Bithumb is considering a listing on the U.S. Nasdaq, the company told shareholders at a meeting on Monday, according to Korea Economic Daily.
In late 2023, the exchange was reportedly planning to go public by listing its shares on Kosdaq, the South Korean counterpart to Nasdaq. It had a target of the second half of 2025 after selecting Samsung Securities as its manager for the initial public offering.
“Regarding listing, all possibilities are open, not only domestically but also overseas,” a Bithumb official said according to the report.
Bithumb did not immediately respond to a CoinDesk request for comment.
