Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has always been vocal about weighing in on financial markets, whether it’s Silicon Valley, Wall Street, or the crypto space. He’s long been known for spotting shifts in business before they hit the mainstream. Cuban, who made his fortune during the dot-com boom and owns the Dallas Mavericks, has been both a supporter and skeptic of digital assets.  He’s invested in projects like Polygon, OpenSea, and Aave, and even allowed Mavericks fans to purchase tickets using Dogecoin.  This week, he turned his sights on token-forward IPOs, a newer frontier in crypto-finance.  DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JULY 10: Mark Cuban speaks onstage during Global Citizen NOW at Hudson’s Detroit on July 10, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan.

Despite Bullish’s innovation in structuring its IPO settlement entirely in stablecoins — including USDC, EURC, and PayPal USD — investors dumped the stock days after the deal closed. This pattern looks similar to how meme coins like Shiba Inu or Dogecoin behave, rising on hype and social momentum rather than fundamentals. Crypto stock tanks after IPO hype fades Just six days after its debut, Bullish shares fell to $59.51, a 6% drop from its IPO price of $61.56. Intraday, it dipped as low as $57.92 before recovering slightly. Other crypto-related names weren’t spared. Coinbase and eToro fell over 5%, Galaxy Digital tumbled 10%, and even well-known names like Circle and Robinhood saw red. Meanwhile, Bitcoin dropped 2.4% to $113,511, and Ethereum shed over 5%. Cuban’s perspective on IPOs also comes informed by his history with meme coins. He was one of the first high-profile figures to embrace Dogecoin, and in 2021 he even allowed fans to use DOGE to buy Mavericks tickets and merchandise. At the same time, he has cautioned investors against chasing speculative assets, having once lost money himself in a DeFi project tied to an obscure token. Mark Cuban’s complex relationship with crypto In 2021, he famously lost money in a DeFi project called Titan that collapsed in hours. He called for more regulation after the loss, stating that “there should be some level of regulation to define what a stablecoin is and what collateralization is acceptable.” Yet that didn’t stop him from remaining active in crypto. He’s since invested in layer-2 protocols, decentralized exchanges, and blockchain games — and continues to publicly support the long-term vision of decentralized finance.
