Huobi Korea is determined to draw a line with Huobi Global and completely get rid of the "bloodline" of Chinese exchanges

Amid the ups and downs of global cryptocurrencies, the dynamics of exchanges have always attracted the attention of investors. Recently, Huobi Korea announced that it would sever ties with Huobi Global, a move that has attracted widespread attention in the industry. As a platform that was once closely connected with Chinese exchanges, Huobi Korea's decision is not only to get rid of the "bloodline" of Chinese exchanges, but also a reflection of its strategic adjustment. This article will explore the decision-making background, market reaction and future prospects of Huobi Korea in depth.

In the past few years, Huobi, as one of the earliest cryptocurrency exchanges in China, has had an influence that cannot be underestimated. However, as the Chinese government gradually tightened its supervision of the cryptocurrency industry, Huobi had to find a way out. In 2021, the People's Bank of China explicitly banned cryptocurrency trading, a policy that put many exchanges under survival pressure. As a branch of Huobi, Huobi Korea was naturally affected. In order to survive in the fierce market competition, Huobi Korea decided to draw a line with its parent company and seek independent development.

Behind this decision, the first is the change in the market environment. In recent years, the global cryptocurrency market has gradually developed in the direction of decentralization and compliance. Many exchanges have begun to pay attention to compliance operations to ensure that they can operate normally under the legal framework of various countries. Huobi Korea realized that continuing to rely on China's brand and operating model will make it lose competitiveness in the international market. Therefore, taking the initiative to sever ties with Huobi Global has become an important step in its strategic transformation.

Secondly, Huobi Korea's move is also to enhance its own brand image. In recent years, as more and more exchanges have launched compliant products, users' trust in exchanges has gradually increased. Huobi Korea hopes to get rid of the influence of Huobi Global and reshape its own brand image to attract more international users. After all, in the cryptocurrency industry, the influence of the brand is often directly related to the choice of users. Through this decision, Huobi Korea tried to convey its independent and compliant development concept to the market.

Of course, Huobi Korea's decision is not without risks. After severing ties with Huobi Global, Huobi Korea needs to rebuild its own technology platform and user ecology, which will cost a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. In addition, without the support of Huobi Global, Huobi Korea may face greater challenges in technology and market promotion. How to improve its competitiveness in a short period of time will be a major issue that Huobi Korea must face.

The market reaction is also worth paying attention to. After Huobi Korea announced that it would sever its relationship with Huobi Global, different voices appeared in the market. On the one hand, some investors supported Huobi Korea's decision and believed that this move would help the long-term development of the platform. On the other hand, some investors expressed concerns that Huobi Korea might lose some users and market share as a result. In any case, the market's attention to Huobi Korea has increased significantly, and the related trading volume and user registration volume have increased, which to a certain extent reflects investors' expectations for its future development.

Against this background, the future development direction of Huobi Korea has also become the focus of market attention. In order to achieve independent development, Huobi Korea needs to make arrangements in many aspects. First, technological innovation is the key to improving competitiveness. Huobi Korea must increase its investment in the research and development of blockchain technology to create a safer and more efficient trading platform. At the same time, Huobi Korea also needs to pay attention to user experience and enhance user stickiness by optimizing interface design and increasing transaction speed.

Secondly, Huobi Korea also needs to strengthen its connection with the international market. As the globalization trend of the cryptocurrency market becomes increasingly obvious, Huobi Korea needs to actively participate in international cooperation and expand overseas markets. By establishing cooperative relationships with exchanges in other countries and regions, Huobi Korea can use external resources to enhance its market competitiveness. At the same time, Huobi Korea can also enhance the attractiveness of the platform by introducing more compliant products.

In addition, Huobi Korea also needs to pay attention to community building. The core of cryptocurrency lies in decentralization, and the community is the concrete embodiment of this concept. Huobi Korea can enhance users' sense of belonging and participation by establishing a user community and encouraging users to participate in the governance and development of the platform. This will not only help to increase user activity, but also provide a continuous source of power for the long-term development of the platform.

After the separation from Huobi Global, Huobi Korea's future is full of uncertainty. However, this decision also provides it with an opportunity to re-examine its own development strategy. By breaking free from the constraints of the past, Huobi Korea is expected to be rejuvenated in the future market competition. As the cryptocurrency industry continues to develop, every step of Huobi Korea will be closely watched.

In this era full of opportunities and challenges, Huobi Korea's transformation path may become a reference for other exchanges. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous changes in the market, only those companies that are brave enough to innovate and change can remain invincible in the competition. Huobi Korea's future journey, like the decentralized concept it pursues, is full of infinite possibilities.

According to 120BTc.com, Huobi Global's largest shareholder (founder Li Lin) transferred all of its shares to the merger and acquisition fund under Hong Kong's About Capital in October last year, which became the largest shareholder and actual controller of Huobi Global. After being acquired and renamed, there have been frequent reports that the exchange has fallen into operational difficulties. This evening (9), there were reports that Huobi Korea wanted to "disassociate" with Huobi Global.

According to local Korean media reports, industry insiders said that Huobi Korea has begun preparing to acquire the shares held by Huobi Global and change its name. The company plans to hold internal and external employee meetings and make a final decision after collecting opinions.

Huobi Global's suspected crisis is the trigger for Huobi Korea to distance itself from it

Currently, more than half of Huobi Korea's shares are still held by founder Li Lin, and the remaining shares are mainly held by Huobi Korea CEO Jo Guk-
Bong and Korea Land Trust. Jo, who owns a cryptocurrency mining company, hopes to acquire Li Lin's current shares to expand his stake to 72%.

If the equity acquisition goes smoothly, Huobi Korea will be able to sever its asset ties with Huobi Global. The plan was interpreted by industry insiders as "strengthening its position as a local Korean company through name change and equity acquisition" in the report.

In addition, the report also mentioned that Huobi Global has caused trouble to Huobi Korea's business operations many times. Huobi Korea suspended services for 5 months due to the change of Huobi Global's location after the implementation of the Special Financial Transactions Act in South Korea.

In addition, Huobi Global's future is unclear recently, so Huobi Korea hopes to break the shackles of Huobi Global and focus on the local Korean market. Industry insiders said: "Huobi Korea suffers from foreign origins, especially when it presents itself as a "Chinese exchange." "

In general, the severance of Huobi Korea's relationship with Huobi Global is a complex and far-reaching decision, which not only reflects the changes in the market environment, but also reflects Huobi Korea's deep thinking on its own development. In the future, how Huobi Korea will steadily move forward on the road of independent development is worthy of our continued attention. For investors, understanding the deep meaning behind this change will help them make more informed decisions in the ever-changing cryptocurrency market.
