Where BLSH is headed

Picture mid-2027. Bullish is no longer pitched as 'the crypto exchange that bought CoinDesk.' It's pitched as the Bloomberg-plus-CME of digital assets for institutions that can't touch Binance and won't touch Coinbase's retail-flavoured order book. CoinDesk Indices sit underneath a growing pile of spot Bitcoin and Ether ETF benchmarks, the data feeds power risk desks at half the tier-one banks, and the exchange itself is where prop shops and asset managers route block flow because the hybrid order book plus AMM design gives them tighter spreads on size than anywhere else. That's the destination. It's plausible. It's also where the current $5.6B market cap stops making obvious sense and starts requiring real proof.
