Exodus co-founder and CEO JP Richardson recounted the company's dramatic NYSE listing derailment in May 2024 when regulators pulled approval the night before the debut; the company finally listed on NYSE American in January 2025. He criticized crypto's poor usability with the 'pub test' and app fragmentation, noting users juggle bank, P2P, brokerage, and crypto apps.
