US-based blockchain payment network Roxe is set to go public following a business merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).

Blank check company Goldenstone Acquisition signed a definitive business combination agreement with the firm to take it public for a combined enterprise value of about $3.6bn.

Following the merger, Roxe will become a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Roxe shareholders are expected to roll 100% of their equity into the combined entity.

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of next year. It is subject to approval by Goldenstone and Roxe stockholders and other regulatory approvals.

Roxe chief business officer Josh Li said: “We are thrilled to be working with Goldenstone to bring Roxe onto NASDAQ, which we believe will accelerate our growth and that of the groundbreaking payments ecosystem that Roxe makes possible.
