Bitkub, founded in 2018, previously considered an IPO in Thailand, but the dour performance of the domestic stock market played spoilsport. Thailand's stock market, one of the worst performers globally this year, has seen an average of over 12% drop in listings in 2025, with the index itself falling 10%.
Bitkub is Thailand's largest cryptocurrency exchange with a total 24-hour trading volume of $60.75 million, according to data from Coingecko.
Hong Kong is actively looking to establish itself as the regional digital asset hub, supported by a clear regulatory roadmap from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).
