Blockchain and smart-contract platform Chia Network, founded by Bram Cohen, inventor of BitTorrent, has submitted a confidential draft registration for a proposed initial public offering (IPO) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The size and price range for the offering has not yet been determined. Chia raised $61 million in a Series D funding round in 2021, led by Andreessen Horowitz and Richmond Global Ventures, at a $500 million valuation, and at the time, its then-COO (now-CEO) said the company was on "an accelerated timeline" to an IPO. The native token XCH showed little response to the news, with a 2.59% increase on the day but no upward movement since the announcement.
