  • By April, Ebang plans to end the beta phase and fully launch its exchange.
  • Shares of the company jumped after the announcement, gaining more than 55% since Thursday. Ebang shares were trading above $11 at last check.

  • In December 2020, Ebang set the end of Q1 2021 as the target date to launch the exchange.
