Blockchain.com Eyes $500M IPO at Up to $6B Valuation in 2024
Blockchain.com is targeting a $500 million IPO this year, seeking a valuation as high as $6 billion as crypto markets regain momentum.
Blockchain.com, one of the oldest and most recognized names in the cryptocurrency industry, is pursuing an initial public offering that could raise approximately $500 million and value the company at up to $6 billion, according to reporting from CoinDesk.

How the offering is received could function as a broader referendum on whether traditional investors are genuinely ready to underwrite crypto infrastructure at scale, or whether enthusiasm remains concentrated in token markets rather than equity ones. Analysts watching the sector will be looking closely at disclosed revenue and margin figures when any prospectus is filed.
