<p>Hong Kong-based blockchain firm Diginex is set to get listed in the U.S. via a reverse merger deal, according to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-10/crypto-firm-diginex-is-said-to-reach-deal-to-go-public-in-u-s">report</a> on Wednesday.</p> <p>Diginex has struck the deal with special purpose acquisition company 8i Enterprises Acquisition Corp., the report said, citing “people familiar with the matter,” and will be listed on Nasdaq.</p> <p>The deal is likely to value Diginex at about $276 million including debt, and its shareholders will receive 20 million ordinary shares of 8i valued at $10 per share, per the report.</p> <p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), however, will reportedly still need to approve Diginex’s proxy filing.<br /> <br /> Earlier this year, cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb was also looking to go public in the U.S. through a reverse merger deal, when it <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/tiny/crypto-exchange-announces-intention-to-publicly-list-in-the-us-with-a-reverse-merger/">signed</a> a letter of intent with Blockchain Industries. Mike Novogratz' Galaxy Digital also took a reverse merger route to get listed on Canada's TSX Venture Exchange.</p>
