Bullish Global Weighs IPO as Early as This Year Amid Crypto Market Optimism: Bloomberg
Feb 5, 2025 2:46 AM

Crypto ( CRCW ) exchange Bullish Global is considering selling shares to the public for the first time at some point during 2025, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The company, which owns CoinDesk, is working with Jefferies Financial Group ( JEF ) on the potential listing, Bloomberg said.

Talks of an initial public offering (IPO) comes as the prices of bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies have shot up since Donald Trump won the U.S. election in November. The total crypto market has climbed to to $3.15 trillion from $2.2 trillion. On Tuesday, U.S. crypto czar David Sacks spoke about a golden age for digital assets.

Led by CEO Tom Farley, Bullish has more than 275 employees worldwide including Hong Kong, the U.S. and Europe. It is is a subsidiary of Block.one, a blockchain software company headed by Brendan Blumer whose backers include Peter Thiel, Alan Howard and Richard Li.

Blumer, who also serves as Bullish's chairman, launched the company in 2021. Bullish has around $10 billion in digital assets and cash, according to the report. It had planned to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2021. The plan was canceled the following year.

Discussions around the IPO are ongoing, including additional banking partners, Bloomberg said.

Representatives from Bullish and Block.one didn't respond to Bloomberg, and Jefferies declined to comment. A CoinDesk email to Bullish seeking comment was not answered before publication.
