Arthur Hayes, co‑founder of the cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, posted on X that he expects the upcoming Anthropic IPO to surge. He said he is increasing his exposure to crypto assets in the days leading up to the listing, but will keep the size of his positions small to medium so he can close them quickly if needed. Hayes’ comment matters because his reputation as a veteran trader gives weight to market sentiment, and his focus on short‑term risk highlights how some crypto investors view major tech IPOs as catalysts for price moves.

“The Anthropic IPO is going to rip. I’m loading up on crypto risk between now and next week’s listing date. Keeping size small to medium in case I need to quickly close the positions. But I’m mini-bulled up.”
