More than 100 companies are getting ready to list on Nasdaq after filing confidentially with the SEC, Nasdaq’s CEO Adena Friedman told investing publication Barron’s. If that does come to happen, the IPO drought that the tech industry has suffered for months will draw to a close sooner than later. The Exchange explores startups, markets and money. Still we at least know about one company filing confidentially for an IPO: Circle. We still have a few questions about the company’s finances, but this filing makes us more optimistic about its chances this time around.
