Resolution criteria

This market resolves to YES if, at any point during the calendar year 2026, Anthropic formally announces or implements a policy change that restricts access to the "Claude Code" tool so that it is exclusively available on their "Max" tier plan (or equivalent highest-tier plan), removing it from all lower-tier, free, or individual plans where it was previously available. Otherwise, it resolves to NO.

Resolution will be determined by official announcements on the Anthropic blog (https://www.anthropic.com/news) or updates to the official Anthropic pricing and plan comparison page (https://www.anthropic.com/pricing). If Anthropic discontinues Claude Code entirely, or if the product is rebranded in a way that makes this distinction inapplicable, the market will resolve based on the closest functional equivalent.

Background

Claude Code is a command-line interface tool introduced by Anthropic designed to allow developers to interact with Claude directly within their terminal environment to execute coding tasks. As of early 2026, pricing models for Anthropic's developer tools and AI products are subject to change based on the company's product strategy and competitive positioning in the AI agent space. Traders should monitor Anthropic's official communications for updates regarding feature availability and subscription tier restructuring.
