On September 29, 2026, GraniteShares announced a proposal for the GraniteShares 2x Long Anthropic Daily ETF, which will trade under the ticker AIL. The fund seeks to provide investors with 200% of Anthropic's daily performance through derivatives and financial instruments.
Why it matters
The fund is designed to provide traders with a specialized tool for taking leveraged long positions on Anthropic. It remains subject to SEC approval and the requirement that Anthropic first completes an initial public offering.
The proposed AIL ETF seeks to provide 200% of Anthropic's daily performance through a 2x leverage multiplier. As of June 30, 2026, New York-based GraniteShares managed $14.5 billion in total assets.
The players
GraniteShares
A New York-based asset management firm that specializes in exchange-traded funds and managed $14.5 billion in assets as of June 30, 2026.
Anthropic
An artificial intelligence research company that has not yet completed an initial public offering.
Securities and Exchange Commission
The United States government agency responsible for regulating markets and approving the effectiveness of new financial products.

Timeline
June 30, 2026: GraniteShares reported $14.5 billion in assets under management.
September 29, 2026: GraniteShares announced the proposed AIL ETF.
Market Dynamics
The proposed AIL ETF follows a trend of offering leveraged tracking for high-profile tech firms similar to the GraniteShares 2x Long TSLA Daily ETF. This launch strategy marks an expansion of leveraged product offerings into the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence sector.
Retail investors should note that leveraged ETFs reset daily, which can lead to significant tracking errors over holding periods longer than a single day. Prospective traders will need to monitor Anthropic's IPO progress and subsequent SEC filings before the AIL ticker becomes active.
The takeaway
Leveraged ETFs are highly complex financial tools intended for tactical, short-term trading rather than long-term buy-and-hold strategies. Investors should carefully review the fund prospectus once available to understand the risks associated with daily resetting leverage.
