#Anthropic files prospectus: officially launches IPO
Anthropic has just submitted its S-1 prospectus to the SEC, officially starting the IPO process.
Honestly, the timing is quite delicate.
Just one day before filing, Anthropic announced the completion of a $65 billion Series H funding round, with a post-money valuation of $965 billion, directly surpassing OpenAI's $852 billion, becoming the highest-valued private AI company globally. Annualized revenue surged from 10 billion at the end of last year to $47 billion.
The data looks impressive, but the market reaction is very divided.
On one hand, this is the largest IPO ever in the AI sector, and Claude’s commercialization speed is indeed astonishing — annualized revenue has increased 47-fold from 2023 to now. On the other hand, on the very day of the filing, the newly released Opus 4.8 was widely criticized online: its performance is inferior to GPT-5.5, yet it’s more expensive; after enabling thinking mode, each conversation generates 900,000 tokens (the previous generation only 14,000); when asked in Chinese who it is, it answered that it is Qianwen and DeepSeek.
Investors buy future growth expectations, not past achievements. When your flagship product fails on the IPO day, the story becomes hard to tell.
Interestingly, this IPO might accelerate the capitalization process of the entire AI sector. If Anthropic’s IPO succeeds, who will be next? OpenAI? xAI?
For the crypto market, the AI+Crypto narrative has always been a hot sector. Tokens like $FET, $RNDR, and $TAO have recently been following AI sentiment. If Anthropic’s IPO goes smoothly, it could further boost the valuation logic of the entire AI sector.
But the problem is also very real: a $965 billion valuation corresponds to $47 billion in annual revenue and still operating at a loss. This multiple is even crazier than the internet bubble back then.
What do you think about Anthropic’s IPO? Is it a milestone of the AI era or the peak of a bubble?
Sunday afternoon, lying at home scrolling through my phone.
Habitually opened OKX, glanced at the market, no big fluctuations. BTC is still around 73,900, ETH at 2,023, both up less than 1%. It's the weekend, liquidity is naturally low, everyone is resting.
But one coin caught my attention—OKB, at 93.26, up 7.33%.
I took a look at the candlestick chart, this surge is quite strong. The positive effects from ICE's investment are still fermenting, plus recent continuous moves in the OKX ecosystem, making OKB the brightest star in today's market.
Honestly, this kind of weekend counter-trend rally is the easiest to get hyped about. You start wondering, is it about to take off? Should I chase it? But thinking calmly, weekend liquidity is low, so pumping is easy, but dumping is also easy. This kind of market often means the main players are testing market reactions, and it may not last.
Right now, my holdings are still mainly BTC and ETH, I haven't dared to chase OKB. Not because I don't see potential, but I'm afraid it might get dumped when the market opens on Monday. Whether the weekend gains can hold on Monday is a question.
Have you guys chased OKB? Or are you still watching?
$BTC $OKB
Slept in until after nine on Sunday, groggily reached for my phone, and my first reaction was still to open OKX.
OKB 93.31.
I instantly woke up.
I've been holding this position for almost two weeks. A 10x long position opened around 88, and it started dropping right after I entered, hitting a low of 86 at one point, with my account showing an unrealized loss of nearly 40%. I set alarms to check the market every midnight, afraid that I’d wake up to find my position gone.
At my most desperate, I thought about cutting losses, but seeing the loss numbers made me reluctant. I told myself to hold on a bit longer, and that ended up being two weeks.
This morning I saw 93.31, up 2.91%, and I stared at the screen in disbelief for several seconds. Then I checked my position’s profit and loss—green.
Back to break-even.
Now my available balance is only 2.43 USDT, and my position is basically maxed out. But it doesn’t matter anymore; breaking even is a victory. Futures trading really is a test of mindset—holding on becomes a story, giving up becomes an accident.
The Sunday sunlight is shining in, and suddenly I feel like today can be a good day.
Is checking the market the first thing you do on Sunday mornings too? Or is it just me?

Just took a glance at my OKB contract account and almost cried.
93.31, finally broke even.
