2025 was the year of initial public offerings (IPOs) in the digital assets industry amid a market boom.
Several leading cryptocurrency companies like the <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/circle-shares-indicated-at-50-in-nyse-debut" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Circle Internet Group</a> (NYSE: CRCL), <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/crypto-stock-jumps-over-100-after-ipo-debut" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bullish</a> (NYSE: BLSH), and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/another-crypto-exchange-files-for-ipo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gemini</a> (Nasdaq: GEMI) made their public debut in 2025.

However, the crypto market crash in October 2025, along with the ongoing geopolitical tensions, has put a break on public offerings from the industry.
Still, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/bitgo-shares-surge-in-wall-street-debut-as-non-u-s-access-opens" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BitGo&nbsp;Holdings</a>&nbsp;(NYSE: BTGO) offered its IPO in January 2026 and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/crypto-exchange-blockchaincom-confidentially-files-ipo-2026-05-21/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blockchain.com</a> also recently filed to go public.
As per a major Wall Street bank, there is going to be a flurry of crypto IPOs in the next two years.

<h2 id="jefferies-predicts-crypto-ipos-could-lead-to-1t-public-market">Jefferies predicts crypto IPOs could lead to $1T public market&nbsp;</h2>
As per a recent <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/05/27/crypto-ipos-could-create-massive-usd1-trillion-market-amid-tokenization-wave-jefferies-says" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinDesk report</a>, Jefferies expects a fresh wave of crypto IPOs as institutional adoption of digital asset infrastructure gains momentum across financial institutions.
In a recent report, the investment bank said it expects crypto public listings to accelerate over the next two years and believes the sector could evolve into a $1 trillion public market within five years.
The outlook follows Jefferies’ inaugural <a href="https://www.jefferies.com/events/digital-assets-investor-conference/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Digital Assets Investor Conference</a> in New York, where the bank said investor sentiment reflected growing confidence that blockchain technology is moving beyond the experimental stage and becoming part of mainstream financial infrastructure.
Jefferies identified tokenization, which means turning real world assets (RWAs) into digital tokens on blockchains, as one of the key catalysts driving that transition.
The bank also said clearer regulation could further accelerate adoption, particularly among large and heavily regulated financial institutions.
Jefferies pointed to the proposed <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/live-clarity-act-enters-final-stage-after-senate-committee-vote" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CLARITY Act</a> as a potential turning point for the industry, calling the legislation a possible “missing piece” that could unlock broader institutional investment and push blockchain-based finance further into the mainstream.
