Binance Plans to Reduce Shareholding in South Korea's Gopax Crypto Exchange

Binance has announced plans to reduce its shareholding in Gopax, one of South Korea's largest crypto exchanges. Binance had acquired a majority stake in Gopax in February 2020 to re-enter the South Korean crypto market, but faced setbacks from regulators. Binance plans to sell its shares in Gopax to address issues related to changes in virtual asset business operators reporting requirements, and will convert the loan paid as GoFi repayment into equity and sell part of the stake to resolve the issue. The reduction in stake is a preemptive measure while seeking meaningful dialogue with financial authorities.
