The exchange, which boasts assets exceeding 400 billion won (approximately $300 million), aims to rebuild public trust by subjecting its governance processes and management to external verification.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative follows recent challenges involving Bithumb's leadership. In January, former Chairman Lee Jung-hoon was acquitted of a $70 million fraud case. The exchange has also <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/south-korea-to-screen-major-shareholders-of-crypto-exchanges-over-eligibility-concerns\/\">faced scrutiny<\/a> concerning a cryptocurrency scandal involving a Korean lawmaker.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, its majority shareholder, Kang Jong-hyun, was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/cryptoslate-wrapped-daily-kraken-closes-abu-dhabi-office-bithumb-owner-arrested\/\">arrested<\/a> for allegedly embezzling roughly $50 million earlier in the year.<\/p>\n<p>Bithumb Holdings, the parent company, has revamped its leadership structure in anticipation of the IPO. Former Chairman Jung-hoon has been reinstated as a registered director, and Jaewon Lee has taken over as the new CEO of Bithumb Holdings, expected to spearhead the upcoming IPO.<\/p>\n<p>This leadership reshuffle indicates Bithumb's commitment to rebuilding public confidence and underscores the company's renewed emphasis on ethical management practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb is eyeing a listing on the Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (KOSDAQ) via an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 2025 as part of its expansion strategy, according to a local media report.
