Backpack says Anthropic's ANT will trade on Backpack from day one, with zero trading fees

What Backpack announced

Backpack posted on 10 November 2026 that Anthropic's $ANT "will be available to trade on Backpack from day one", adding two short promises: day-one access and zero trading fees. The attached artwork repeats the message: "Anthropic. On Backpack from day one."

That is the whole announcement. The post does not give a date, does not say what form ANT will take on Backpack, does not list the countries where it will be offered and does not say how long the zero-fee terms will apply.

Where the IPO stands

Backpack's own guide to the Anthropic IPO, last updated on 28 October, sets out the background. Anthropic filed its registration statement publicly on 26 October 2026 and plans to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT. At the time of that update the price range, the number of shares and the first trading date had not been set.

The same guide said ANT would be considered for listing on Backpack once it began public trading, and that Backpack would announce officially when it became available. The new post moves that from "considered" to a commitment to day-one access, but "day one" still depends on a listing date that the post does not give.

What is still unknown

Before planning a trade, it is worth waiting for Backpack's detailed listing notice. The post does not say whether ANT will be offered as a listed share, as a tokenized version or in some other form, which Backpack entity will offer it, or which customers are eligible. "Zero trading fees" is also undefined: the post does not say whether it covers the first day, a launch period or longer, or whether spreads and other costs still apply.

How this differs from pre-IPO perps

Several venues we cover already offer leveraged pre-IPO perpetual contracts that only track expectations for Anthropic, such as Phantom, Lighter and Aster, while Kraken has said a tokenized Anthropic IPO through xStocks is coming soon. Backpack's announcement is different in kind: it is about trading ANT once it lists, rather than a contract that trades on expectations before the listing. Until Backpack publishes the details, readers should not assume the product, the price or the cost will match any of those other offers.

Our take

Day-one access is a real draw for a listing of this profile, and zero fees remove one cost on what is usually a very volatile first session. Zero fees do not mean zero cost, though, and the opening price can sit far from the IPO price. Wait for the listing notice with the exact product and terms, check that your region is covered, and size any first-day order with the swings in mind. The Backpack code on this page is a separate sign-up discount on trading fees and is not tied to the ANT offer.
