Fans of Cryptyde and TYDE stock are going to have to get used to addressing the company differently as it undergoes a name and ticker change. Starting today, Cryptyde has officially changed its name to Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ:OCTO).
This move also comes with the new OCTO stock ticker. The change comes as the company focuses on its Forever 8 subsidiary, which is its most valuable asset.
According to Eightco, this will see the company continue to serve existing customers through its subsidiaries Forever 8 and Ferguson Containers. Forever 8 is a big money maker for the company with expected revenue of $60 million in 2023.
Brian McFadden, CEO of Eightco, said the following about the TYDE stock name change:
“After internal discussions and analysis, our leadership reached the consensus that the crypto industry’s regulatory risks are likely to continue escalating, and the company and our clients would be better served by focusing our full attention on supporting entrepreneurs through our existing subsidiaries Forever 8 and Ferguson Container.”
