TechFlow, on September 2, according to CoinDesk, Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck has acquired Aplo, a French licensed digital asset broker. Aplo currently holds a license issued by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) and is applying for a full Crypto Asset Service Provider license under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
According to the announcement, the acquisition will be conducted via a share exchange, with all issued shares of Aplo exchanged for newly issued ordinary shares of Coincheck Group. The transaction is expected to complete in October 2025. This acquisition will support Coincheck’s expansion into the European market. Notably, Coincheck Group N.V., headquartered in the Netherlands, was listed on Nasdaq last year through a merger with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Thunder Bridge Capital Partners IV.
