South Korea’s second-largest crypto exchange plans an IPO in 2028 after a preliminary review next year, pending regulatory approval.
Bithumb announced plans to go public in 2028, with a preliminary listing review scheduled for 2027. The exchange is preparing by adopting K-IFRS accounting standards and restructuring its operations to meet regulatory requirements.
The timeline remains subject to market conditions and regulatory feedback. Bithumb ranks as South Korea’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, following Upbit. The move follows a broader trend of crypto firms seeking public listings amid evolving regulatory landscapes.
No immediate market reaction was reported, though the announcement signals growing institutional interest in digital asset platforms.
