A confidential filing allows the company to begin the SEC review process before publicly disclosing financial details.
Com is a cryptocurrency financial services company that offers a crypto exchange, wallet services, institutional trading, and lending products. U.S. through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, according to reports.
Crypto firms entered 2026 expecting a strong year for IPOs after public debuts from companies including Circle and Bullish helped reopen investors to digital-asset businesses last year. Deteriorating market conditions, weaker trading volumes, and disappointing post-listing performance from newly public companies like BitGo have since cooled investor appetite.
As a result, several major firms, including Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, Ethereum app builder Consensys, and hardware wallet maker Ledger, have either delayed or paused their IPO plans while they wait for market conditions to improve.
The IPO remains subject to market conditions and completion of the SEC review process.
