JAKARTA - Bithumb, one of the largest crypto exchanges in South Korea, is preparing to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) in 2025. This crypto exchange has ambitions to increase its market share and compete with its domestic rivals, Upbit.
This was revealed by South Korean business media, Edaily, who reported that Bithumb plans to go public in the second half of 2025. The crypto exchange has appointed Samsung Securities, its subsidiary of the Samsung Group, as its IPO underwriter. However, Bithumb has not officially announced its IPO plans.
According to Edaily, the main reason Bithumb wants to go public is not to get funds, but to increase public reputation and trust in crypto exchanges.
