A tokenized S&P 500 fund and a tokenized leveraged Nasdaq-100 fund both settle the same way on-chain — the difference is where the real trading depth sits, how the fees stack, and what a reset clock that never stops does to one of them.

Anthropic's PreStocks token carries a $7.44 million market cap. Crypto derivatives desks price the company itself near $2.1 trillion. The gap between those two numbers is what a pre-IPO token actually buys.
