📝 What you need to know

Following last year’s blockbuster Circle IPO and other notable public offerings from the likes of eToro, Gemini, and Bullish, we now know what may be the first big crypto IPO for 2026: wallet and custody firm BitGo.

The company’s Monday filing with the SEC outlines plans to debut on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BTGO, with 11.8 million shares to be offered at a price of $15-$17 per share. That would raise as much as $200 million for BitGo, while valuing the company as high as nearly $2 billion. The IPO is slated for January 21, so investors won’t have to wait long to see the next crypto stock hit the market.
