If such a company goes public, will everyone hold its stock for the long term? It feels like the stocks of crypto companies lack confidence. It’s somewhat similar to the play in the A-shares market, going public to cash out and then wanting to run.
Security company CertiK is considering an IPO, aiming for a valuation of $2 billion.
Blockchain security auditing company CertiK is exploring the possibility of an initial public offering (IPO), with a target valuation of around $2 billion.
Ronghui Gu, co-founder of CertiK and an associate professor of computer science at Columbia University, stated in an interview this week in Davos, Switzerland, that although a specific timeline for going public has not been established, an IPO has become a clear goal for the company.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York, CertiK primarily provides smart contract auditing and security services for blockchain projects. The most recent financing occurred in 2022, when CertiK's valuation reached $2 billion in a B3 round led by Insight Partners, Tiger Global, and Advent International, with a financing scale of $88 million. Ronghui Gu stated that Binance is CertiK's earliest and currently largest financial supporter, with investors including Coinbase and SoftBank. $BNB
