Financials Market: Revolut Confirms Dual IPO on Nasdaq and LSE
Revolut's co-founder and CEO Nik Storonsky confirmed plans for a dual IPO on both the Nasdaq and the London Stock Exchange. The company is currently valued at $115 billion privately, with internal targets of $150B to $200B at listing. The announcement comes after years of Storonsky criticizing London's market as 'irrational,' and the article analyzes why London is considered the 'best available deal' rather than a true vote of confidence. The piece also discusses Wise's LSE-to-Nasdaq migration as a precedent, and separately covers Meta's launch of its 'Muse' connector, positioning Meta as a potential 'App Store for Agentic Commerce' following its acquisition of Stilla. The newsletter includes bonus content on Revolut's recent data breach and reasons for bullishness on the fintech.
