2025 IPO Check-in

2025 IPO Check-in

As we are now halfway through 2025, it is time to check in on the status of the 2025 IPO Outlook and see which companies have successfully completed an IPO, new companies that have filed, and who else to keep an eye on as the year progresses. Without further ado, let’s check in on 2025 initial public offerings.

Current 2025 IPO Outlook

2025 has been the year that the IPO market has started to thaw out. So far this year, we have seen 159 companies go public via traditional initial public offerings, direct listings, and completed SPAC mergers. With 266 companies going public in 2024, so far, 2025 is on track to outpace last year.

While these numbers are still trailing the highs of 2021, many believe that the IPO markets are poised for a strong 2025, with names like Slide Insurance, Chime, Voyager Technologies, Circle, eToro, and CoreWeave completing offerings. [1]

Cancelled/On Hold IPOs

While there are companies continuing their IPO plans and new companies making plans, there are also some companies that have stated their IPOs are on hold for the near future, or even scrapped their plans completely.

Turo

*Turo

Turo is a short-term car sharing platform, allowing owners to rent out their cars and travelers to access rental cars directly.

After three years in the IPO pipeline, Turo withdrew its plans for an IPO in February 2025. Chief Executive Officer Andre Haddad stated in an email that the board decided “now is not the right time for Turo to pursue a public offering”, noting Turo’s strong performance, reaching $958M in 2024 revenue. He continued on “We plan to take advantage of our company’s plans to remain private in order to make important investments in the business that will build long term value for all stakeholders.”

Ripple

*Ripple

Ripple provides software and cross-border payment solutions using blockchain technology and is the creator of its native cryptocurrency, XRP.

In many potential IPO conversations, Ripple has been an anticipated public listing. However, in April 2025, President Monica Long reported to CNBC that the company sees no immediate need to go public. She stated “At this moment, we have a lot of liquidity” and that Ripple is actively exploring acquisition and expansion opportunities rather than pursuing an IPO.

Plaid

*Plaid

Plaid acts as a middleman between financial institutions and apps, enabling users to securely connect their bank accounts to various financial services.

In April 2025 after its most recent funding round, a company spokesperson told TechCrunch that Plaid does not have plans to go public this year. The company plans to continue working towards an IPO as a longer-term plan but has not attached a specific timeline to a public listing.[16]

Kraken

*Kraken

Kraken is a cryptocurrency exchange that allows users to buy, sell, and trade various cryptocurrencies.

The possibility of a Kraken IPO has been floated since 2021. However, in March 2025, its co-Chief Executive Officer stated that the company is in no rush to go public. In fact, Kraken was considering raising an additional round in advance of any IPO.[17]

Stripe

*Stripe

Stripe provides a payment processing platform that enables businesses to accept and manage online payments, subscriptions, and other financial transactions.

A highly anticipated IPO for a couple of years, Stripe was considering a share sale as of February 2025. According to analysts and consultants, Stripe isn’t quite ready to pursue an IPO, as seen through Stripe’s attempts toward alternative ways to raise capital. Stripe executives have been evasive of the question, with no definite plans or moves being currently made.[18]

Going Public

While the IPO market in 2025 appears to be heating up from the past couple of years, some highly anticipated companies have been delaying or even cancelling their IPO plans. Despite this, other names continue to complete public listings, and new companies begin pursuing their public debuts. It will be interesting to see how 2025 shapes out and which companies are able to successfully debut on the public markets.
