Crypto mining hardware giant Bitmain Technologies Ltd. is said to be relaunching its initial public offering (IPO) plans, but this time in the U.S. instead of Hong Kong.
According to a Bloomberg report citing "people with knowledge of the matter," Bitmain is consulting with advisers over a U.S. public listing, potentially in the second half of 2019. The firm – the world's biggest manufacturer of crypto mining devices – plans to lodge documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in July, according to the sources.

Last September, Bitmain filed to IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), however that effort looked to have met resistance and ultimately the firm let its filing lapse in March.
According to one of Bloomberg's sources, Bitmain may be reducing its previous fundraising target to roughly $300 million–$500 million in the U.S. offering, although that figure is not yet set in stone. It had hoped to raise up to $3 billion via the HKEX share offering.
Bloomberg adds that the preparations for the U.S. IPO are still in the early stages and are subject to change.
Bitmain declined to comment on the news, according to the report.

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
