First Digital Group is preparing to go public through a merger with CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, a New York listed SPAC, according to a Bloomberg report. The Hong Kong-based firm has signed a non-binding letter of intent as crypto companies look to capitalize on a more favorable US listing environment.

The FDUSD issuer has about $920 million in circulation, down from a peak of $4.4 billion in April 2024. First Digital also manages reserves for TrueUSD and is in a legal dispute with Techteryx over the handling of those assets.

CSLM raised $230 million in its Nasdaq IPO in August, and the merger is expected to include a private investment in public equity, with details still being finalized.
