Bithumb is considering an IPO in 2025

The meeting held on Sept. 30 reviewed the consideration around an initial public offering in the second half of 2025. Also featured on the agenda was the company’s name &- with shareholders passing the resolution to change the name from Bithumb Korea to Bithumb. Initially, the exchange went by BTC Korea.com.

News of Bithumb’s plans to go public in the US comes as a few other crypto companies, including Circle, have recently revealed IPO plans. Crypto news provider Wu Blockchain also shared the potentially huge Bithumb move.

Bithumb first moved towards the push to become a publicly-traded company in 2020. But with crypto regulatory hurdles and accounting standards unfavourable, the company gave up the KOSDAQ IPO plans.

The exchange is still open to a domestic listing. However, it’s also eyeing an overseas offering given the example of Coinbase.

For its US IPO, the South Korea-based crypto exchange will work with Samsung Securities as the lead underwriter. Bithumb’s market share has hovered between 10% and 20%, and the potential for Nasdaq listing and presence could spark further growth.
