Vantage Offers CFDs Linked to Anthropic and OpenAI Before IPOs

Nov 2, 2026
Vantage Markets is promoting contracts for difference that let eligible clients take long or short positions linked to Anthropic and OpenAI before their public listings.

In a press release, Vantage Markets detailed contracts for difference that let eligible clients take long or short positions linked to Anthropic and OpenAI before their public listings. Access depends on client eligibility, jurisdiction and account restrictions.

The Anthropic linked contract, ANTHUSD, has been available since June 29, 2026. Its reference price uses private market valuation data and other inputs under Vantage's methodology. Published specifications include continuous trading, a minimum trade size of 0.01 lots and position increments of 0.01 lots.

The contracts do not provide shares, voting rights or an IPO allocation. Positions may be closed, delisted or converted into equity CFDs when a company lists, but they will not automatically become shares. Leverage, spreads and overnight financing charges can increase losses, while reference prices may differ from private share transactions, company valuations or future IPO prices.
