Bullish on Crypto? An IPO and its implications for corporate fundraising

Concerns about the adoption of cryptocurrencies often centre on their volatility, decentralisation and lack of regulation and therefore invite chaos into a system which despises uncertainty. Bullish’s IPO is prescient, not only in its name and in how many feel about cryptocurrencies, but also in the potential future the global financial system is facing when it comes to, not only payment, but also the raising and usage of capital. For companies, the ability to raise equity and have it available for operational use almost immediately is a notable departure from conventional processes. At this stage, it remains too early to tell whether Bullish’s approach will be replicated more widely, but it provides a useful case study in how digital assets could begin to influence corporate fundraising. The real question is whether Bullish’s example remains an outlier or marks the beginning of a broader transformation in global finance.
