According to people familiar with the matter, artificial intelligence company Anthropic expects its IPO size to match or exceed the record set by SpaceX. As the AI firm accelerates its listing preparations, a blockbuster IPO is in the works. The sources said Anthropic is conducting relevant calculations and preparing to publicly file its potential large-scale IPO application as early as the end of this month. They revealed that recent investor communication meetings hosted by CFO Clario avoided valuation discussions. Data shows that rocket and satellite company SpaceX raised $75 billion in its IPO, making it the largest initial public offering in history. The figure ultimately rose to $86.2 billion after the exercise of the so-called over-allotment option, a mechanism typically triggered when a stock rises in its early trading days. Anthropic’s target reflects that leading AI industry players are reshaping the tech investment landscape in an extremely short period of time. Previous reports noted that Anthropic’s preliminary second-quarter revenue exceeded $115 billion, while the same period in 2025 saw only $787 million. As of the end of July, the company’s annualized revenue run rate had reached $650 billion.

Citigroup currency strategists have recently turned bearish on the U.S. dollar, as markets brace for a less hawkish Federal Reserve, the U.S. midterm elections, and the U.S. Treasury’s expanded debt buyback program. In a Thursday research note, the Citi team led by Daniel Tobon said it has cut its three-month forecast for the U.S. Dollar Index from 102.12 to 98.34. The shift follows the bank’s warning that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s latest move to lower long-term borrowing costs—expanding buybacks of 10- to 30-year U.S. Treasuries—could come at the cost of a weaker dollar. The day before, the U.S. Dollar Index had dropped to its lowest level since May before stabilizing around 98.9. Tobon and his colleagues added that their stance on the dollar has been more neutral in recent months, and cautioned that risks may rise in the coming months.

According to Bloomberg, Franklin Templeton is preparing to introduce tokenized assets into traditional investment funds. The firm stated that after securing approval from U.S. regulators, its native digital products have been cleared for use in traditional funds for the first time. Based on a letter released by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and details disclosed by company executives, Franklin Templeton plans to deploy its tokenized money market fund in ETFs and mutual funds, serving both as fund holdings and collateral. This means investors who currently invest in traditional funds may end up with tokenized assets in their portfolios in the future, even if they did not actively seek such assets.

Longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff posted that Bitcoin’s rally to break above $72,000 is a fake breakout, not a genuine one. The U.S. Treasury’s announcement of a repurchase plan caught the market off guard. Bitcoin investors have long believed that a return to loose monetary policy would act as a catalyst for sharp gains in both gold and Bitcoin, but that view is only half correct. Schiff advised selling Bitcoin and buying gold.
