Bithumb再次尝试上市,试图夺回韩国市场第一王座

根据外媒报道,韩国四大交易所之一的 Bithumb 再次尝试 IPO,预计将于 2025 年下半年上市。早期 Bithumb 市场份额曾稳居第一,后被 Upbit 反超并拉大差距,目前位列第二。

作为韩国第二大的加密货币交易所的 Bithumb,为何如此热衷于上市?上市能给 Bithumb 带来什么改变,能否帮助其夺回韩国市场的第一王座?

据相关韩媒报道,Bithumb 本次上市是为了改善治理和管理透明度,同时接受对其内部控制系统的外部验证,来提高市场对其交易所业务的信任。Bithumb IPO 的原因大概率不是为了筹集资金。根据今年 Bithumb 半年报,该公司持有价值超过 4000 亿韩元的资产,对于企业经营来讲,并不需要外部融资。

随着 IPO 的推动,改善公司结构的工作已经开始。据一位熟悉 Bithumb 情况的官员透露,Bithumb 和 Bithumb Holdings 前董事会主席李政勋(音)已返回 Bithumb Holdings 担任注册董事。为了 IPO 的成功,前董事长李政勋预计将增加控制权并开始内部整合。

抛开本次上市计划,Bithumb 之前已经尝试过两次了,但均没有下文。让我们回顾一下之前的时间线。

  • 2019 年 1 月,Bithumb 计划通过美国上市公司 Blockchain Industries 进行反向合并在美上市,但由于当时的 Bithumb 的股权出售问题以及代币融资维权事件,导致上市计划泡汤;

  • 2020 年 6 月,加密货币交易所 Bithumb 运营商寻求上市,任命三星证券(Samsung Securities)承销 IPO,但此后再无上市计划相关后续传出。

Bithumb 不是没有想过代币融资,早在 2018 年底,Bithumb 就发行平台代币 BXA,但随即而来的几次大型加密货币被盗事件,以及 Bithumb 股权结构较为混乱,导致代币 BXA 几乎归零。Bithumb 也被 BXA 投资者提起诉讼。

除了 Bithumb 在近几年主动积极寻求上市机会,市场上也曾传出多家公司计划收购 Bithumb,比如火币、摩根士丹利和 FTX 等,但都无疾而终。

Bithumb 如此着急出手,背后既有来自行业变革的压力,也是自身谋求进一步发展的战略部署。

曾经 Bithumb 稳坐韩国加密货币交易所的龙头位置,同时也是全球第五大加密货币交易所,但近些年市场份额逐渐被 Upbit 蚕食,今年 2 月,Upbit 占据 80% 韩国交易市场份额,Bithumb 或许想通过本次上市计划成功后,夺回韩国加密市场的龙头地位。凭借 IPO 来逆天改命,可能并不现实,不过假设 Bithumb 上市成功,或将为交易所上市提供一个很好的案例。

From SpaceX's IPO to the Future of Crypto: Which Crypto Sectors Will Host the Trillion-Dollar Narrative?

From the SpaceX IPO, which targets a $750 billion raise at a $1.77 trillion valuation, we can extrapolate capital flow trends relevant to crypto. The focus shifts from speculative narratives to foundational infrastructure and real-world asset (RWA) integration. Key crypto sectors poised to benefit include: 1. **AI Infrastructure**: The narrative is moving from consumer-facing AI applications to underlying, scarce resources like compute power and decentralized GPU networks (e.g., TAO, RENDER, AKT, IO). These protocols are positioning as the essential "picks and shovels" providers for the AI economy. 2. **Real-World Assets (RWA)**: Beyond tokenized treasury bonds, RWA's future lies in on-chain equity and pre-IPO assets like SpaceX. This could democratize access to high-growth assets and reshape global capital flows, benefiting infrastructure projects like ONDO, LINK, and Plume that facilitate issuance, data, and liquidity. 3. **Core Financial Infrastructure**: Stablecoins, payment networks, and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) are critical for settling the future on-chain economy. Their role expands from internal trading tools to foundational layers for global finance, AI systems, and real-world asset networks, leading to potential value reassessment. In summary, the next cycle may prioritize long-term infrastructure value—AI compute, asset tokenization networks, and settlement layers—over short-lived application hype, mirroring the broader market's shift towards funding the foundational systems of the future.

Tech Stocks Plunge and Bitcoin Slumps, Retail Investors Face Ultimate Test Ahead of SpaceX IPO

Technology stocks suffered their biggest drop in months, and Bitcoin fell below the $60,000 mark, coinciding with the eve of SpaceX's massive IPO plans. The sell-off was triggered by strong U.S. jobs data, dashing hopes for Fed rate cuts and reviving fears of further hikes. High-valuation sectors like AI and semiconductors led the declines, with the Nasdaq plunging over 4%. Cryptocurrencies, sensitive to higher interest rates and a strong dollar, also tumbled sharply. This market stress test raises critical questions about the limits of retail investor capital and its next destination. SpaceX's upcoming IPO, which plans to allocate an unusually high 30% of shares to retail investors, now faces a more uncertain landscape. Analysts warn that to buy SpaceX,散户 may need to sell existing holdings, with Tesla seen as a potential source of funds. The market is saturated with speculative options—from crypto and meme stocks to zero-day options and AI-themed ETFs—all competing for the same pool of retail attention and capital. While SpaceX's listing could inject fresh excitement, it also enters a fiercely competitive environment where investor loyalty is fleeting. The ease of zero-commission trading and lower barriers to margin trading accelerate capital rotation between narratives, making it difficult for any single story, even a historic IPO like SpaceX's, to dominate for long.
