After 2025’s Test Run, Crypto IPOs Face Their Real Trial in 2026
"2026 is where we find out if crypto IPOs are a durable asset class," according to Laura Katherine Mann, a partner at global law firm White & Case.
What to know:
- 2025 is the test-case year for crypto IPOs, but 2026 will be the real verdict, when markets decide if digital asset listings are a durable asset class or just a bull-market trade, says White & Case partner Laura Katherine Mann.
- The 2026 roster skews toward financial infrastructure, regulated exchanges and brokerages, custody and infrastructure providers, and stablecoin payments and treasury platforms.
- A more constructive U.S. regulatory backdrop and rising institutionalization support the IPO window, but Mann says valuation discipline, macro risk and crypto price action will determine how many deals actually make it to market.
