Market Discussion
Prediction markets, as of September 12, 2026, priced the rescission of the Anthropic ban at 47%-49% before January 1, 2027, reflecting a near coin flip despite a D.C. Circuit ruling on September 25, 2026, that upheld the Pentagon's ability to blacklist Anthropic for refusing to enable certain features [1][2][3][4][5][6]. While this decision strengthens the current institutional momentum favoring continuation of the ban, Anthropic may still pursue further appeals, or a negotiated settlement or executive policy reversal could provide a path to rescission, maintaining significant political optionality [7][6][8][9].
