Chia's aspirations for a public listing go back to bull run of 2021, when Bloomberg reported the blockchain raised $61 million in a Series D funding round, led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Richmond Global Ventures, at $500 million valuation. At the time, then Chief Operating Officer (now CEO) Gene Hoffman was reported to have said that it was on "an accelerated timeline" to an IPO.
Chia's native token XCH at press time wasn't showing much reaction to the news, maintaining its 2.6% advance over the past 24 hours.
XCH rose more than 10% shortly afterwards and at 16:45 UTC was higher by 12.3%.
