According to PANews, Joe Lubin, the CEO of Consensys, has expressed the company's interest in using cryptocurrency-native methods to attract public investment. The company is currently exploring acquisition opportunities.
When asked about Consensys' plans for going public, Lubin stated, 'We have been discussing this for a long time. In our ecosystem, there are different ways to go public. You can launch a protocol, tokenize the protocol, or externalize the project. If we go public in some form, we always prefer to use our own technology.' Lubin did not disclose which method would be used, but he did indicate that Consensys might spin off MetaMask or other departments, such as toolkit developers Infura or Layer2 network Linea.
Lubin hinted that Consensys is preparing some projects. He revealed that Consensys is collaborating with auditing firm KPMG, but declined to provide further details. However, he made it clear that Consensys would choose to go public via blockchain, rather than listing on NASDAQ or other stock exchanges. Lubin stated, 'If we go public in some form, we always prefer to use our own technology to do something. This does not mean that we want to give up the US capital market, because the US capital market has depth and liquidity. But there may be some ways to use our own technology to go public, while still being able to use it.'
