Consensys Delays IPO to Fall 2026 Amid Market Headwinds

According to BlockBeats, on May 14, 2026, Consensys, the Ethereum software firm behind MetaMask wallet, postponed its planned initial public offering from spring to at least autumn this year. The delay follows persistent market pressure since February affecting other major crypto enterprises.

Consenys last raised capital in early 2022 via a Series D round that valued the company at approximately $7 billion and secured $450 million in funding from investors including Microsoft and SoftBank. The company operates MetaMask with over 30 million monthly active users. The SEC withdrew its lawsuit against Consensys in February 2026, removing a key legal barrier to the planned offering.
