The rumor moved, the price did not
The rumor that Anthropic could IPO as early as mid-November is circulating on Square, but ANTHROPICUSDT answered with a 0.4% decline this week. That number is neither strong nor weak across 18 weekly samples, where 9 weeks were stronger. The week opened at 2038.02 USDT and closed at 2029.82 USDT, with a high close of 2038.1 USDT and a low close of 1995 USDT. Daily moves included a 2.03% rebound and a 1.75% drop. Between the rumor and the price sits one question: whether the market is willing to pay for a headline that has not landed yet.

Where it ranks across 18 weeks
The weekly sample holds 18 weeks, and 9 were stronger than this one, placing it 10th. The strongest was 2026-08-10, which ran from 1450.69 USDT to 1770.8 USDT, up 22.07%. Others: 2026-08-17 from 1770.7 USDT to 1884 USDT, up 6.4%; 2026-09-07 from 1954.76 USDT to 2068.8 USDT, up 5.83%; 2026-08-31 from 1883.03 USDT to 1954.73 USDT, up 3.81%; 2026-06-15 from 1671.81 USDT to 1708.01 USDT, up 2.17%; 2026-08-03 from 1436.48 USDT to 1450.78 USDT, up 1%; 2026-09-14 from 2069.51 USDT to 2082.82 USDT, up 0.64%; 2026-08-24 from 1884.01 USDT to 1884.09 USDT, up 0%; 2026-06-29 from 1646.53 USDT to 1640.76 USDT, down 0.35%. This week's 0.4% decline is deeper than the 0.35% drop in the 2026-06-29 week and weaker than the 0% week of 2026-08-24. The August weeks carried a completely different magnitude.
What popular Square posts say
Popular Square posts argue that the mid-November IPO rumor is the source of attention, and that the pre-IPO valuation contract gives retail a channel to express a view early (relayed, not the site's view). Some posts caution that the contract tracks valuation expectations rather than equity, so a delay or a change in wording would hit price faster than the headline itself. Others describe the week as waiting for news. None of this is confirmed, and anyone treating the rumor as a reason to trade should ask what anchors the contract if the timing does not hold.
Three things easy to miss
First, rumor-driven and price-driven are different things. The rumor was hot on Square while price fell only 0.4%, meaning the market did not convert the headline into buying. Second, the pricing anchor of a pre-IPO valuation contract is thinner than usual: no earnings, no cash flow, no comparable secondary market. Third, funding costs and gaps are the most underestimated expenses here. While price oscillated between 1995 USDT and 2038.1 USDT, anyone holding overnight paid every day. The best week is always a conclusion in hindsight, as the 22.07% week of 2026-08-10 shows.
Fees
The default maker fee is 0.02% and the default taker fee is 0.05%. With a 20% rebate, the effective maker fee is 0.016% and the effective taker fee is 0.04%. At that level, frequent entries and exits over a week cost more than the price move itself.
