paid out directly.

Allocation is not guaranteed, is not first-come, first-served, and is decided by the IPO underwriters based on demand. High demand may result in a full, partial, or no allocation.

Once trading opens, ANTx can be traded, converted, or moved like other assets on Kraken, and can move across participating xStocks Alliance platforms and compatible venues.

A few things to know before you submit interest in the Anthropic IPO:

  • Your funds are reserved, not debited. When you submit interest, the amount you enter is reserved in your account. It is not charged unless and until you receive an allocation. You cannot use reserved funds for other activities until allocation is processed or the funds are made available again.

  • Participation includes applicable fees. You participate at the offering price, inclusive of applicable fees.

  • Submitting interest is non-binding until the final window closes. Your indication of interest is not a guarantee of an allocation.

  • You can cancel, but you cannot edit. If you want to change your interest amount, you should cancel your existing submission and submit a new one.

  • There is a final cancellation window. Before the interest window closes, you will receive a notice marking the last opportunity to withdraw. After that point, your submission becomes binding. For IPO xStocks, the cancellation deadline is set for each IPO and communicated to you.

  • Allocation is not guaranteed. The amount you submit interest for is not the amount you are guaranteed to receive. Any unallocated funds will get refunded. See the allocation section below.

Allocation is not determined by Kraken, and it is not first-come, first-served. The amount you receive depends on availability and demand. In a high-demand offering like Anthropic, the available allocation may be distributed on a pro-rata or similar basis.

Because of this, you may receive:

  • a full allocation (the full amount you submitted interest for),

  • a partial allocation (some of the amount you submitted interest for), or

  • no allocation (none of the amount you submitted interest for).

Allocation depends on availability and demand, and is not guaranteed. High demand may result in a partial or zero allocation.

On the listing day, the final IPO price is set and allocations are processed. If you received an allocation, your ANTx IPO xStocks will appear in your portfolio. Any unallocated funds will get refunded.

Trading opens later that day, without any lock-up period. From that point, you can trade your ANTx allocation, including selling it, like any other asset on Kraken.

Listing dates can move. If the date changes, the timeline above shifts with it. Kraken and xStocks do not decide this. Dates are determined by Anthropic.

If any of your reserved funds are not allocated, either because you received a partial allocation or no allocation, those funds are returned to your account.

Unallocated funds are returned on the same day after the listing. Once returned, the funds are available to use as normal.
