Prediction markets put the probability at 23%: Ledger IPO before 2027. Currently, markets see this as unlikely (23% YES). SpaceX’s $2 Trillion IPO Is Coming: These 6 Stocks Will Ride the New Space Economy Into Orbit.
The probability of a Ledger IPO before 2027 currently stands at 23%, reflecting persistent skepticism among market participants regarding the French cryptocurrency hardware wallet maker's near-term public listing timeline. Ledger, valued at approximately $1.5 billion in its 2023 Series C extension, has not publicly confirmed any formal filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers. The broader IPO landscape in 2026 is dominated by mega-cap tech names such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, which are expected to collectively raise over $100 billion in primary and secondary offerings, according to PitchBook data. This concentration of institutional and retail capital toward high-profile, large-cap listings may crowd out smaller fintech and crypto-native issuers like Ledger, whose revenue model remains heavily tied to volatile digital asset trading volumes.

The 77% NO probability suggests that traders view regulatory and market structure hurdles as significant barriers to a Ledger IPO before 2027. Unlike traditional fintech IPOs such as Revolut, which CEO Nik Storonsky recently signaled is at least two years away from a public listing while pursuing a U.S. banking charter, Ledger faces additional compliance complexity under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which took full effect in December 2025. MiCA imposes strict capital and custody requirements on crypto service providers, potentially increasing Ledger's pre-IPO compliance costs. Furthermore, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Chair Gary Gensler has maintained an aggressive enforcement posture toward crypto firms, with over 40 enforcement actions filed in 2025 alone, creating an uncertain jurisdictional path for a dual-listing strategy.

Looking ahead, the key catalyst for a potential Ledger IPO before 2027 would be a sustained recovery in cryptocurrency market capitalization above $3 trillion, which would boost hardware wallet sales and recurring service revenue. Ledger's last publicly disclosed revenue figure was approximately $600 million in 2024, with 60% derived from device sales and the remainder from its Ledger Live subscription and staking services. For comparison, the 2021 crypto bull run saw Ledger ship over 4 million units, but subsequent bear markets in 2022–2023 cut shipments by roughly 40%. The company would also need to demonstrate consistent profitability—currently estimated at a 15–20% EBITDA margin—to attract the institutional underwriting support required for a listing on either the Euronext Paris or NASDAQ. Without a clear regulatory framework for crypto-native IPOs and a material uptick in digital asset prices, the 23% probability is likely to persist. [24/7 Wall St., Apr 19]
