Payward Inc., the parent company of cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, has delayed its initial public offering, with the new listing window now set for mid-2027 at the earliest, according to CoinDesk. The move shifts the company’s expected path to public markets further out than previously anticipated.
Payward had already filed a confidential S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2025. The revised timeline points to a longer preparation period as the company weighs volatile market conditions and the regulatory backdrop before moving ahead with a listing.
The adjustment also pushes back the liquidity event that some market participants had been expecting on a tighter schedule. No additional pricing, valuation, or listing venue details were disclosed in the report.
