Disney Corporation may become the owner of Bitstamp and Korbit

Leading European crypto-exchange Bitstamp and South Korean Korbit can become the property of The Walt Disney Company, one of the largest conglomerates of the entertainment industry. It is reported by Bitcoinist, with reference to the Korea Herald.

Currently, Disney is one of the main contenders for a 98.6% share of the largest South Korean game maker Nexon. The latter is one of the key assets of the company NXC, which also owns the exchanges Bitstamp and Korbit.

Thus, if a $ 13.2 billion deal takes place, Disney will become the owner of a European exchange with a long history, which, according to some data, the NXC investment division acquired a year ago for $ 350 million . At the same time, Nexon owns 65.19% of the share in the oldest South Korean crypto-exchange Korbit.

Note that Disney has long been interested in blockchain technology. So, back in 2016, the corporation introduced Dragonchain’s own hybrid blockchain, designed to improve the efficiency of business applications and make them safer.

Recall that this month Bitstamp received a license to provide services in the state of New York.
