 <p class="is-style-lead">Binance reportedly plans to reduce its stake in Korean crypto exchange Gopax within the next two months to address regulatory reporting issues.</p>
 <p>Crypto exchange Binance, the major shareholder of Korean crypto trading platform Gopax, is set to reduce its stake in the exchange within the next one to two months to address issues with reporting changes to virtual asset business operators (VASPs), Korean news outlet News1 Korea has learned.</p>
 <p>The move is expected to solve regulatory issues after Korean authorities delayed approval of Gopax’s VASP <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="change" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/change.html">change</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="report" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/report.html">report</a> submitted in March 2023. Binance’s intention to sell a portion of its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stake" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stake.html">stake</a> is seemingly aimed at resolving regulatory concerns. Despite the reduction, Binance could still retain an estimated 80% <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stake" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stake.html">stake</a>, according to local industry executives. As of the latest update, Binance has not released an official statement on the matter.</p>

 <p>Binance acquired a majority stake in Gopax in February 2023 as part of its re-entry into the Korean market, which it had left in 2021. The exact figures of the stake acquisition were not disclosed though.</p>
 <p>Binance’s involvement came after <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="report" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/report.html">report</a>s surfaced that Gopax’s parent company, Streami Inc., was among the top ten creditors of the insolvent <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> lender Genesis Global. Meanwhile, Digital Currency Group, the parent company of the U.S. <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> lender, was the second-largest shareholder in Gopax.</p>
 <p>In 2021, Binance shuttered its South Korean operations due to low usage and trading volume. However, it later expanded its presence in Asia by acquiring Sakura Exchange BitCoin in Japan.</p>
