"Working together with Thunder Bridge Capital Partners, Coincheck aims to expand its crypto asset business by gaining exposure to global investors, accessing the U.S. capital markets, and recruiting talent to realize its growth strategy," Coincheck majority owner Monex Group said in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.
Coincheck is among Japan's largest crypto exchange with a 27% market share, according to the SEC filing, and currently serves 1.75 million account holders and offers trading of 18 different coins.
