Bitcoin Firm Set for Major IPO Amid Market Revival
Fold Inc., known for its Bitcoin rewards program, is reportedly on the brink of a major business move that could significantly impact its future and the broader cryptocurrency industry.
As the crypto sector shows signs of revival, the company is nearing a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) to go public.
Sources indicate that Fold Inc. is in the final stages of negotiating a merger with FTAC Emerald Acquisition Corp, a SPAC led by Betsy Cohen. This merger could value Fold at around $500 million. An official announcement is anticipated soon.
Fold Inc. is part of a growing trend of cryptocurrency companies aiming to go public. Bitcoin mining firm Genesis Digital Assets is planning an IPO, and Northern Data AG, which now focuses on AI computing services, is also considering a public listing.

This growth is driven by lower interest rate expectations and the launch of U.S. bitcoin spot ETFs.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": The Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates next week, but a single rate hike won't solve the problem
Nick Timiraos from "The New Federal Reserve News Agency" recently wrote that investors have largely concluded that the Federal Reserve will make its first interest rate hike in three years next week, but the harder question is what will happen afterward. Since almost no one inside the Fed believes that a single 25 basis point rate hike is enough to bring down inflation, a decision to raise rates next week would reflect the judgment that rates were previously set at the wrong level, and a single hike cannot solve the problem. Since the 1990s, the Fed has only had one "one-time" rate hike.
