South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb outlines a multi-year plan aimed at an initial public offering (IPO) in 2028. Multiple reports say the company intends to request a preliminary listing review in 2027 and to have its application reviewed by relevant local authorities at that time. The roadmap also includes organizational and reporting changes. One outlet reports that Bithumb switches to international accounting standards during 2024, a step described as part of the company’s IPO preparation. Another source links the overhaul effort to compliance work that follows a February crediting error. That reporting characterizes the process as an internal controls refurbishment, suggesting Bithumb is strengthening its systems ahead of the listing process. Across the coverage, the key timing elements are consistent: Bithumb’s plan centers on filing for preliminary listing review in 2027 and pursuing an IPO in 2028. The accounts differ mainly on emphasis, citing accounting standard changes and internal controls improvements as part of the preparation, but they align on the overall timeline.
