  • The news comes over a year after the Melbourne-based company first announced its intention to list in October 2014.

    The process has since been held up following a reprimand from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) in February and two stop orders on its investor prospectus in July.

    In one incident, the firm got into hot water with the regulator following a post on social media platform WeChat aimed at gauging interest from investors over the IPO. Various changes have also had to be made to the firm's prospectus.

    Following final revisions to Bitcoin Group's filing in December, the way is now supposedly clear for the initial public offering (IPO) to go ahead.

    Once, approved Bitcoin Group would join digitalX (formerly digitalBTC) as the second bitcoin firm to have secured a listing on the ASX, the largest exchange in the Australian market.
