Inside the $4.2B Bullish-Equiniti Deal
summary
Bullish buys Equiniti for $4.2 billion acquisition to create an end‑to‑end tokenized securities stack that combines issuance, registry, trading and settlement on one ledger. Equiniti already maintains records for 2,500+ issuers and ~$500 billion in payments a year. The architecture makes the token the share (not a derivative), removes duplicate registers, and aims to unlock new pockets of liquidity for listed stocks by bringing issuance and smart‑contract settlement into a single platform.
