PANews reported on March 6 that according to Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter revealed that Swedish payment giant Klarna Bank AB plans to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States to raise at least $1 billion and may publicly submit relevant documents as early as next week. The company plans to determine the offering price for the New York Stock Exchange listing in early April, and Klarna's target valuation exceeds $15 billion. Relevant discussions are still ongoing, and the details of the listing plan, including the timing, are still subject to change. According to a statement in November last year, Klarna has secretly submitted an application for an initial public offering to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Klarna Bank CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski said last month that the company was exploring entering the cryptocurrency market. He posted on social media platform X on February 8, "I give up," and said Klarna "will embrace cryptocurrencies."
