Kyivstar Group Ltd. has achieved a significant milestone by listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbols "KYIV" and "KYIVW". This marks the first and only pure-play Ukrainian investment opportunity on U.S. stock markets, a historic event for Ukraine and its economic recovery [1].The listing is the culmination of a business combination between Kyivstar Group Ltd. and Cohen Circle Acquisition Corp. I (NASDAQ: CCIR), which was completed on August 14, 2025. The combined company will begin trading on Nasdaq on August 15, 2025 [1].
Prior to the listing, Cohen Circle's shareholders approved the business combination at an extraordinary general meeting held on August 12, 2025. Only 25.4% of Cohen Circle's Class A ordinary shares held by its public shareholders exercised their redemption rights, resulting in USD 178 million in transaction proceeds [1].
VEON (NASDAQ: VEON), a global digital operator and parent company of Kyivstar, maintains an 89.6% stake in Kyivstar Group Ltd. post-combination. Kyivstar serves 23 million mobile and 1.1 million fixed connectivity customers in Ukraine. The company's portfolio includes digital healthcare platform Helsi, entertainment streaming service Kyivstar TV, and ride-hailing platform Uklon. Additionally, Kyivstar plans to launch Starlink Direct to Cell services commercially in Q4 2025 [1].
Kyivstar's listing on Nasdaq opens a new chapter for Ukrainian businesses, providing American investors with access to a high-growth market. The company's robust execution, strong growth, and commitment to rebuilding Ukraine's digital infrastructure make it an attractive investment opportunity [1].
