MetaMask Developer Delays IPO Until Autumn
The developer of the non-custodial wallet MetaMask, ConsenSys, has postponed its plans to go public in the US. According to CoinDesk, the listing will not occur before autumn. Initially, Joseph Lubin's company planned to file with the SEC by the end of February, engaging bankers from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs for the process. The delay is attributed to unfavourable market conditions. In February, the crypto market declined due to macroeconomic uncertainty and outflows from bitcoin ETFs, as investors showed reduced interest in risky assets. ConsenSys is not the only company reconsidering its plans amid volatility: earlier, the trading platform Kraken and wallet manufacturer Ledger also announced a pause in their IPO preparations. Currently, the only major crypto company to go public this year remains BitGo. However, after a successful start, the service's shares fell 46.9% below the offering price. Source: Google Finance. In the first quarter, BitGo's revenue reached $3.8 billion, a 112.6% increase over the same period last year. The growth was driven by digital asset sales and stablecoin issuance services. The company also launched a derivatives trading service, with platform trading volumes reaching approximately $3 billion. Despite revenue growth, the firm's net loss increased to $60.7 million from $25.7 million a year earlier. BitGo attributed the losses to a paper revaluation of bitcoin holdings and employee compensation expenses post-IPO. Cryptocurrency Regulation ConsenSys' Director of Regulatory Affairs, Bill Hughes, urged the US Senate to expedite the passage of the CLARITY Act. He stated that the lack of clear rules forces American crypto businesses offshore. 🚨America Is Handing the Crypto Market to Foreign Competitors. The CLARITY Act Would Change That.🚨The United States is the largest cryptocurrency market on the planet. American users moved over $1 trillion in crypto transactions in the first seven months of 2025 alone. And yet…— Bill Hughes 🦊 (@BillHughesDC) May 8, 2026 Hughes warned that using foreign exchanges poses national security risks: regulators find it harder to combat money laundering and sanctions evasion. The CLARITY Act provides for federal registration of crypto exchanges and brokers. The document requires platforms to comply with AML rules and gives the Treasury tools to monitor transactions. According to Hughes, the law is necessary for major financial institutions. Banks and investment funds are ready to adopt blockchain but await a legal framework. This would help create high-tech jobs and maintain US leadership in the industry. US Senators Jack Reed and Tina Smith have prepared amendments to the CLARITY Act ahead of the final committee vote. News: Sens. Reed (D-R.I.) and Smith (D-Minn.) have filed an amendment ahead of Thursdays markup that will force senators to choose between crypto and the banksThe amendment would incorporate bank’s changes to stablecoin yield restrictions. Tough tough vote for bank-friendly Rs pic.twitter.com/ldxJRmfnQT— Brendan Pedersen (@BrendanPedersen) May 13, 2026 Over 100 comments have been submitted on the project, 40 of which were prepared by Senator Elizabeth Warren. She proposed, among other things, to prohibit the Federal Reserve from opening master accounts for crypto companies. Reed suggested banning the use of digital assets as legal tender, including for tax payments. The American Bankers Association has sent over 8,000 letters to senators. The organization's main complaint is the compromise on stablecoin yields: experts believe the new rules could harm the interests of the traditional financial sector. 🚨NEW: Since last Friday, @ABABankers members have sent more than 8,000 letters to Senate offices urging lawmakers to fix the stablecoin yield compromise, per a source familiar with the effort. It apparently does not include a separate phone call campaign.— Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) May 12, 2026 The US Senate Banking Committee will review the updated document on May 14.

Bitcoin Advocate Kevin Warsh to Lead the Federal Reserve
The U.S. Senate has confirmed Kevin Warsh as the new chair of the Federal Reserve System (Fed). His nomination received 54 votes in favor and 45 against. Warsh will succeed Jerome Powell, whose term ends on May 15. The new chair will serve a four-year term. The Senate also confirmed him as a member of the Fed's Board of Governors for 14 years. Warsh previously served on the regulator's board from 2006 to 2011. Before that, he held executive positions at Morgan Stanley. The new Fed chair is known for his favorable stance on digital assets. He has described bitcoin as an "important asset" that aids authorities in assessing the state of the economy. Financial disclosures revealed that Warsh has invested in crypto projects such as dYdX, Lighter, Polychain Capital, and Dapper Labs. He also owns tokens in Solana and Optimism. One of the key areas of focus for the new Fed chair will be interest rate policy—a topic that has frequently been a source of contention between Powell and President Donald Trump. On May 12, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 3.8% year-over-year increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Weak CPI data triggered a reduction in risk positions in bitcoin derivatives: open interest on major crypto exchanges fell by nearly $1.25 billion. Back in January, Powell revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice had threatened him with criminal charges over testimony given in Congress in June 2025.
Ledger Postpones IPO Amid Market Volatility
The hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger has indefinitely postponed its IPO due to challenging market conditions, according to CoinDesk, citing sources. One insider revealed that the French firm has not submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential filing of documents is typically the first formal step in the process of going public. It is also reported that Ledger is exploring various financing options and has the ability to raise capital privately. News of the company's IPO plans emerged in January, when the wallet manufacturer was valued at approximately $4 billion—three times the figure for 2023. Major banks, including Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays, were acting as advisors for the deal. In November 2025, Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier also mentioned a potential public offering. He noted that as the number of hacking attacks increased, his company's revenue exceeded "hundreds of millions of dollars." Ledger is not the first crypto company to delay an IPO in 2026. In March, the media learned that the exchange Kraken had similarly postponed its plans indefinitely, also citing difficult market conditions. Conversely, custodian BitGo successfully completed its stock offering. In January, the company debuted on the NYSE. This success likely echoes the previous year. In 2025, 11 crypto companies went public, collectively raising $14.6 billion. Earlier in March 2026, Gemini shareholders filed a class-action lawsuit against the crypto exchange. The plaintiffs accuse the platform, its founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and top executives of misleading investors during and after the IPO.
