Cryptocurrency company Bullish announced on Friday it had agreed to go public on the New York Stock Exchange through a merger with Far Peak Acquisition, a special purpose acquisition company led by ex-NYSE president Thomas Farley, in a $9 billion deal.
Bullish, a unit of blockchain software company Block.one, plans to launch a regulated crypto exchange later this year. The company is backed by billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel’s Thiel Capital and Founders Fund, British hedge fund manager Alan Howard, US hedge fund manager Louis Bacon, Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li, German investor Christian Angermayer’s Apeiron Investment Group, Galaxy Digital, and Japanese bank Nomura.
