The exchange reported a profitable year in 2024 with around $80 million in net income. However, the early months of 2025 have not been as favorable. Bullish recorded a steep first-quarter loss of nearly $350 million, largely due to increased spending on cybersecurity upgrades, platform development, and global expansion efforts. Despite this loss, Bullish maintains a strong liquidity position, holding nearly $2 billion in cash, Bitcoin, stablecoins, and other digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bullish operates across several countries, with its main headquarters in the Cayman Islands and regional subsidiaries in places like Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Gibraltar. Its Hong Kong subsidiary handles critical aspects of its business, including cybersecurity and platform engineering, giving it strategic flexibility in regulatory matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exchange plans to raise approximately $100 million through the public offering. It has partnered with several leading investment banks to underwrite the deal, positioning itself for a potentially strong debut. Underwriters have also been granted the option to purchase additional shares, depending on investor demand during the listing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This IPO filing marks Bullish\u2019s second attempt to go public.
