Bullish posts Q2 progress; Equiniti deal advances toward 2027 close

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Despite a quarterly net loss, the company delivered improved non-IFRS metrics (Adjusted EBITDA $29.5M) and refined 2026 guidance. The Equiniti deal progress and regulatory/regional expansions (GFSC) create near-term catalysts for multiple expansion, while Morgan Stanley’s inflows via CoinDesk benchmarks imply broader institutional demand. The near-term price move will hinge on the Equiniti closing timeline and visibility on 2H revenue mix; however, the combination of EBITDA improvement and a defined M&A path supports a bullish bias over 6–12 months.
