🚨 $5 BILLION CRYPTO EXIT: LMAX Just Hired Wall Street's Biggest Names
LMAX Group — one of the longest-running institutional crypto trading platforms — is reportedly exploring a sale, SPAC merger, or IPO, according to people familiar with the matter.
The London-based firm has brought in Morgan Stanley and KBW (a Stifel company) to weigh its options. Sources say a deal could value LMAX at up to $5 Billion.
This comes right after LMAX launched a 24/7 multi-asset exchange and landed a $150M strategic investment from Ripple tied to institutional stablecoin adoption — a sign institutional crypto infrastructure is heating up fast.
If it goes public, LMAX joins a very short list of pure-play crypto trading firms on public markets — Coinbase being the biggest name so far.
No official confirmation, valuation, or timeline yet — but Wall Street circling institutional crypto platforms says a lot about where smart money thinks this market is headed. 👀
