South Korea's leading cryptocurrency exchange, Bithumb, is accelerating its plans for an initial public offering (IPO) as the crypto market experiences a resurgence. According to reports in Hanguk Kyungjae, Bithumb is ramping up efforts to expedite its proposed listing on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI).

随着加密货币市场的复苏，韩国领先的加密货币交易所 Bithumb 正在加速其首次公开募股 (IPO) 计划。据《Hanguk Kyungjae》报道，Bithumb 正在加大力度加快其在韩国综合股票价格指数 (KOSPI) 的上市计划。

To facilitate this move, Bithumb intends to separate its holdings operations into a distinct entity, tentatively named Bithumb Investment. A regulatory filing on March 22 outlined the details of this plan, with the new firm assuming control over Bithumb's holdings, investments, and real estate. The current entity, Bithumb Korea, will continue to manage the crypto trading platform.

为了促进这一举措，Bithumb 打算将其控股业务拆分为一个独立的实体，暂定名为 Bithumb Investment。 3 月 22 日的一份监管文件概述了该计划的细节，新公司将接管 Bithumb 的持股、投资和房地产。目前的实体 Bithumb 韩国将继续管理加密货币交易平台。

The proposed share division stands at a ratio of 6:4, subject to approval at a shareholder meeting scheduled for May 10. If approved, Bithumb Investment is set to commence operations on June 13. Shareholders are expected to receive new shares in proportion to their existing holdings.

拟议的股份分割比例为 6:4，需在定于 5 月 10 日举行的股东大会上批准。如果获得批准，Bithumb Investment 将于 6 月 13 日开始运营。股东预计将按照其持有的股份比例获得新股。现有持股。

Notably, the announcement steers clear of ongoing legal issues, including allegations of market manipulation linked to Bithumb's elusive owner. Instead, the focus remains on ensuring the IPO's success hinges on the exchange's core business.

值得注意的是，该公告回避了持续存在的法律问题，包括与 Bithumb 难以捉摸的所有者有关的市场操纵指控。相反，重点仍然是确保首次公开募股的成功取决于交易所的核心业务。

In recent months, Bithumb has witnessed significant growth in its activities, with strategies such as commission-free trading aimed at reclaiming market share from rivals like Upbit. South Korea's enthusiastic embrace of cryptocurrency, coupled with a limited number of platforms offering fiat-crypto trading, has contributed to heightened trading volumes.

近几个月来，Bithumb 的活动显着增长，采取了免佣金交易等策略，旨在从 Upbit 等竞争对手手中夺回市场份额。韩国对加密货币的热情拥抱，加上提供法币-加密货币交易的平台数量有限，导致交易量增加。

By spinning off its holdings operations, Bithumb aims to bolster the prospects of its IPO, emphasizing a streamlined focus on exchange operations. This move is anticipated to expedite the listing process, potentially advancing the previously targeted 2025 KOSPI debut.

通过剥离其控股业务，Bithumb 旨在增强其 IPO 的前景，强调简化对交易所业务的关注。预计此举将加快上市进程，有可能提前实现之前定于 2025 年 KOSPI 上市的目标。

In the South Korean crypto landscape, Bithumb's IPO bid positions it as a frontrunner, given the size constraints that impede Upbit's operator, Dunamu, from pursuing a similar path. While talk of a Dunamu listing on the New York Stock Exchange, inspired by Coinbase, has faded, another Upbit-affiliated entity, K Bank, is eyeing its own IPO bid. K Bank's partnership with Upbit has catalyzed substantial growth in its user base, paving the way for a potential listing on the KOSPI in the near future.

在韩国加密货币领域，Bithumb 的 IPO 竞标使其成为领跑者，因为规模限制阻碍了 Upbit 的运营商 Dunamu 走类似的道路。虽然受 Coinbase 启发，Dunamu 在纽约证券交易所上市的传闻已经逐渐淡去，但 Upbit 附属的另一家实体 K Bank 正在考虑自己的 IPO。 K Bank 与 Upbit 的合作促进了其用户群的大幅增长，为不久的将来可能在 KOSPI 上市铺平了道路。
