It has previously submitted a confidential listing application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, but the specific listing date has not yet been determined.This disclosure comes at a time when the AI sector is under pressure. Last week, OpenAI updated existing investors with an annualized revenue of $50 billion, lower than the previously circulated figure of $70 billion, sparking controversy over revenue reporting standards and dragging down semiconductor stocks and the Nasdaq index. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan warned that rising interest rates could make capital acquisition a major constraint for the development of AI companies. The market will be watching to see if Anthropic clarifies its revenue recognition standards, particularly whether it includes revenue from cloud partners.

The cryptocurrency research platform Glassnode pointed out in the latest issue of The Week Onchain report that within the 30 days ending on October 5, approximately $4.9 billion of "new funds" flowed into Bitcoin, covering corporate treasury purchases, stablecoin growth, and inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. During the same period, Bitcoin achieved a market capitalization increase of $12.8 billion, more than double the size of the new funds.Glassnode stated that new funds only accounted for less than two-fifths of this increase, with the remainder coming from existing market funds being traded at higher prices. Data shows that since the launch of the spot ETF in January 2024, Bitcoin's upward trends have shown similar differentiation, but the scale of inflows accompanying the rises in 2024 and 2025 is far greater than the current situation. Glassnode noted that before inflows recover, the market will rely on existing holders to pay higher prices.Since September 21, Bitcoin has attempted to break through $87,000 four times without success, and as of the time of writing on Thursday, it was around $83,000, down 1% for the month. Glassnode pointed out that on the first week since January when Bitcoin closed above $85,000, about 86% of the tokens transferred to exchanges came from short-term holders who had held for less than 155 days and were in profit, marking the highest single-day proportion in the past year. CryptoQuant data shows that as of October 7, the overall cost basis for short-term holders is approximately $78,250, still in a net profit state.

Bitcoin collateralized lending is gradually expanding from a cryptocurrency financial scene focused on trading and investment to real credit needs such as tuition fees, living expenses, business operating funds, and real estate, showing a significant change in market usage. Institutions like SALT Lending and Ledn indicate that more and more borrowers are choosing to collateralize BTC for liquidity instead of selling their holdings.Since its establishment in 2018, Ledn has issued loans totaling over $11 billion and expects this scale to grow to $1 trillion in the coming years. Its clients include entrepreneurs and institutional investors seeking operating funds, as well as individuals borrowing to pay for children's education, real estate investments, and short-term living expenses. This trend indicates that the financial attributes of BTC are extending from "tradable assets" further to "collateralizable assets." Borrowers hope to unlock its value without selling BTC while still retaining potential upside exposure.At the same time, institutions like SALT are promoting fixed-rate, long-term products, bringing crypto collateralized loans closer to traditional credit models like home mortgages. Coinbase has also recently launched fixed-rate BTC collateralized loans through Morpho. Ledn further anticipates that similar models may expand from BTC to traditional hard assets like gold, and the boundaries of the collateralized asset lending market are widening.
