“Crypto Banks” are lining up to go IPO
Anchorage, the first crypto firm to obtain a federal banking charter in the US, is looking to raise up to $400M ahead of potential IPO in 2027. The New York-based firm operates a full-service digital asset platform, offering custody, trading, and staking across hundreds of crypto assets.
BitGo, a competitor to Anchorage filed its IPO plan with the SEC earlier this week, and crypto exchange Kraken submitted its own filing in November and is targeting a debut in early 2026. In Europe, Bitpanda is lining up for a Frankfurt stock market debut in the first half of 2026.
