Binance has reported its acquisition of Gopax to the South Korean financial regulatory authorities

According to ChainCatcher news, Binance has reported its acquisition of Gopax to the South Korean financial regulatory authorities. Gopax completed the submission of a change report for virtual asset operators to the Financial Intelligence Unit yesterday afternoon. According to the Specific Financial Information Act, a change report must be submitted when there is a change in the representative or executive officer registration. Earlier this month, Gopax replaced its CEO, founder Lee Jun-haeng, with Binance's Asia Pacific CEO Leon Sing Foong. Additionally, Binance has appointed new internal directors.

The report states that even if the FIU accepts the report, it must consider whether Jeonbuk Bank will continue to provide real-name accounts to Gopax. If Jeonbuk Bank feels burdened by the change in shareholders and cancels the cooperation, Gopax's qualification as a virtual asset operator may be revoked. (Newsis)
