IPOs

BNPL lender Klarna officially revived its highly anticipated IPO, and cryptocurrency exchange Gemini also announced plans for a public offering. The offerings follow Chime and Circle's blockbuster IPOs in June.

Lynn Martin, NYSE's president, said the surge in retail investment bodes well for overall market health. 

Klarna Group Plc is considering reviving its potential New York initial public offering as soon as September, people familiar with the matter said, following a recent surge in fintech stock prices and strong debuts of US listings.

The U.K. fintech's shares fell about 5% in London, partly due to international currency volatility. It hopes a U.S. listing will improve the company's ability to raise capital.

The wealth management and digital banking fintech is following in the footsteps of other fintech IPOs as the market rallies around Chime and Circle.

In an interview with American Banker following Circle's IPO debut, President Heath Tarbert discussed the stablecoin issuer's go-public timing, the importance of regulation and transparency and how the fintech sees itself working with banks.

The stablecoin issuer's initial public offering is widely seen as a bellwether for the cryptocurrency industry at large. Circle's stock traded as high as $95.98 midday Thursday, nearly triple its $31-a-share pricing.

The payments company hopes to build its brand outside of its U.K. home base while attracting a deeper investor pool.

The stablecoin issuer has kicked off its initial public offering after reportedly delaying it due to macroeconomic uncertainty caused by Trump's tariff plans last month. It first filed its S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in April.

After a drop in fintech venture capital exit value from IPOs, neobanks and other financial tech startups are closely watching Chime's initial public offering.

The neobank filed for an initial public offering on Tuesday shortly after announcing a new office lease in New York City.

The Swedish institution's New York listing, which was viewed as a sign of fintech's recovery, has been delayed due to market volatility.

A Plaid spokesperson said an IPO remains 'a milestone we're tracking toward' but it wouldn't happen this year.

Even though it's coming during a volatile period for the markets and economy, the cryptocurrency company's planned listing puts pressure on rivals and regulators.

As Klarna wins installment lending for the retail giant's OnePay app, rival Affirm seeks to downplay the loss.

The payment company's listing comes amid market and political volatility, but the Swedish firm has its strong recent financial performance and distribution deals with JPMorgan Chase and Walmart on its side.

The Swedish institution is best known in the U.S. for its buy/now pay later lending. Its New York listing will be a bellwether for the payments technology industry, which is recovering from a post-pandemic slump

The enhanced fintech partnership would build merchant scale, and selling U.K. and U.S. portfolios would free up cash.

Citigroup now operates Grupo Financiero Citi México and Grupo Financiero Banamex in Mexico. The New York-based bank is planning an initial public offering of Banamex as soon as regulators and market conditions allow for the public offering.

Buy now/pay later popularity has been on the rise as more consumers are turning to short-term installment lending to finance everyday purchases. The Swedish financier will find out if that momentum will be a winner with investors in the U.S.
