According to Crypto Rover, Trump-backed American Bitcoin has officially gone public through a merger with Gryphon, marking a significant development for crypto-related equities and the broader Bitcoin ecosystem (source: Crypto Rover, May 12, 2025). This public listing is expected to boost investor confidence in U.S.-based Bitcoin operations, potentially increasing liquidity and attracting institutional interest in crypto mining stocks. Traders should watch for volatility in related equities and monitor sector ETFs for increased volume as traditional finance gains new exposure to Bitcoin through this high-profile merger.

According to Paolo Ardoino, Tether does not need to go public. This decision suggests Tether aims to maintain operational flexibility and avoid the regulatory scrutiny that comes with public listings. Traders should note that Tether's private status allows it to potentially offer stablecoin services without the constraints of public company reporting requirements, which could impact its market positioning and liquidity options.
