According to CoinDesk, French crypto hardware wallet company Ledger has suspended its U.S. IPO plans due to unfavorable market conditions. Sources familiar with the matter said Ledger was previously valued at approximately $4 billion and had engaged Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays as IPO advisors—but it has not yet filed any registration documents with the SEC. The company may instead consider private fundraising. Earlier, Kraken also paused its IPO citing market conditions, while publicly listed BitGo’s stock price has fallen roughly 36% from its offering price, indicating a broad cooling of enthusiasm among crypto firms for U.S. listings.

According to The Block, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, noted that three enterprise-grade blockchains—Arc (by Circle), Canton Network, and Tempo (by Stripe)—have collectively raised over $1 billion in funding recently. All three funding rounds occurred after the signing of the GENIUS Act in July 2025. Hougan believes this legislation broke a prior regulatory stalemate that had discouraged institutional capital from entering the space. Hougan identified three key signals: First, all three blockchains prioritize native privacy-preserving transactions as a core design feature, addressing institutions’ need for transaction confidentiality. Second, the implementation of the GENIUS Act has significantly reduced regulatory uncertainty; the next critical variable is the pending Clarity Act, from which stablecoins and tokenization infrastructure stand to benefit. Third, these blockchains are backed by top-tier institutions—including Goldman Sachs, Citadel, BlackRock, Stripe, and Visa—marking a stark contrast to Ethereum and Solana, which emerged from grassroots origins. Hougan stated that his firm’s capital remains primarily allocated to native crypto projects, and he believes these emerging enterprise chains will raise the overall competitive bar and attract additional capital inflows.

Garrett Jin, agent of “1011 Insider Whale,” published an analysis pointing out that the current market is pricing in “peace expectations,” driving sustained gains in risk assets—but this is markedly diverging from the actual supply-demand dynamics in the energy market. Data shows the S&P 500 has hit a new all-time high, while Brent crude oil has rebounded to approximately $103 per barrel. Earlier in March, hedge funds aggressively shorted the market; Goldman Sachs data indicated a short-to-long ratio peaking at 7.6:1—the fastest net selling pace in 13 years. Yet the core assumptions underpinning the market rally—resumption of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, falling oil prices, declining inflation, and Federal Reserve rate cuts—remain unfulfilled. The gap between forward earnings expectations and actual earnings has surged to levels last seen at the 2021 peak; historically, similar gaps have preceded bear markets, such as the 2022 downturn.
