Wise Ditches UK, Flies to US Like a Techy Migratory Bird
In a bold power move, the UK fintech giant Wise, with a market cap of about Ā£11bn, is packing its virtual bags and shifting its main stock listing to the US after shareholders gave a thumbs up. This isnāt just a simple geography swap; itās a sly tactic to 'attract more investors and boost its value,' according to insiders. Meanwhile, co-founder Kristo KƤƤrmann's upgraded voting rights in this stellar chess game make it clear: itās less about location, more about who calls the shots.
