Reverse Takeover

Definition

A reverse takeover is a corporate maneuver where a private company acquires a public company to bypass the traditional initial public offering process. In the digital asset sector, this might involve a blockchain startup or crypto project merging with a publicly traded shell company. The private entity gains public listing status without undergoing a lengthy and costly IPO. This strategy offers a faster route to public markets and increased liquidity for early investors. It allows for a quicker entry into regulated trading environments.