I've been holding this position for almost two weeks. I remember when I opened the position, OKB was around 88. I thought the positive news from ICE investment hadn't been fully priced in yet, so I went long with 10x leverage. But as soon as I entered, the price started dropping, hitting a low near 86, and my account was once down nearly 40% unrealized loss.
Those days I really couldn't sleep. I set alarms in the middle of the night to check the market, afraid that when I woke up my position would be gone. With 10x leverage, a 10% drop means liquidation; I was calculating every day how much more OKB could fall.
At the most desperate moments, I thought about cutting losses, but when I saw the amount lost, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I told myself to hold on a bit longer, maybe it would rebound tomorrow. But tomorrow after tomorrow, it was the same slow decline every day.
This morning I opened my phone and habitually checked OKB first. 93.31, up 2.91. I rubbed my eyes, thinking I must be seeing things wrong. But no, it really broke even.
Now my available balance is only 2.43 USDT, and my position is basically maxed out. But I don't care anymore; breaking even is a victory.
Contracts are really a test of mindset. Hold on and you break even; can't hold and you get liquidated. I was lucky this time, I held on.
Have you ever had this experience of holding a position to break even? Or did you cut losses and run long ago?

Just got home and flopped onto the sofa, casually checked the market— the whole market is dead silent, BTC is stuck sideways at seventy-three thousand, ETH just over two thousand and not moving either.
But one coin bucked the trend today with a 5% jump—$BNB, currently priced at $672. The whole market is flat, but it’s the only one rising, what’s going on?
After checking the news, I realized why. Texas officially announced today the establishment of a Bitcoin Reserve Advisory Committee, with a clear goal: to promote the state government’s direct holding and custody of BTC. This isn’t just talk; it’s real money pushing the system forward.
Think about this signal—a major US state seriously planning BTC as a strategic reserve asset. What does this mean for the entire crypto exchange sector? The value anchor for platform tokens might be shifting from "transaction fee discount coupons" to "digital asset infrastructure certificates."
BNB’s rise today, to some extent, is the market pricing in this narrative. The question is, will similar platform tokens like $OKB follow suit? Or is this just a solo act by BNB?
Honestly, I’m not sure either. But one thing is becoming clearer: US states’ attitudes toward crypto assets are shifting from watching to participating. Once this trend takes hold, it’s worth more attention than any short-term candlestick.
Which state do you think will be next to follow?


I was scrolling through my phone during lunch when the notifications exploded— the US launched airstrikes on Iran.
In an instant, the entire market tanked, BTC plummeted from seventy-five thousand straight down below seventy-three thousand, and the total liquidation amount across the network surpassed 1 billion USD. My long positions didn’t even have time to trigger stop-losses; I watched the numbers in my account drop without even putting down my chopsticks.
Honestly, this kind of crash triggered by geopolitical conflict is the most frustrating. Technical analysis, news, fundamentals—all become irrelevant; a single missile can wipe out all analysis. $ETH dropped nearly 4%, $SUI was hit for a 7% loss, and altcoins turned into a sea of red.
But thinking calmly, this panic selling is often an extreme short-term emotional release. War won’t change the long-term logic of the crypto market, but it instantly exposes positions with excessive leverage. The real liquidations aren’t from the bears, but from those who are fully loaded with leverage betting on direction.
After every black swan event like this, the market reshuffles. The key isn’t how much it fell, but where the funds flow after the drop.
How’s your account today? Were you hurt by this sudden event?

📈 Opened a position on OKB at $89 and received a liquidation warning: bullish on Exchange OS's positive logic, but educated by short-term volatility
Recently, I decisively opened a long OKB position near $89 on OKX perpetual contracts. The logic was very clear: OKX just launched Exchange OS, an open on-chain trading infrastructure that will greatly enhance OKB's utility and value capture. I am firmly bullish on the mid-to-long term, so I chose leverage to bet on a rebound.
However, the market did not perform as expected. A slight pullback in Bitcoin dragged OKB down, causing the maintenance margin ratio to rapidly approach the warning line, and my phone popped up a glaring ⚠️ liquidation alert. At that moment, I deeply felt that no matter how strong the logic, short-term market volatility must be respected.
