You can also trade certain big name stocks anonymously via cryptocurrencies that track them. I think FTX has some.

Off topic but: watching cryptocurrencies move before recent legislation news (infrastructure bill) hit any public source confirmed to me that DC is the insider trading capital of the country. You dont even need to look hard...like Pelosi's husband buying Amazon calls right before they scored a large cloud computing govt contract. That was absurd.

Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't regulated securities. I don't think insider trading rules apply?

They’re certainly not anonymous on FTX, you have to be KYC’ed both by the exchange and the institution doing the tokenizing. Maybe you can trade anonymously on a DEX somewhere?

Just being on FTX probably makes it much harder for the SEC to find the gains, though.
