BullishBullish's acquisition of Equiniti receives competition clearances and Siris acquires non-core lines, streamlining the deal.

Bullish announced that an affiliate of Siris has exercised its option to acquire three non-core business lines of Equiniti: EQ Retirement Solutions, EQ Customer Resolutions and Lenvi. The parties expect to negotiate definitive documents for the carve-out in parallel with the closing of Bullish’s previously announced $4.2 billion purchase of Equiniti in January 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Bullish also said its planned acquisition of Equiniti has received necessary competition law clearances from the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany. The transaction will unite Equiniti, which serves nearly 3,000 blue-chip public companies and 20 million shareholders, with Bullish’s blockchain-native platform and CoinDesk’s media and data capabilities.