🔍 What exactly is Exchange OS? Why am I so bullish on OKB?
On May 26, OKX officially launched Exchange OS on X Layer (its Ethereum Layer 2). This is a major protocol upgrade with the following core highlights:
🔐 Anyone staking OKB can deploy markets: developers, institutions, or teams can rely on this institutional-grade infrastructure to independently build spot, perpetual contracts, and prediction markets without developing matching, clearing, and risk control systems from scratch.
⚡ Core functions are moved down to the protocol layer: shared matching engine, margin management, clearing and settlement, unified accounts, supporting 300,000 TPS, millisecond-level matching, and zero gas fees for trading.
🔄 Unified liquidity and account system: liquidity across major markets is interconnected, allowing seamless fund flow and trading between spot, contracts, and prediction markets.
🤝 Compatible with CeDeFi + Web3: supports both compliant operations and permissionless free deployment.
🎯 The first applications are already scheduled: in June, a 2026 World Cup prediction market based on Exchange OS will launch. Subsequently, through the XIP-Exchange OS proposal, it will gradually open to the entire ecosystem.
💎 Direct benefits for OKB: OKB is not just the fee token for X Layer but also the core "access credential" for building trading markets. To become a market deployer, one must stake OKB, which will continuously drive token lock-up demand and enhance governance value, deeply binding the entire ecosystem. After this feature went live, OKB's price surged over 15% in a short time, reflecting market recognition.
My opening logic was very clear: Exchange OS opens OKX's mature trading engine externally, and OKB transforms from a simple platform point token into the core fuel of on-chain financial infrastructure, fully unlocking mid-to-long-term value potential.
⚠️ So why did I still receive a liquidation warning?
Being bullish on the logic does not mean there is no short-term risk.
After opening the position, the overall market capital flow dominated the price trend, and OKB followed Bitcoin's rapid decline. Amplified by leverage, the margin ratio kept falling. Even with stop-loss set in advance, the intense market volatility triggered the risk alert.
Reviewing and summarizing the issues:
📉 Position size and leverage did not match short-term volatility expectations: even if bullish on ecosystem implementation long-term, the coin can still experience 5%-10% short-term pullbacks with the market.
⏳ Time mismatch: ecosystem benefits are mid-to-long-term logic, but risks often erupt immediately.
😵 Emotional influence: chasing rallies led to an overall heavy position.
💡 In the Exchange OS era, what should traders do?
📊 Distinguish between short-term trading and long-term holding
If bullish on OKB, allocate separately: some for long-term staking to participate in ecosystem building, and some with low leverage or pure spot for short-term trading.
🛡️ Risk control always takes priority over trading logic
Limit potential loss per trade to 1%-2% of total capital
Choose leverage levels you can comfortably hold, avoid blindly increasing leverage
Reserve sufficient buffer space, don’t let maintenance margin ratio hover near the critical line
Before opening a position, ask yourself: if this trade loses everything, can I accept it calmly?
🚀 Seize new opportunities brought by ecosystem upgrades
Many unique trading markets based on OKB staking systems will emerge, with more concentrated liquidity and higher trading efficiency. For ordinary users, this is a comprehensive upgrade of trading scenarios and will continuously expand OKB's demand channels.
✍️ Final thoughts
This experience from opening at $89 to receiving a liquidation warning was a practical lesson in deeply understanding Exchange OS. The fundamental logic was correct, but execution must strictly follow trading discipline.
OKB's development story is just beginning. It is transforming from a traditional platform token into the core asset supporting "everyone can build an exchange." Exchange OS is reshaping the entire on-chain financial infrastructure.
I have already adjusted my position: lowered leverage, converted some assets to staking reserves, and patiently await the gradual rollout of ecosystem functions. Short-term ups and downs are market norms; I remain optimistic about the definite long-term development trend.
📌 Risk reminder: This article is only a personal trading review and opinion sharing, not investment advice. Cryptocurrency trading carries extremely high risk; please ensure proper risk control and participate rationally. Exchange OS-related features are being rolled out in phases; please refer to official OKX announcements for specific rules and progress.
