Once Japan’s largest crypto exchange, Coincheck’s reputation was damaged in early 2018 when almost $534 million worth crypto assets were stolen from the exchange, making it the largest crypto heist to date. The struggling exchange was soon acquired by Monex and was relaunched to offer crypto trading with a revamped security and management. It also received the country’s regulatory go-ahead to offer its services.

Meanwhile, the exchange is also looking into entering the lucrative industry of initial exchange offering (IEO) and is currently studying the market.
