PIPE Trading and Token Vault: The Encryption Revolution of Listed Companies
Encryption vaults are undergoing a major transformation. No longer limited to simply holding Bitcoin, they are evolving towards a new model of multi-chain layout, native staking, and token dividends. This revolution is blurring the lines between traditional listed companies and native encryption protocols.
Introduction to PIPE Trading
PIPE is the abbreviation for "Private Investment in Public Equity", referring to private investors injecting capital into publicly listed companies at a discounted price. This method is favored for its speed and simplicity, and is becoming the preferred path for encryption companies to enter the capital market.