💬 Welcome to discuss in the comments: How do you view Exchange OS's impact on OKB? Have you ever been bullish on logic but dragged down by short-term market moves? Let's accumulate experience and grow together through volatility.
Just got to the office, hadn’t even settled at my desk before I checked OKX, almost couldn’t stay seated.
BTC has directly dropped to 74,000, the whole market is red. My OKB perpetual long position is floating at nearly a 3% loss—entered around 89.2, now at 86.76, 24-hour low is 86.33, just a bit away from my stop loss.
Woke up around 6 AM and saw 87.16, thought it would hold. But by 9:30 AM it dropped nearly 0.4 dollars again. Although the drop isn’t huge, -2.68% is milder compared to many altcoins, the problem is the perpetual contract is eating funding fees every 8 hours, so time is definitely not on the bulls’ side.
ETH has fallen below 2000, SOL is hovering around 82, no sector in the market can stand out. In this broad sell-off, it’s too hard for OKB to stay unscathed.
The worst part is, if the 86.33 low doesn’t hold, the next support might be around 84. But selling now risks a sudden rebound, since OKB’s fundamentals are still intact.
For those holding OKB positions, what are your thoughts now? In this market, should we hold on or exit first?
$BTC $OKB
Just woke up, habitually opened OKX to check my OKB position, and my heart sank halfway.
I took a perpetual long position around 89.2, thinking that since it held at 92, it should rebound at 89, right? But now it's 87.16, down 3.4% in 24 hours, and I'm already down over two points on paper.
The worst part isn't losing money, it's that feeling of "I clearly saw it but didn't act." Last night before bed, the MA5 was still around 88, I thought if it held, it would be fine, but I woke up to it breaking down hard. The 24-hour low was 86.24, almost hitting my stop-loss.
Now MA5/MA10/MA20 are all pressing down on the price, the short-term trend is clearly bearish. The volume isn't small though, with over 52 million USDT in 24h trading volume, indicating fierce long-short battles, but the bears are winning.
Honestly, OKB is in a very awkward position right now. Upwards, 88-89 is a dense trapped zone, downwards, there's support around 86 but it's weak. I'm stuck in the middle, afraid to cut losses in case of a rebound, but afraid not to cut and see it fall further.
Are you guys still holding your OKB positions? How do you usually handle this kind of market—hold on tight or run first?
$TRUMP Can I still break even, family?
💰 The April 25th Mar-a-Lago crypto dinner is a key recent event, closed-door and with a very high threshold for participation, where eligibility is linked to the holding amount of Trump-related meme coins, allowing top holders to have close meeting opportunities. Essentially, Trump is directly monetizing his political influence, deeply binding with the top capital in the crypto circle, which not only boosts the market sentiment of related tokens but also gathers funds for his camp, further consolidating a pro-crypto, pro-innovation external image and seizing discourse power in the Web3 field.
⚖️ This dinner also signifies a formal deep binding of interests between the U.S. political arena and the crypto industry, moving beyond mere verbal statements. In the short term, it will boost market confidence, while in the long term, it may directly influence the direction of U.S. crypto regulation, bringing stronger policy certainty to the industry.
🤝 The April 26th White House Correspondents' Dinner marks Trump's first attendance as president, with a clear shift towards a more conciliatory stance. He has changed from his previous confrontational style with the media, aiming to repair relationships, improve the public opinion environment, and gain support from the middle ground, which is a typical image reshaping to reduce media resistance for subsequent policy advancement.
📈 Overall, this series of dinners is not just simple socializing, but a coherent strategic combination. On one hand, it binds emerging capital and popularity through the crypto dinner, while on the other hand, it eases traditional public opinion pressure through the media dinner. Trump operates politics with a business mindset, consolidating the base while expanding new circles, firmly grasping the main line of funds and traffic in the crypto and AI era.
🌍 The signal is clear for the industry: the U.S. high-level friendly attitude towards crypto continues to strengthen, the policy environment is trending towards looseness, and related tracks will continue to benefit.
