Bullish (NYSE: BLSH) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Equiniti, the parent company of Notified and a global transfer agent and shareholder services provider, in a transaction valued at $4.2 billion. The acquisition is designed to position Bullish at the forefront of blockchain-native capital markets infrastructure by combining its institutional digital asset platform with Equiniti’s regulated transfer agent capabilities, which support nearly 3,000 public companies and more than 20 million verified shareholders.
Bullish said the combination is intended to create a global transfer agent platform for tokenized securities, addressing what it views as a key infrastructure gap as capital markets increasingly move toward blockchain-based asset issuance and settlement. Equiniti will continue operating under the Bullish umbrella alongside Bullish Exchange and CoinDesk, with closing expected in January 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
