LMAX Explores Sale, IPO with Morgan Stanley, KBW
LMAX Group, a London-based institutional crypto and foreign‑exchange trading venue, is exploring strategic options including a potential sale or IPO, with Morgan Stanley and KBW advising and a possible Nasdaq listing that could value the business up to about $5 billion. The push comes alongside strong 2024 profitability and high institutional trading volumes, underscoring its role as a crypto‑adjacent infrastructure play insulated by its FX core, while maintaining a track record of institutional focus rather than token issuance.
