Gopax team met with representatives of another crypto exchange and signed a contract to acquire a majority stake in the troubled crypto exchange. Therefore, the major shareholder of Gopax will possibly become a new acquirer. The details of the acquisition party are not revealed and Gopax expects to make an official announcement next week.

“I know that a new acquirer has recently completed a purchase and sale contract with me. The exact information on the acquirer is being thoroughly concealed as confidential even within Gopax, but I know that it will be officially announced next week.”

However, a Gopax official has denied an acquisition contract signed by another crypto exchange. He said, “This is not true, and there is nothing we can confirm about the acquisition.”
