Genesis Digital Assets is considering an initial public offering in the U.S. as the crypto industry’s resurgence gathers pace, Bloomberg’s David Pan reports, citing people familiar with the matter. The crypto mining company, which counts Sam Bankman-Fried’s former hedge fund as an investor, is working with advisers on the potential listing, the people said. The company plans to raise a pre-IPO funding round that’s set to launch as soon as in the coming weeks, one of the people said.
