PANews, July 24: According to CoinDesk, institutional crypto trading platform LMAX Group is collaborating with Morgan Stanley and investment bank KBW to evaluate strategic options, including a potential sale, SPAC merger, or IPO on Nasdaq or in Europe, with a possible valuation of up to $5 billion. Sources familiar with the matter said the company is not in a rush to go public, as its foreign exchange business provides support amid a weak crypto market. In recent years, LMAX has accelerated its expansion by launching a 24/7 multi-asset exchange supporting forex, digital assets, commodities, and tokenized securities. In January of this year, it received a $150 million strategic investment from Ripple to drive institutional adoption of the RLUSD stablecoin through its trading and settlement network.
