Bullish Company Info: 

Bullish operates a cryptocurrency exchange geared to institutional clients and also owns CoinDesk, a prominent crypto media and data brand. The company, led by former NYSE Group president Tom Farley and backed by Thiel, a billionaire investor, was founded in 2021. 

The firm's Bullish crypto exchange offers spot and derivatives trading, reporting cumulative platform volumes above $1 trillion since launch as of this year's filings.

With the BLSH listing, Bullish becomes one of the year's most-watched crypto market debuts, adding to a streak of recent high-profile IPOs.
