OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace holding more than 97% of the non-fungible token market, has no plans to go public.
Brian Roberts, the company's new chief financial officer, denied his words after rumors of IPO plans caused a negative reaction in the crypto community.
Earlier in an interview with Bloomberg, Roberts outlined the company's development vectors, among which he noted attracting large investors through a possible entry into the stock exchange. This news has caused a negative reaction from the crypto community, which states that a decentralized company cannot go public.
Roberts rejected the idea of going public, saying that this is only one of the possible development options. He tweeted:
“Inaccurate reports have been published about OpenSea's plans. There is a big difference between thinking about what an IPO might look like and actively planning. We have not considered plans to enter an IPO, and if we start planning, we will definitely try to involve the community.
