InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Prime Blockchain is reportedly in talks to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger with 10X Capital Venture Acquisition II (NASDAQ:VCXA).
Let’s jump into that news below!
- Starting off, Prime Blockchain is a crypto mining company that wants to compete with other publicly-traded competitors.
- Reports claim that the SPAC values the company at $1.5 billion.
- They also state that the SPAC will raise $150 million through a private investment in public equity (PIPE) as part of the merger.
- Prime Blockchain has the leadership needed to make its SPAC merger a success.
- That includes Gaurav Budhrani recently joining the company as its CEO.
- Budhrani is a former Goldman Sachs vice president that was heading its crypto investment banking coverage.
- It’s worth noting that 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp. II is still new to the public market.
- The SPAC only went public back in August.
- That saw it join the public market via a $200 million initial public offering (IPO)
- Of course, there are dangers that come with investing in a SPAC company.
- Not only could the SPAC merger go south and not come to fruition, but manipulation is a real fear.
- Meme stock traders have been targeting SPACs lately for their pump and dump schemes.
- That makes sense as SPACs and company’s that go public through them have relatively low entry points.
- That holds true today with some 420,000 shares of VCXA stock on the move today.
- That’s quite the jump from its daily average trading volume of 74,000 shares.
VCXA stock was up 8.7% as of Thursday morning.
