Data: Low

Globe presents a risky equity opportunity with a low expected upside.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (10%)+200%

Globe successfully leverages its low-latency platform and innovative Bitcoin VIX product to capture a significant niche in the crypto derivatives market, attracting institutional traders and growing its daily trading volume substantially. This drives revenue to over $5M annually and justifies a $225M valuation, allowing common shareholders to realize $204M after investor preferences.

Base (45%)+50%

Globe maintains its current market position, growing in line with the overall cryptocurrency derivatives market but struggling to gain significant share against dominant incumbents. Revenue modestly increases to around $2M annually, leading to a $112.5M valuation at exit, with common shareholders receiving $91.5M after preferences.

Bear (45%)-80%

Intense competition from major exchanges like Binance and Bybit, coupled with potential regulatory headwinds or a prolonged crypto bear market, severely impacts Globe's trading volumes and revenue. This leads to a down round or an exit below $21M, wiping out most common stock value due to the $21M in liquidation preferences.

Est. time to liquidity~4.0 years

Preference Stack Risk

high

Investors hold $21M in liquidation preferences. In an exit at the assumed current valuation of $75M, common shareholders would receive $54M. If the exit is below $21M, common shareholders would receive nothing.

Dilution Risk

high

Given the company's stage and the competitive landscape, it is highly likely more funding rounds will be needed, leading to further dilution for existing equity holders.

Secondary Liquidity

none

There is no indication of active secondary markets or tender offers for Globe's equity.
