Bitpanda Skips London IPO: Why High Growth Companies are Heading East

Crypto exchange Bitpanda has abandoned plans to list on the London Stock Exchange, citing poor liquidity as the key reason for their decision. Instead, they are now exploring potential listings in Frankfurt or New York, where investor demand and market strength is considered a better fit for their growth ambitions. This move aligns with wider trends of high-growth companies shifting capital towards US markets. The UK IPO scene has hit near-record lows, raising concerns about London’s ability to support tech and crypto IPOs.
