$350 Million: Leading Korean Exchange Bithumb to Sell Majority Stake to Blockchain Consortium

A Singapore-based blockchain-related consortium is reportedly set to acquire a 38% ownership stake in Bithumb, a leading Korean crypto exchange. Bithumb might also launch its own decentralized exchange (DEX) sometime this month, according to local news outlets. The Seoul-based exchange has been valued at $880 million by crypto market participants, however, the consortium has valued it significantly higher at $1.8 billion.
