History

Exodus was founded in 2015 by JP Richardson and Daniel Castagnoli.[2] In April 2021, the company raised $60 million in equity tokenization (digital tokens representing actual shares) offering, becoming the first company to do a crypto-only public equity offering.[4] The company is publicly traded on the NYSE American under the ticker EXOD and in June 2025 held a corporate treasury including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and SOL.[4][5]

It allows staking for select tokens (locking digital tokens including ETH, MATIC, SOL, APT, AXL, to earn rewards), NFT management, and fiat (government-backed currency) on‑off ramps via partnerships.[1] It supports altcoins including Aragon, EOS, and Golem.[6]

In March 2025, President Donald Trump invited Richardson to a summit of cryptocurrency executives at the White House, leading to increased attention for the company.[7][8][9][10]
