China-based Canaan, one of the biggest manufacturers of bitcoin mining chips and devices, is reportedly considering an initial public offering (IPO) in the U.S.
A Bloomberg report on Tuesday, citing people with “knowledge of the matter,” said that Canaan's IPO could be launched in the first half of this year in New York, although the process is still in its early stages.
The HKEX is apparently reluctant to approve Bitmain’s IPO. Last month, a person involved in the talks told CoinDesk that the exchange is “very hesitant to actually approve these bitcoin mining companies because the industry is so volatile.”
