The cryptocurrency industry witnessed a major institutional breakthrough in 2025 as multiple leading platforms accelerated their Wall Street ambitions. Circle, the stablecoin infrastructure provider, and Bullish, the exchange platform, made significant strides toward public offerings, while eToro, the social trading platform, successfully joined the ranks of publicly listed crypto firms. Meanwhile, Kraken, one of the prominent centralized exchanges, positioned itself for its market debut, signaling growing confidence from mainstream capital markets in the digital asset sector.
This wave of IPOs reflects the industry's maturation and increasing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrency infrastructure providers. As these companies transition from private operations to public markets, they bring greater transparency and regulatory scrutiny, further legitimizing crypto's role in global finance.

Big institutions entering the market just want to harvest the little guys; IPOs are just a different disguise to continue the same old trick.

Is the IPO wave coming? Wall Street is really starting to take crypto seriously now.
Wait, does increased transparency necessarily mean a good thing... The regulatory sword is also sharpening quickly.
Circle and Bullish's moves seem to be putting shackles on the entire industry. Come to think of it, maybe this is the most prudent way to operate.
eToro is already listed? I'm still losing money on contracts, lol.

wait, can this IPO wave really solve the on-chain liquidity problem… or is it just a new trick to harvest retail investors in the end?
