Binance wird mit der Akquisition von Gopax wieder in den südkoreanischen Markt eintreten
- Binance hat kürzlich die Due Diligence der Übernahme von Gopax, einer südkoreanischen Krypto-Börse, abgeschlossen.
- Gopax ist zusammen mit Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone und Korbit Teil der Digital Asset eXchange Alliance (DAXA).
- The exchange is “in the process of final discussions on the value of the stake,” according to a source.
- “Binance will buy a stake (41.2% stake) from CEO Lee Jun-haeng, the largest shareholder of Gopax,” a report said.
As centralized crypto exchanges continue to witness drying trading volumes, many have decided to lay back on the expansion part and build on what they have. However, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, Binance, has taken advantage of the market conditions worsened by the collapse of multiple crypto firms, and expanded into other global markets. Interestingly, to expand into South Korea, the exchange has reportedly acquired a local exchange.
Laut a Bericht from a local media outlet, Binance is reportedly close to completing the acquisition of Gopax, a South Korean crypto exchange that is part of the Digital Asset eXchange Alliance (DAXA) along with Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, and Korbit. Interestingly, this means that the world’s biggest exchange will now also be linked to the DAXA following the acquisition of Gopax.
DAXA ist das erste gemeinsame Beratungsgremium Südkoreas, das gegründet wurde, nachdem sich viele Krypto-Investoren über die mangelnde Aufsicht und Regulierungsbeteiligung in der Kryptoindustrie in Südkorea beschwert hatten. Darüber hinaus ist es wichtig zu beachten, dass Binance die Due Diligence der Übernahme von Gopax abgeschlossen hat und die offizielle Ankündigung bald folgen könnte.
Citing a source familiar with the matter, the report from a local media outlet confirmed that Binance had planned to break the news in Christmas 2022 but did not do so because the exchange is “in the process of final discussions on the value of the stake.” The report also stated that “Binance will buy a stake (41.2% stake) from CEO Lee Jun-haeng, the largest shareholder of Gopax, but will maintain this representative system for the time being for stable management.”
Binance has been increasingly trying to enter global markets but hasn’t been able to do so because of extreme regulatory pressure and the presence of strict anti-money laundering laws in some regions, including South Korea. However, the leading exchange under the leadership of Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ in the crypto space, remains undeterred and continues on its path of absolute dominance.
Kürzlich bestätigte Binance dies Wiedereintritt in den japanischen Markt nach vier Jahren with the acquisition of Sakura Exchange BitCoin, a Japanese crypto exchange service provider, following which it can now enter Japan “as a Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA) regulated entity.” As per an announcement, the exchange “aims to support a responsible global environment for cryptocurrencies” by offering Japanese-regulated services through SEBC.
On the other hand, the leading exchange also entered the Indonesian market with the acquisition of local crypto exchange Tokocrypto. Binance’s portfolio company CEO, Yudhono Rawis, will serve as interim CEO for the Indonesian exchange.
Tokocrypto’s co-founder and CEO, Pang Xue Kai, will soon resign from his position. Surprisingly, around 58% of the employees of Tokocrypto were fired due to market conditions.
