South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb is preparing for its initial public offering (IPO) in the second half of 2025. According to a report by Edaily, Bithumb is planning to debut on KOSDAQ, the South Korean equivalent of the US Nasdaq. This would make Bithumb the first digital asset company to list on the public stock market in South Korea.

While Bithumb has not officially announced its intentions to hold an IPO, the recent selection of Samsung Securities as a potential underwriter clearly indicates a serious move towards going public.
