Figma's successful IPO, valued at nearly $68 billion, is being celebrated by former FTC chair Lina Khan as a victory against Big Tech mergers. Khan's efforts to block major tech acquisitions, including Adobe's proposed purchase of Figma, are seen as contributing to Figma's independent growth. While some credit Figma's success solely to its own innovation, others acknowledge the potential benefits of the now-defunct Adobe merger. The IPO highlights the ongoing debate surrounding antitrust enforcement and the impact on tech innovation.
