#MetaMask Parent Consensys Taps Wall Street for 2026 IPO


JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs have been tapped to advise on a potential initial public offering for Consensys, the $ETH infrastructure company behind the MetaMask wallet. Axios reported Wednesday that the listing could occur as soon as 2026, citing unnamed sources, though specific valuation and size details remain undisclosed.


Founded by $ETH co-founder Joseph Lubin in 2014, Consensys develops tools, infrastructure, and applications for the #Ethereum network. The company raised $450 million in 2022 at a $7 billion valuation, establishing it as one of the most valuable private firms in the digital asset space.


A Consensys spokesperson told media outlets the company "constantly explores opportunities to expand its impact," but has nothing to announce currently. The planned listing follows successful crypto company debuts including #Circle's June IPO at a roughly $6.9 billion valuation and Bullish's August listing on the New York Stock Exchange.


February brought a significant regulatory development when the Securities and Exchange Commission informed Consensys it would dismiss its lawsuit over MetaMask's staking features. The case had alleged the firm operated as an unregistered broker, creating uncertainty around any potential public offering.
