Shrinking Public Listings Drive Need for Reform

Did you know? In 2000, U.S. exchanges held about 7,000 public companies, a number that has decreased to approximately 4,500, prompting the need for pro-listing reforms.

Bitcoin (BTC) holds a market cap of $2.12 trillion and a price of $106,832.38. According to CoinMarketCap, BTC’s 24-hour value rose 1.49%, with a 90-day increase of 22.13%, amidst a 34.14% drop in trading volume.

Coincu research suggests that these capital market reform talks could lead to more tech and fintech firms opting for public listings. The increased IPO activity may push market boundaries, potentially providing opportunities for digital assets and technology-driven sectors.
