Anthropic's IPO prospectus shows a 2025 operating loss of about $8 billion on $4.59 billion of revenue, a fraction of its $42 billion net loss. For anyone building on Claude, Anthropic's $20.28 billion of year-end cash covers about two and a half years of that loss.

Decentralized exchanges handled $48.7 billion of tokenized stock trades in a year, against roughly $3.2 billion to $4.4 billion of the stock in existence. Much of that trading ran through a few ETF-linked tokens, so the figure mostly measures churn in a small float.

BlackRock's IBIT took in $195.6 million on a day all US spot Bitcoin ETFs together netted $102.7 million, so the other funds sold a net $92.9 million. Over 30 days its $1.57 billion is just over half the category's $2.99 billion, so its rivals are still gathering money.

Robinhood's Johann Kerbrat says its offshore stock-token turnover is already high enough to hit some caps in the SEC's September 17 Innovation Exemption. The larger obstacle is the product itself, a Jersey-issued debt note the order excludes, so a US version must first be rebuilt to carry full shareholder rights.

Blockchain.com is seeking about $500 million from a US listing at a $4 billion to $6 billion valuation, below the $7 billion its 2023 round set. The range opens at roughly the $4 billion that secondary trades already imply, so tokenized stocks and prediction markets have to justify every dollar above it.

Binance Research projects tokenized equities at $349 billion by 2030 in its base case, up from $4.43 billion on-chain as of September 15. Its low and high cases, $61 billion and $987 billion, sit sixteen times apart, so the base case is one guess inside a very wide range.
