Crypto Settlement Firm Tap Global to List on London’s AIM Market as Eyes Record
Key Takeaways
- Tap Global plans to list on London’s AIM market, transitioning from its previous listing on the Aquis Exchange.
- The firm serves 380,000+ users across the U.K., EEA, and EU through a partnership with Clear Junction.
- Tap’s move aligns with the U.K.’s evolving crypto policy, where regulators are considering easing retail access restrictions on crypto products.
Crypto settlement firm Tap Global is shifting to London’s AIM market to broaden its access to capital markets amid evolving U.K. crypto regulation.
The Gibraltar-regulated fintech, previously listed on the Aquis Exchange, views the shift as a step toward greater institutional visibility and investor engagement.
Tap Global to Join London’s AIM Market
Tap Global, a fintech app for sending and receiving fiat and crypto, plans to go public in London by listing on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange.
The company, positioning itself as a bridge between traditional finance and crypto, expects trading in its ordinary shares to begin on 27 June.
Founded in 2018, Tap was previously listed on the Aquis Exchange, which Switzerland’s Six Group acquired last year for £207 million. As part of the move, Tap will cancel its Aquis listing.
Tap Global Ltd.’s subsidiary holds a regulated DLT license in Gibraltar. Its platform enables users to trade over 50 crypto assets with a single account across various exchanges.
It also offers fiat currency wallets in seven major currencies, including GBP, EUR, and USD.
Thanks to its partnership with Clear Junction, the company supports over 380,000 registered users and provides payment accounts for individuals and businesses across the U.K., EEA, and EU.
Positive Outlook for Future Results
Arsen Torosian, CEO of Tap Group, said , “This move to AIM is the logical next step in our evolution, driven by a landmark financial year where we expect to report record revenues and our first full year of positive EBITDA.”
Tap Global’s board believes AIM is the right platform for a company “of our scale and ambition, providing the profile and access to a wider investor base that will support our growth.”
“Our strategic ambition is to make Tap the digital finance platform of choice globally for the large and growing number of people and businesses seeking money and crypto services in one place,“ Torosian added.
With the new listing, the company aims to gain attention — and money — from a wider plethora of investors while already providing an optimistic outlook.
Revenue for the first half of 2025 is expected to be approximately £1.80 million, up from £1.29 million in the same period last year, or roughly 40%.
Notably, the company doubled the monthly revenue in December 2024 of £451,000, signaling the strong trading momentum carried into the second half of the last financial year.
This performance is achieved following the cost-saving initiatives implemented in the last financial year. As a result, the company expects to report a positive EBITDA for 2025.
U.K. Moves Toward a Friendlier Crypto Environment
Tap Global’s move follows recent crypto IPOs and reflects the U.K.’s shift toward a friendlier crypto environment.
The U.K.’s financial watchdog recently proposed lifting the ban on retail access to crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs), allowing individual investors to trade them on FCA-approved exchanges under strict safeguards.
Currently limited to professional investors, cETNs would become available to retail buyers with clear risk disclosures. The FCA aims to support crypto growth while ensuring investor protection.
The ban on retail crypto derivatives remains, but the FCA continues building a regulatory framework for digital assets and plans to ease some financial reporting requirements to encourage innovation.
