Chime’s Nasdaq Debut: A 37% Leap in the Fintech Arena

Chime set to debut on Nasdaq

On June 12, 2025, Chime had a groundbreaking debut on Nasdaq, where its shares surged by an impressive 37%. Initially priced above the expected range at $27, the shares closed the day at $37.11, setting a new market cap of $13.5 billion. From a valuation of $25 billion in its last venture round, this IPO marks a recalibration for Chime amidst evolving market dynamics.

The offering raised roughly $700 million, with an additional $165 million from existing shareholders. Despite the lower valuation, CEO Chris Britt highlights Chime’s commitment to serving Americans earning $100,000 or less, often overlooked by traditional banks. “We help our members avoid fees, access liquidity, and build savings,” Britt stated confidently.

Chime’s strong revenue momentum, with $518.7 million reported last quarter and a revenue increase by 32% year-over-year, underscores its growth potential. The company also achieved $25 million in adjusted profitability, improving its profit margin by 40 points over the past two years.

Chime now stands among fintech giants like eToro and Circle, rekindling investor interest in fintech IPOs. The future looks promising as other players like Klarna and Bullish eye public offerings.
