According to Bloomberg reports, Discord has secretly submitted an IPO application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, planning to go public on the U.S. stock market this year. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase will lead the underwriting of this transaction.

Discord's scale is indeed not to be underestimated. Data shows that as of December this year, the platform's monthly active users have surpassed 200 million. Remember the funding round in 2021? When Dragoneer Investment Group led the investment, Discord's valuation reached $15 billion. With this IPO push, the market's main concern is whether this user base can be converted into real revenue and profit.

Since its inception in San Francisco in 2015, Discord has evolved from a voice tool designed specifically for gamers into an ecosystem platform covering AI development, cryptocurrency communities, educational platforms, and more. Especially in the crypto community, Discord has become an essential venue for project teams to interact with users.

However, the details of this IPO are still confidential at the moment, and specific information such as the listing date and offering price cannot be confirmed for now. But it is foreseeable that if Discord successfully goes public, it will have a significant impact on the infrastructure development of the entire Web3 community.
