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 £11bn, is packing its virtual bags and shifting its main stock listing to the US after shareholders gave a thumbs up. This isn’t just a simple geography swap; it’s a sly tactic to 'attract more investors and boost its value,' according to insiders. Meanwhile, co-founder Kristo Käärmann's upgraded voting rights in this stellar chess game make it clear: it’s less about location, more about who calls the shots.
