Bullish, backed by Peter Thiel, has filed for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the U.S. with a target valuation of $4.23 billion.
Funding through IPO
Bullish plans to issue 20.3 million shares priced between $28 and $31. The IPO is expected to yield up to $629 million, marking a significant financial milestone for the company. The funds raised will primarily be allocated for investment in US dollar-backed stablecoins, emphasizing Bullish’s strategy to strengthen its market position.
BitMine's Strategy on Ethereum
BitMine, another company under Peter Thiel's umbrella, has significantly increased its Ethereum holdings, becoming the world's largest holder of ETH with reserves exceeding $3 billion. BitMine plans to secure 5% of Ethereum's total supply, reminiscent of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment strategies. This initiative may attract more traditional financial institutions to the regulatory sphere of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Prospects for Institutional Investments
