Companies with highest sell-side demand so far this year

Private market liquidity continues to evolve as shareholders look for opportunities to transact in a still-constrained exit environment. One of the clearest signals of this dynamic is sell-side demand, the volume of shareholders actively placing asks on the Forge marketplace.

So far this year, a distinct group of companies has emerged, spanning crypto infrastructure, data platforms and fintech, where early investors and employees of these companies seek liquidity.

Below we highlight ten companies currently seeing some of the highest sell-side activity on Forge so far this year. Investors are potentially able to find active sellers in these companies on the Forge marketplace.

Kraken, a crypto exchange company

San Francisco-based Kraken is one of the most actively traded crypto companies in private markets, with strong shareholder interest in selling and currently representing the highest number of asks on Forge’s Marketplace. In November 2025, Kraken reached a $20 billion valuation following an $800 million funding round.

Kraken has positioned itself as a regulated, institutional-grade exchange for digital assets. Earlier this year, the company became the first crypto firm to secure a Federal Reserve “master account,” enabling it to accept client deposits and withdrawals directly. This development further strengthens its infrastructure as it looks toward a potential IPO in the near term.1

Founded in 2011, Kraken’s Forge Price™ is $32.49 as of April 10, 2026, implying a valuation of $10.57 billion. Notable investors include Citadel Securities, GE Ventures, Tribe Capital and Blockchain Capital.

Starbase, Texas-based SpaceX stands apart as one of the most valuable private companies globally and is among those seeing the highest sell-side demand on Forge’s Marketplace. With continued growth in Starlink and increasing signals of a potential IPO as early as this summer, shareholder interest in monetizing positions remains elevated.

Earlier this month, reports indicated that Elon Musk is planning a company roadshow ahead of a potential June IPO. The roadshow is expected to target retail investors, with indications that individual investors could receive a larger allocation than in any prior IPO. SpaceX is reportedly seeking to raise up to $75 billion at a valuation of as much as $1.75 trillion.2

Founded in 2002, SpaceX’s Forge Price™ is $603.28 as of April 10, 2026, implying a valuation of $1.43 trillion. Notable investors include Fidelity Investments, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures and Valor Equity Partners. SpaceX is listed as one of Forge’s Private Magnificent 7 companies.
