The merger would finalize by the end of 2021 post regulatory approvals and Far Peak stockholder’s approval. It is expected to launch its regulated exchange by the end of this year that would offer “deep, predictable liquidity with technology that enables retail and institutional investors to generate a yield from their digital assets,”
