Robinhood CEO Tenev Announces Anthropic IPO Share Access

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev announced an IPO Access feature that lets eligible customers request Anthropic shares at the offering price before exchange trading begins, giving retail investors a way to seek shares ahead of public trading.

The feature is designed to give individual investors access to IPO pricing, an opportunity traditionally associated with institutional investors. A request does not establish that a customer will receive an allocation, so the feature offers a way to seek shares rather than a confirmed purchase.

Some Asian investors have sought indirect exposure through public technology shares, crypto derivatives and chip stocks.
