ANTHROPICUSDT moved from 2069.51 USDT to 2067.79 USDT this week, a weekly change of -0.08%, essentially flat. Meanwhile, Anthropic choosing a Nasdaq IPO became a talking point on Square, and this contract tracks a pre-IPO valuation, so its price reacts to such news differently from ordinary tokens. Of 16 weekly samples, 7 weeks were stronger, and the strongest gained 22.07%. This week was not the main event, but it offers a window into how funds treat a contract tied to a pre-IPO valuation while the IPO path is being discussed.

| 2026-09-09 | 2058 USDT | 2129.77 USDT | 3.49% |
| 2026-09-10 | 2130.53 USDT | 2054.45 USDT | -3.57% |
| 2026-09-11 | 2054.61 USDT | 2113.22 USDT | 2.85% |
| 2026-09-12 | 2113.22 USDT | 2056.26 USDT | -2.7% |
| 2026-09-13 | 2056.76 USDT | 2068.8 USDT | 0.59% |
| 2026-09-14 | 2069.51 USDT | 2092.08 USDT | 1.09% |
| 2026-09-15 | 2092.19 USDT | 2085.36 USDT | -0.33% |
| 2026-09-16 | 2085.64 USDT | 2067.79 USDT | -0.86% |
Three days stand out. On 2026-09-10 price fell from 2130.53 USDT to 2054.45 USDT, down 3.57%, the largest daily drop of the week, giving back most of the prior day's 3.49% gain. On 2026-09-11 price recovered from 2054.61 USDT to 2113.22 USDT, up 2.85%. From 2026-09-14 to 2026-09-16 the tape weakened: up 1.09% to 2092.08 USDT, then down 0.33% to 2085.36 USDT, then down 0.86% to 2067.79 USDT. Those three days pushed the weekly print from positive to negative, ending at -0.08%. The 3.57% and 2.85% reversals sitting next to each other made chasing moves uncomfortable.
Against 16 weekly samples
| Stronger week | open | close | change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-15 | 1671.81 USDT | 1708.01 USDT | 2.17% |
| 2026-08-03 | 1436.48 USDT | 1450.78 USDT | 1% |
| 2026-08-10 | 1450.69 USDT | 1770.8 USDT | 22.07% |
| 2026-08-17 | 1770.7 USDT | 1884 USDT | 6.4% |
| 2026-08-24 | 1884.01 USDT | 1884.09 USDT | 0% |
| 2026-08-31 | 1883.03 USDT | 1954.73 USDT | 3.81% |
| 2026-09-07 | 1954.76 USDT | 2068.8 USDT | 5.83% |
This week ranks 8th of 16, since 7 weeks were stronger. The strongest was 2026-08-10, from 1450.69 USDT to 1770.8 USDT, up 22.07%, lifting price a full step in one week. Next came 2026-08-17, from 1770.7 USDT to 1884 USDT, up 6.4%, then 2026-09-07, from 1954.76 USDT to 2068.8 USDT, up 5.83%. Those three are the top movers in the sample, and against this week's -0.08% the difference is magnitude, not direction. The week of 2026-08-24 went from 1884.01 USDT to 1884.09 USDT, up 0%, another near-flat week, yet it was followed by 3.81% and 5.83%. What follows this week is not in the sample.
What popular Square posts say
Popular posts on Square argue that Anthropic choosing a Nasdaq IPO does not affect a pre-IPO valuation contract like ANTHROPICUSDT in a linear way (relayed, not this site's view). Some posts say that as the IPO path becomes clearer, the valuation anchor may shift from off-market expectations toward public-market pricing, and contract prices often move before that shift. Others argue that daily swings here come mainly from immediate reactions to news rather than day-to-day changes in fundamentals, so a 3.57% daily drop does not require a fundamental explanation. Some posts also caution that with only 16 weekly samples, statistics carry limited weight and extrapolating next week from a few weekly gains is easy to get wrong. These are opinions, not established facts.
Three things to think through first
First, gaps and liquidity. ANTHROPICUSDT is a pre-IPO valuation contract, so price discovery differs from major tokens; when news clusters, the book can thin and fills can differ from the quote you see. Second, high leverage. Daily ranges look modest, but 3.57% and 2.85% alternating within one week is enough to force positions down under high leverage; leverage amplifies volatility, not the accuracy of a directional call. Third, funding. Perpetual contracts use funding to pull price toward the underlying, and holding against the funding direction gets more expensive over time; in a flat week, funding matters more than price itself. Also worth remembering from the posts: the best week is a conclusion in hindsight. The 22.07% week of 2026-08-10 was only recognized as strong afterward, and nobody inside it knew at the time.
On fees
Binance contract default maker fee is 0.02% and default taker fee is 0.05%. The rebate ratio is 20%, so after the rebate the effective maker fee is 0.016% and the effective taker fee is 0.04%. Price barely moved this week, but if you opened and closed a position, one taker fill costs 0.05%, or 0.04% after the rebate, and several round trips will visibly eat into the limited room a flat market offers.
