Who IPOs first?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: Anthropic at about a 84% chance — likely.
The field is extremely concentrated on just two candidates, with Anthropic at 86% and OpenAI at 14%, and the recent headlines about SpaceX's IPO struggles (e.g., stock sliding below IPO price, launch scrubbed) are irrelevant to this crypto-company race, leaving no clear catalyst for the current odds.
📊 Base rate: In the history of major AI startups, no company has yet completed an IPO, so the base rate for either firm going public first is essentially zero, making the current odds highly speculative.
What's driving it
- • Anthropic's lead likely reflects its more aggressive fundraising and clearer path to profitability, but no recent headline directly supports this shift.
- • OpenAI's lower odds may stem from its ongoing regulatory scrutiny and non-profit governance structure, though no recent news confirms this.
- • The provided headlines about SpaceX's IPO are unrelated to Anthropic or OpenAI, so they do not explain the current odds.
Why the front-runners lead
- • Anthropic leads because it has raised substantial capital (e.g., billions from investors like Google) and has a for-profit structure that aligns with IPO timelines.
- • OpenAI trails due to its complex capped-profit model and potential regulatory hurdles, which may delay its IPO relative to Anthropic.
- • The market sees Anthropic as more likely to IPO first because it has publicly hinted at IPO plans, while OpenAI has focused on private funding rounds.
Why it's still open
- • The field is open because neither company has formally filed for an IPO, so any regulatory change or strategic pivot could flip the odds.
- • OpenAI could overtake Anthropic if it resolves its governance issues or secures a major partnership that accelerates its IPO timeline.
- • A surprise IPO filing by a third crypto company (e.g., Coinbase or a blockchain startup) could disrupt the race, but no such candidate is currently in the market.
What to watch
- • Anthropic's next funding round or IPO filing announcement (likely to increase its odds if confirmed, decrease if delayed).
- • OpenAI's release of a new product or regulatory approval (could boost its odds if it signals readiness for IPO).
- • Any public statement from either company about IPO plans (would directly move odds toward the announcing firm).

How it resolves
Resolved on-chain per the rules written into each market (stablecoin-settled). On-chain settlement is transparent but, like any market, only as good as the rules it was written with.
Resolution criteria
### **Market Details:** - **Market Close:** This market will close after either of the companies has officially had its IPO. - **Resolution Deadline:** The resolution will be determined as soon as an outcome is reached. ### **Resolution Criteria:** - Resolves to **“Anthropic”** if Anthropic IPOs before OpenAI. - Resolves to **“OpenAI”** if OpenAI IPOs before Anthropic. ### **Resolution Details:** - This market will resolve based on the official communications by Anthropic and OpenAI. - To IPO, for the purposes of this market, is defined as an Initial Public Offering (IPO), also known as the process where a private company first sells shares to the public and thus transitioning into a publicly traded entity. - A confirmation of an IPO date alone will not trigger a resolution. Either IPO must occur and be publicly tradable on any exchange for it to count towards resolution. - Resolution may be delayed in case there are grounds to suspect that resolution sources may be corrupted or hacked. ### **Cancellation (Invalidity) Conditions:** - Any circumstance makes it impossible to determine the outcome. - Myriad Markets undergoes a change in its contract that demands a cancellation of all active markets, or a similar significant technical change. In the event of cancellation, participants may claim their stakes at the market value of their open positions at the time of cancellation. This could result in a profit or a loss, depending on the price of their outstanding shares.
ⓘ A market settles under its own written rules, which can lag what looks decided in the news — so the price may not move to 100% the moment an outcome seems obvious.

Which price will Bitcoin hit in July?

Which price will Solana hit in July?
The field is highly fragmented with a single leader at 30% for $70, but 58% of probability is scattered across many lower-odds prices, reflecting deep uncertainty about Solana's July close. The biggest recent shift appears to be the July 15 news of $3B in tokenized equities volume, which likely solidified $70 as the modal expectation.

BTC next move: Pump to $84K or Dump to $55K?
