Beating AI News Flash: Anthropic’s IPO enters its final stretch. The company will kick off its roadshow as early as November 10 (US time) to market its shares to investors, aiming to price its IPO ahead of Thanksgiving Day on November 26 and list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT. Anthropic also plans to host an IPO livestream this Friday (the 13th) at noon in New York, where CEO Dario Amodei will hold a conversation with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to boost the IPO’s profile. JPMorgan is one of the 22 banks involved in the IPO, responsible for US retail sales and share distribution. Anthropic is considering allocating 15% to 20% of its issued shares to retail investors. The livestream format is similar to the event Elon Musk hosted for SpaceX’s IPO in June this year, but on a smaller scale. Meanwhile, a mix-up occurred with Anthropic’s prospectus documents. A copy obtained by Reuters showed the company originally planned to issue around 867 million shares, priced at $70 to $80 per share, corresponding to a fundraising of roughly $60.7 billion to $69.3 billion. However, Anthropic later sent an email to underwriting banks stating the pricing information was incorrect and promised to provide an updated version. Previously, Anthropic had aimed to raise funds at or exceeding the $86.2 billion IPO record set by SpaceX this year. But following the recent sell-off in AI tech stocks, investors have started re-evaluating its value. Potential investors are currently discussing a valuation of around $1.1 trillion to $1.3 trillion, lower than the earlier expectation of up to $2 trillion.

Glassnode published a report stating that altcoin trading volumes have returned to normal levels. In September, the total trading volume of altcoins once surged to four times that of Bitcoin. Speculative altcoin activity coincided with a local market peak, when Bitcoin’s price hit a high of roughly $87,000.

According to Glassnode data, in late September, when Bitcoin’s price neared $87,100, roughly 80% of the more than 300 tokens tracked by the on-chain analytics firm still allowed recent buyers (holding assets for less than 155 days) to sell at a profit. However, by the end of October, this proportion had dropped to approximately 12%, with most recent altcoin buyers exiting with small losses.
