Thailand’s Bitkub crypto exchange mulls Hong Kong IPO: Bloomberg

Bitkub, Thailand's largest crypto exchange, is mulling a potential initial public offering in Hong Kong, according to a Bloomberg report citing sources familiar with the matter.

One of the sources reportedly said that Bitkub may launch the Hong Kong IPO as early as next year, with a target of raising $200 million. Details remain subject to change, the report added.

The company had considered going public in its home country, but appears to have shelved that plan given the significant underperformance of Thailand's stock market. The SET Index, which tracks the performance of all common stocks listed on the Thai stock exchange, is down 24.9% year-to-date, according to Google Finance data.

In February 2024, Bitkub CEO Jirayut Srupsrisopa told shareholders in a letter that the company is exploring a potential IPO in Hong Kong to boost its global visibility.

"We are committed to expanding our reach beyond Thailand, venturing into new markets with our innovative solutions," Jirayut had said in the letter. 

Meanwhile, Hong Kong has been putting efforts to expand the region's presence as a global crypto hub. Hong Kong was one of the first markets to debut its own spot crypto exchange-traded funds after the success in the U.S., and even moved ahead of the U.S. in launching spot Solana ETFs.

Hong Kong's financial authorities have laid out a crypto licensing regime and sandbox frameworks for stablecoins and tokenized bank deposits over recent years, and announced earlier this month that it will enable local crypto trading platforms to share a global order book with overseas trading platforms.

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
