During an interview with the South China Morning Post, Michael Wu, CEO of the Hong Kong-based crypto unicorn Amber Group, said that the company is considering a direct listing within the next two years.

Founded in 2017 by a group of quantitative traders from Morgan Stanley, Amber Group has more than 400 employees worldwide and an AUM of over $1.5 billion in crypto assets from institutional and retail investors. Amber allows customers to earn interest from cryptocurrency deposits (annualized interest rate up to 16%), which are used to lend to other entities at a higher interest rate.

In June, Amber Group raised US$100 million in Series B financing from major investors, including China Renaissance Capital, Tiger Securities, Tiger Global Management, and Coinbase.
