WeHub, the holding company of the largest shareholder of Busan Digital Asset Exchange, will acquire the cryptocurrency exchange Flybit

According to Digital Asset, WeHub, the holding company of the largest shareholder of Busan Digital Asset Exchange in South Korea, will expand its business into virtual assets by acquiring the cryptocurrency exchange Flybit. WeHub and its largest shareholder, JM Coffee Group Chairman Yang Jae-seok, have agreed to this acquisition deal, the amount of which has not been disclosed. After the acquisition is completed, WeHub will hold a 40% stake in Flybit, Yang Jae-seok will hold 25%, and Flybit CEO Kim Seok-jin will retain 15%.

In addition, Flybit's market share has declined due to its failure to obtain a real-name account in Korean won. WeHub is interested in its VASP qualification and stable AML infrastructure, as Flybit was rated as an "excellent" operator in the financial intelligence department's system assessment. After the acquisition, both parties plan to combine Flybit's cryptocurrency trading infrastructure with the physical asset trading capabilities of Busan Digital Asset Exchange to expand into stablecoin and other businesses.
