Figma's stock (FIG) experienced a significant drop of over 7% on Friday, following the launch of Anthropic's Claude Design, an AI-driven product that enables users to create designs, prototypes, and more. This decline is compounded by a previous 6% decrease earlier in the week after the resignation of Mike Krieger, the Chief Product Officer of Anthropic, from Figma's board on April 14.
