Co-founder & Controlling Shareholder of Leading Crypto Exchange Huobi Global Leon Li Sells All Shareholding to Hong Kong About Capital Management 

13th October 2022 | Hong Kong

The co-founder & controlling shareholder of leading crypto exchange Huobi Global Leon Li has sold all his shareholding to Hong Kong asset management group About Capital Management.  In August 2022, Leon Li is reported to be looking to sell his shareholdings (60%) and valuing the company around $2 billion to $3 billion.  Announcement: “Upon completion of the transaction, the buyout vehicle of About Capital will control the majority stake in Huobi Global. The transaction only involves the change of controlling shareholder and has no impact on Huobi’s core operation and business management teams. According to About Capital, post transaction Huobi Global will embrace a series of new international brand promotion and business expansion initiatives, including a global strategic advisory board led by leading industry figures, the injection of sufficient capital in margin and risk provision fund, as well as measures to further enhance competitiveness. Upon successful implementation of the initiatives, Huobi Global will be well positioned to provide first-class trading and investment services to international investors.” Ted Chen, CEO of About Capital: “We are very pleased to complete the transaction. Huobi Global offers the best of breed virtual asset investment services to millions of international users. We believe the virtual asset industry is still in its early stage and there is tremendous upside for long term growth. We are confident that the holistic approach to rebuild Huobi Global as the premier international virtual asset exchange would solidify both the recognition and trust of Huobi’s international users.”

We believe the virtual asset industry is still in its early stage and there is tremendous upside for long term growth. We are confident that the holistic approach to rebuild Huobi Global as the premier international virtual asset exchange would solidify both the recognition and trust of Huobi’s international users.”

Leon Li, the founder of Huobi: ”This transaction marks a new chapter for Huobi Global. Over the past nine years, we have witnessed Huobi’s ascendence into one of the largest virtual asset exchanges in the world. Following Huobi’s exit from  the Chinese mainland market in 2021, we have accelerated our globalization push amidst a challenging market environment, which adds to the impetus for Huobi to seek a new shareholding structure with a global vision and international resources. We believe the successful acquisition by About Capital vehicle will contribute to Huobi’s global expansion in both aspects.”

The transaction also includes a series of important measures to ensure the smooth transition of daily operations, improved risk capital provision and stability of the core management team.
