TechFlow news, according to foreign media reports, Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency and blockchain services company Diginex will go public on Nasdaq in September through a reverse merger.
The company's CEO Richard Byworth said Thursday that the listing will occur via a reverse merger with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) 8i Enterprises Acquisition Corp. Following the transaction, 8i will be renamed Diginex, and its stock ticker "JFK" will also change.
Diginex was originally scheduled to list in March, but the launch was delayed due to market downturn caused by the pandemic. Byworth said it has now received listing approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and shareholders will vote on the matter on September 15.
On Thursday, the company also launched its Equos.io exchange, which currently offers spot cryptocurrency trading and will roll out its first derivatives product by mid-August.
