Japanese financial services provider Monex Group announced 100% share acquisition of Coincheck. The deal is planned for April 16.
Coincheck, the cryptocurrency exchange that suffered the largest theft earlier this year, has accepted a takeover bid by Japanese online brokerage Monex Group Inc.
Coincheck which was in the middle of the $530 million scandal in the beginning of this year has a chance to restore its positions as one of the biggest Japanese brokerages plans to buy the cryptocurrency exchange.
Coincheck is finally compensating all the victims of the hack as promised earlier. The exchange is also allowing customers withdraw their crypto holdings.

Japan’s financial watchdog ‘FSA’ has raided Coincheck in order to “ensure the preservation of clients’ assets.”
Coincheck has been asked to submit a report by Feb 13 stating the reasons of security loopholes and work further on restoring the issues.
