It is reported that Wemade, the developer of the game’Legend of Mir 2′, is considering the acquisition of’Bithumb’, a cryptocurrency trading site.
According to the industry on the 15th, Wemade is discussing conditions to acquire a stake owned by Lee Jung-hoon, chairman of Bithumb Holdings and Bithumb Korea. The sale price is said to be more than 500 billion won proposed by NXC (Nexon holding company) and lower than the 700 billion won hoped by Bithumb.
Related industries agree that Wemade’s acquisition of Bithumb is more likely than the foreign financial companies mentioned as the acquirer. This is because WeMade selected the blockchain as a’food for the future’ and has been engaged in various blockchain businesses.
Wemade established a subsidiary Wemade Tree in 2018 to promote new blockchain business, and is promoting various blockchain businesses such as blockchain games and a decentralized transaction site (WeMixdex). The company develops and services blockchain games such as’Bird Tornado for Wemix’ and’Jaeshin Electricity for Wemix’.
In addition, WeMade Tree has also issued a utility token (cryptocurrency)’WeMix Token’ (WeMix) that acts as a key currency in WeMade Tree’s blockchain ecosystem (WeMix Platform). Wemix is ​​listed on Bithumb last October and is trading.
An official in the cryptocurrency trading industry who requested anonymity said, “It remains to be seen whether it will lead to the actual acquisition, but it is not possible to say that the possibility of the acquisition is small as high-ranking Wemade officials are interested in the blockchain business.” I know it was correct that I had contact with him.
On this day, WeMade and Bithumb said, “There is no information that can be confirmed.”
Meanwhile, as the possibility of Wemade’s acquisition of Bithumb increased, the price of’WeMix’, a cryptocurrency issued by Wemade, soared more than 70%. Wemix traded for 1063 won, up 72.45% from the previous day at 6 pm on this day. Wemix soared to 1,164 won (high price) during the mid-day period.
