Abstract generation in progress

[Chain News] Wall Street is making big moves again. According to sources, New York brokerage Clear Street is preparing for an IPO, which could launch as soon as January next year. Goldman Sachs may lead the underwriting, and the estimated valuation could reach the $10-12 billion range.

This brokerage has been quite active in the crypto space recently. They have underwritten offerings for crypto-themed stocks like Strategy, and have also partnered with Trump’s Media & Technology Group—which recently announced plans to spend billions to build its own Bitcoin reserve.

It’s no surprise that traditional brokerages are eyeing crypto business, as this pie keeps getting bigger. Clear Street’s latest move is another sign of Wall Street’s embrace of digital assets. The timing is also interesting, coinciding with the current crypto market rally, so valuation negotiations probably won’t be too tough.

Bro, this timing is insane. Catching this wave of the market and doing an IPO is pure profit. As soon as Clear Street partnered up with Trump’s side, they started working on a Bitcoin reserve vault. This play is really slick. Even the Wall Street crowd is finally getting anxious and trying to grab a piece of the crypto pie. A valuation of over $10 billion... I just want to know who’s brave enough to take that off their hands. Wait, Goldman Sachs is leading the underwriting? Then this thing is pretty much a done deal. The main thing is the crypto market is just too hot right now—traditional finance has to ride the wave or they’ll seriously get left behind. Launching in January next year? I bet five bucks the timeline will move up. With this whole combo move, it feels like the entire market sentiment just shifted. The strategy seems a bit all over the place, but with that much money, who cares? I really want to see if the valuation can actually hold up by then.

Here comes another new story to fleece retail investors—Wall Street really shows up at the scent of money. Clear Street is hitching a ride with Trump, that’s a clever move. A valuation of over $10 billion just to get a taste of crypto? Wake up, everyone. Goldman Sachs leading the way? That means the show is just starting, and retail investors are about to get harvested again. Catching this IPO wave right now—the timing is perfect. The real question is whether you can even get an allocation. This is how traditional finance embraces crypto; in reality, it’s just another harvesting scheme.

Another trick to fleece retail investors? Now I trust it even less with Goldman Sachs backing it. --- A valuation of over $10 billion? That seems questionable. --- Wait, now it's linked to Trump? There's definitely going to be some hype. --- To put it bluntly, Wall Street wants a piece of the action now. The crypto pie is gone. --- The timing is just too perfect; I suspect it's a coordinated cash grab. --- As for Clear Street IPO, I'll wait and see. Let's check their real performance first. --- Traditional finance getting involved actually makes me think this cycle might be ending.

A valuation of over 10 billion sounds a bit exaggerated, doesn't it? Haha --- Goldman Sachs is running the show; now Wall Street is really all in on crypto. --- Positioning is really smart—they've timed this perfectly. --- Clear Street doing this feels like they're betting that Trump's BTC reserve plan will actually materialize. --- That's how traditional finance works; when the market is good, everyone rushes in. Who knows, they might lose money again next year. --- Wait, when did this partnership with Strategy happen? How come I never heard about it? --- The pie might be big, but the real worry is that the stock price could drop right after the IPO.

These Wall Street folks really have a sharp sense for things—any little movement in crypto and they jump right in. Wait a second, they're partnering with Trump and planning to build a Bitcoin reserve? This storyline is just too surreal, haha. Clear Street really picked a great time to go public—definitely riding the wave. To be honest, I'm more interested in how Goldman Sachs will price this. Is a valuation of over $10 billion inflated? It was only a matter of time before traditional finance embraced Web3—I saw this coming a while ago.

Wall Street getting in is a signal, the valuation doubling is a sure thing. Goldman Sachs is at the helm again, we've seen this playbook before. How many people did Trump's Bitcoin reserve pitch fool, is it real or fake? The timing is so precise—are they catching the market, or is the market catching them? With a valuation of over $10 billion, it should collapse by next quarter, right?

Wall Street really does have a sharp sense of timing—they’ve seized this IPO window perfectly. It looks like Clear Street just wants to ride the market hype and go public while things are hot. A valuation of over $10 billion does seem a bit optimistic. Can Trump’s Bitcoin reserve plan really materialize? Feels a bit like bragging. High Season is truly High Season—traditional finance folks are finally starting to take crypto seriously. Will they jump straight into spot BTC trading after the IPO? That’s the real question.
