 <p class="paragraph">BitFuFu, a cryptocurrency mining company, achieved a significant milestone by going public on the Nasdaq stock exchange through a merger with Arisz Acquisition Corp.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The company commenced trading on March 1, 2024, using the ticker symbols “FUFU” for its Class A ordinary shares and “FUFUW” for its warrants. The intention to go public was disclosed in early February through documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, on the first day of trading, FUFU faced challenges, with equity mostly remaining stable. The stock opened trading at $6.67 before reaching a daily peak of $8.53. Nevertheless, the stock had declined approximately 4.3% by the market’s close, settling at $6.38.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">It’s worth noting that the Singapore-based <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="mining" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/mining.html">mining</a> company postponed its initial public offering (IPO), originally scheduled for January 2022, through a merger with the same special purpose acquisition company. During that time, BitFuFu was valued at $1.5 billion.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-significance-of-nasdaq-listing-nbsp">Significance of Nasdaq listing&nbsp;</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Following its recent listing on Nasdaq, BitFuFu aims to expand its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="mining" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/mining.html">mining</a> operations. The listing coincides with a period dominated by bullish sentiments in the cryptocurrency sector, driven by Bitcoin’s (BTC) upward trajectory.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the maiden cryptocurrency is striving to establish a new all-time high, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="backed" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/backed.html">backed</a> by positive factors such as the upcoming halving. In this context, BitFuFu CEO Leo Lu views the listing as a move to enhance the credibility of the crypto space.</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p class="paragraph">“Our Nasdaq listing is an essential part of bringing much-needed trust and credibility to the industry. &lt;…&gt; Tapping global capital markets will provide us with the resources to invest in sales, technology, environmentally friendly operations, and supply chain integration which will allow us to offer even better mining services,” Lu said.&nbsp;</p>
 </blockquote>
 <p class="paragraph">BitFuFu had previously secured investments from Bitmain, the largest cryptocurrency <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="mining" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/mining.html">mining</a> equipment manufacturer, leading to the formation of an exclusive strategic partnership focused on cloud <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="mining" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/mining.html">mining</a>.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In alignment with the confirmation of the SPAC merger, BitFuFu received $74 million in Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) from Bitmain, among other stakeholders.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">BitFuFu functions based on a business model encompassing cloud mining, miner hosting, and self-mining. This strategic approach positions the company to navigate market volatility and actively contribute to integrating the global digital asset mining industry.</p>
