Full-Cycle Advisory and Security Support for Crypto Companies Preparing for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the U.S.
Crypto companies pursuing a US listing face the world’s most rigorous regulatory, governance, and investor scrutiny. Most traditional investment banks and advisors simply do not understand the nuances of blockchain business models, token economics, on-chain treasury management, or digital-asset custody gaps that routinely derail listings or force painful last-minute restructurings.At Hacken, we are different. Unlike traditional advisors, we combine decades of traditional finance experience with genuine crypto-native expertise
Why Hacken?
Our senior team, advisors and partners have taken multiple companies public in the US, sat on public-company boards, and built direct, long-standing relationships with the top-tier US investment banks, institutional investors, and bulge-bracket underwriters that dominate IPOs. We speak their language and translate yours into terms US public markets understand.
The Hacken US IPO Ready Package is the only service for crypto companies that provides true end-to-end partnership: from initial readiness assessment all the way through listing and into ongoing post-IPO life as a US public company.
What Full-Cycle Support Actually Means
Hacken Advisory will guide companies through the full pre-IPO process, including:
Pre-IPO Phase (typically 5-12 months)
1. Comprehensive Diagnostic & Remediation
Deep review of corporate structure, financials, token economics, governance, cybersecurity, and investor narrative. We identify and fix issues early before investors, banks or the SEC do.
2. Warm Introductions to Tier-1 Investment Banks & Institutional Investors
Leveraging our established relationships, we open doors that most crypto companies cannot access on their own. We stay involved in banker selection, negotiations, and assist with bridge financing if needed.
3. Coordinated Legal, Audit & Restructuring Workstreams
We are the single point of coordination with top US securities counsel and auditors. No duplicated work, no surprise bills, no cross-border chaos.
4. Investor Storytelling & Roadshow Execution
We craft and pressure-test the equity story that resonates with traditional institutional investors. Full pitch deck overhaul, rehearsal sessions, Q&A preparation, and live in person roadshow support.
5. Independent Directors & Committee Build-Out
We source and place credible, US-market-experienced independent directors and committee chairs (audit, compensation, etc.) when required.
Listing & Immediate Post-Listing Phase
- Management of the entire IPO filing
- SEC comment letter process
- exchange listing requirements, and closing mechanics
- Coordination of lock-up agreements, insider selling plans, and initial quiet period compliance
Ongoing Post-IPO Advisory
Hacken remains your partner for the long term:
- Quarterly earnings preparation and scripting
- Ongoing investor relations strategy and institutional investor outreach
- Continuous governance, compliance, and cybersecurity advisory
- Support for follow-on offerings, M&A, or other capital markets activity
- 10b5-1 plans, insider compliance, and Reg FD training
We are not consultants who hand you a report and walk away. We are battle-tested operators and advisors who stay in the trenches with you from the very first call through your company’s life as a publicly traded entity.
If you are a crypto or blockchain company seriously evaluating a US IPO, let’s talk. Very few firms in the world can credibly deliver this level of integrated, institutional-grade support and even fewer have both the TradFi relationships and the crypto depth to get you across the finish line and keep you successful afterward.
Security and Technical Assurance from Hacken
Alongside the advisory work, Hacken provides the full suite of cybersecurity assurance and technical due diligence needed to pass institutional and regulatory examinations.
Cloud and Network Penetration Testing
Our team conducts a detailed assessment of the company’s infrastructure using proven methodologies. Cloud and Network Penetration Testing demonstrates operational resilience and strengthens the risk sections of offering documents.
Proof of Reserves Audits
For exchanges, custodians, and asset managers, we conduct Proof of Reserves audits to verify solvency and asset backing. This is increasingly important for institutional investors and underwriters who require independent confirmation of reserve integrity.
CCSS Certification
We deliver Cryptocurrency Security Standard audits to validate key management, access control, and operational practices. This is a recognised benchmark for digital asset firms seeking to demonstrate robust custodial security.
GENIUS ACT Compliance for Stablecoin Issuers
For stablecoin issuers entering regulated markets, we support compliance with the GENIUS ACT framework. This allows issuers to demonstrate credible transparency and operational soundness in line with proposed US requirements.
Why We Created the US IPO Ready Package
Many crypto companies delay or fail in their IPO ambitions because they underestimate the combined complexity of corporate structuring, regulatory readiness, story development, and cybersecurity due diligence. By coordinating advisory and technical security under one roof, Hacken removes this friction.
Our aim is to give founders a clear pathway from private company to US-listed organisation with fewer intermediaries, fewer delays, and stronger execution across all domains.

Hacken supports the next generation of digital asset companies preparing to enter US public markets. If your organisation is evaluating a US listing or planning an institutional fundraising round that requires public-market readiness, our team can guide you through every stage — from initial assessment to life as a publicly traded company.
