CZ Predicts On Chain IPOs as Anthropic Trading Volume Surges

Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, believes the traditional way companies go public is about to change. He recently suggested that initial public offerings will eventually move on chain. This shift would allow businesses to raise money and trade their shares directly on blockchain networks, bypassing the old school stock exchange model.

This prediction comes as interest in pre market trading for tech companies reaches a fever pitch. Anthropic, the AI firm behind the Claude chatbot, has seen its pre market volume explode on platforms like Binance and Hyperliquid. Investors are clearly hungry for ways to trade these high value companies before they have a formal IPO.

Moving these offerings to the blockchain could make things much faster and cheaper for everyone involved. For the crypto world, it would bring in a huge amount of new capital and prove that blockchain can handle serious financial infrastructure. It is a sign that the wall between traditional finance and crypto is starting to crumble.

While the technology is ready, the big question remains how regulators will handle stocks moving onto decentralized platforms. For now, the surging volume in Anthropic shows that the market is already moving in this direction. Traders should watch for more private tech firms appearing on crypto exchanges soon.
