On November 15, 2026, CMC Markets announced that it would offer UK clients pre-IPO options trading linked to Anthropic’s expected share price. Clients can buy call or put options, with the premium paid representing the maximum loss. The product uses a European-style options structure and is cash-settled: if Anthropic lists before expiry, settlement will be based on the official closing price of the listed shares; if it has not listed by then, settlement will be based on the grey-market price. Participating clients must pass suitability assessments for OTC options and grey-market products. CMC Markets said it plans to roll out the product further worldwide.
