CoinVoice has learned that, according to three informed sources, cryptocurrency brokerage FalconX has had preliminary discussions regarding an initial public offering (IPO), with a possibility of submitting a listing application as early as this year. This move is expected to help the company further meet the growing demand for digital assets among institutional investors. Sources familiar with the matter state that FalconX has engaged in informal talks with bankers and advisors to explore the feasibility of an IPO. As the company accelerates its strategic partnerships and acquisition plans to better serve the strong demand for cryptocurrencies from institutional clients, FalconX is considering entering the public market. Currently, FalconX has not hired an investment bank, which is typically the first step in initiating the listing process. Data shows that FalconX's most recent valuation was $8 billion, based on a $150 million funding round completed in 2022. [Original link]
