Crypto wealth manager Abra to list on Nasdaq in blockbuster $750 million merger

Abra, a digital asset wealth management platform, is set to become a publicly traded company through a merger with New Providence Acquisition Corp. III. The resulting entity, Abra Financial, will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker ABRX, with a pre-money valuation of $750 million. Existing stockholders, including Adams Street, Blockchain Capital, Pantera Capital, RRE Ventures, and SBI, will roll their shares into the new company. This deal marks Abra as the first publicly traded firm offering both SEC-registered investment advisory services and a full digital asset wealth management platform. Abra Financial will cater to institutional, high-net-worth, and RIA clients, providing services like custody, trading, yield, lending, and treasury management. The merger is expected to inject significant capital, up to $300 million, and Abra’s management aims to reach $10 billion in assets under management by 2027, focusing on regulated on-chain crypto wealth management.
