Consensys, an Ethereum application developer, has postponed its IPO plan due to market conditions.

According to CoinDesk, Consensys—an Ethereum application developer—has postponed its initial public offering (IPO) plans due to the significant downturn in the cryptocurrency market in February 2026. Sources familiar with the matter said Consensys had originally planned to confidentially file its S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) around the end of February this year—a step typically marking the first formal stage of the IPO process. In response, a Consensys spokesperson stated that the company does not comment on market speculation. The report notes that although improved regulatory clarity in the U.S. has prompted several crypto firms to plan for public listings, prolonged market weakness has led companies including Kraken and Ledger to pause their IPO plans.
