DirectlyListed: This month, BillionToOne, Inc. achieved a successful direct listing on NASDAQ Global Select Market (November 6, 2025), marking a significant step in the evolution of capital markets.
Unlike traditional IPOs, a direct listing allows companies to provide unrestricted liquidity to existing shareholders without lock-up periods or underwriter allocations. BillionToOne’s model demonstrates how innovative companies can leverage this path to the public markets while maintaining control and minimizing dilution.

Capital Markets Momentum: Why Now is the Time for Direct Listing:
The current capital market environment is showing renewed strength and investor confidence. With liquidity levels high, valuations stabilizing, and institutional appetite returning, companies have a unique window to access the public markets on favorable terms.
One of the most compelling strategies in this climate is the Direct Listing. Unlike a traditional IPO, a direct listing allows companies to enter the market without issuing new shares or relying on underwriters to set the price. Instead, the market itself determines valuation—creating a transparent, demand-driven entry point. hashtag hashtag hashtag hashtag

Well done to Sound Point Meridian Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPMA) on its successful direct listing on NASDAQ—executed without an underwriter or listing advisor.
This milestone highlights the power of strategic capital markets planning and the value of deep industry experience. By leveraging seasoned consulting rooted in decades of market insight—dating back to the early 1990s—the company navigated the complexities of a direct listing as a 1934 Act reporting issuer with precision and confidence.
Sound Point’s listing stands as a testament to what can be achieved through disciplined preparation, regulatory compliance, and investor-grade documentation—without relying on traditional intermediaries.
A bold move. A clean ex*****on. A model for modern listings.
