MetaMask parent Consensys pursues IPO with JPMorgan and Goldman: Axios
Metamask parent company Consensys is planning an initial public offering, Axios reported Wednesday.
Axios also reported that Consensys has engaged both JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs – each typically involved in most major IPOs – to help it with its planned public offering.
Consensys will, like other crypto firms like Circle and Bullish, which went public this year, look to take advantage of favorable market conditions. Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, staged a particularly successful IPO.
Ever since President Trump took office and adopted a crypto-friendly stance, the market has become markedly more open to investing in firms operating in the digital assets space.
MetaMask, one of the world's most popular crypto wallet providers, has been making news of late. Last month, Ethereum co-founder and Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin said that MetaMask will be launching its much-anticipated MASK native token in the near future.
Then this month, MetaMask said it would launch perpetual futures trading and a new rewards system. Additionally, the wallet provider teased an upcoming prediction markets integration with Polymarket.
"These launches follow MetaMask’s recent confirmation that it will launch a token, long anticipated by the community and now officially in motion, as part of its broader strategy to open new ways for users to engage," MetaMask said at the time.
Consensys is a crypto software company founded in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, focused on building tools, infrastructure, and applications for the Ethereum network. Apart from MetaMask, Consensys has also notably supported the development of the node infrastructure service Infura and Layer 2 network Linea. It is also a backer of the ETH treasury firm SharpLink.
