Bithumb launches spinoff as part of IPO bid as more banks join stablecoin union

Bithumb is preparing for an IPO on KOSDAQ in the first half of 2026 by establishing a spinoff, which aims to act as a holding company for future business investments and enhance operational agility.

The IPO momentum increased after the Supreme Court cleared former Chairman Lee Jung-hoon of fraud. However, investors remain cautious about Bithumb’s unclear governance structure, which could impact confidence.

In a related development, BNK Busan Bank has joined a stablecoin alliance to collaborate on creating KRW-pegged tokens and is conducting research on stablecoins, aligning with the growing trend in the digital asset space.
