Busy Month for IPOs
BitGo’s filing arrives at a time when the U.S. IPO market is heating up again. The Federal Reserve’s recent rate cuts have boosted liquidity, encouraging more companies to go public.
Recent data shows that October alone has already raised $7 billion across 14 offerings, the busiest month for IPOs since 2020.
In the crypto sector, excitement is building as firms like Circle and Gemini test investor appetite. Circle’s IPO was a huge success earlier this year, while Gemini’s debut has been more volatile. BitGo’s move now adds another major player to the growing list of crypto firms aiming to cement their place on Wall Street.
