Serial entrepreneur and angel investor Calvin Ng fully acquires leading global crypto exchange ABCC
Singapore-based ABCC Exchange (“ABCC”) announced today that serial entrepreneur and angel investor Calvin Ng has entered into an agreement to fully acquire the company.
Mr Calvin Ng has acquired the stake in ABCC from co-founder Mr Calvin Cheng for an undisclosed sum with aggressive near-term plans to further scale the company in key high-growth regions.
ABCC is a cryptocurrency exchange headquartered in Singapore, with a subsidiary in Gibraltar. Launched in March 2018, it has a daily trading volume of USD$35 million and communities in 12 languages. At the end of 2018, it was ranked as one of the top 5 exchanges in the world in trading volume. Headed by Mr Calvin Cheng, the team has a wealth of prior experience in some of the top technology and financial firms, providing ABCC users with a secure and seamless trading experience.
Following the acquisition, the company is looking to relaunch as a ‘Community Focused’ crypto exchange and sets its sights to transform into a crypto finance company. The refreshed ABCC platform will share all of the economic and non-economic benefits to the community be it traders or promoters.
More recently, ABCC joined the Singapore Fintech Association, a cross-industry platform to facilitate collaboration between all market participants and stakeholders in the FinTech ecosystem. This comes at a time when the Singapore parliament has passed the Payment Services Act (“PSA”), positioning the country as one of the emerging leaders in regulating the Fintech space.
In the near term, ABCC will actively move in the direction of being regulated as the company views regulation as the next positive step in the industry. Mr Ng and his consortium of investors have earmarked US$20 million for aggressive expansion initiatives should ABCC be successful in obtaining a PSA license.
ABCC also has plans to broaden its geographical presence in burgeoning crypto markets such as Vietnam, Singapore and Russia. Market expansion in each of these countries is ongoing, having partnered with local players while carrying out airdrop campaigns for their communities.
Speaking on the sale of his stake in ABCC, Mr. Calvin Cheng said, “On the back of rising crypto prices, the purchaser made a generous offer and I felt that it was the right time for me to exit and step aside for ABCC’s next chapter. We have found the right partner in Mr Ng who has deep experience in blockchain and digital ledger technology businesses. I believe that with the right licenses in place, ABCC is in a strong position to be once again one of the top crypto exchanges in the world. This is just the beginning for ABCC as this new set of investors will be able to grow ABCC into a dominant player in the crypto currency market.”
Mr. Calvin Ng said, “ABCC is a well-managed crypto exchange that comes with a host of technology that no one is aware of. ABCC comes not just with a great brand name but being in Singapore makes it perfect with upcoming PSA licenses which will provide confidence to traders and investors globally. Investors want to trade on exchanges that are licensed in reputable countries that take regulation seriously.
We have many plans to take ABCC forward. One of them is becoming a “Community Exchange“ where we will distribute tokens instead of selling them. We will also be creating a fund in excess of US$20 million to fund ABCC’s expansion across Southeast Asia and to make ABCC into a next-generation crypto finance company that will provide a host of cryptocurrency financial services.“

The company’s NFT collections provide daily bitcoin rewards to holders, with their substantial fleet of real equipment installed across the globe. Continuing their successful streak after the highly acclaimed East NFT Collection, this latest release marks the next installment in a series of crypto art devoted to various regions. GoMining’s fresh North NFT Collection draws inspiration from three key references: the critical role of low temperatures in mining device operations, the restraint and resilience found in northern regions, and the empowering force driving their endeavors. These references served as the foundation for the collection’s captivating images, reflecting the core principles behind GoMining’s innovative approach to bitcoin mining.
GoMining’s new NFT series is issued on the Binance Smart Chain, utilizing the BEP-20 standard for seamless integration and accessibility. With an impressive energy efficiency rating of 35 W/TH, these NFTs ensure the quickest payback period for holders. Moreover, the NFTs offer a diverse range of computing power options, spanning from 1 to 128 TH/s, accommodating various mining requirements and preferences.
In just over two years, GoMining has achieved remarkable growth. The platform has distributed more than 2,000 BTC to holders, issued 20,000 NFTs, and elevated its overall hash power from 100,000 TH/s to an astounding 2,359,877 TH/s. This exponential progress showcases the project’s resounding success and commitment to innovation in the cryptocurrency and NFT space.
As per GoMining’s CEO Mark Zalan, the company is doing everything to offer a broad variety of options to its holders, proving its sustainability and transparent approach. “We’ve been in operation for over two years providing consistent rewards for our holders daily. All of our efforts are aimed at showing tangible infrastructure behind the product – in this case real equipment with data centers in different regions like Norway.”
GoMining remains dedicated to introducing updated versions of its NFTs, originally crafted to provide easier access to bitcoin mining. All NFT collections, such as the renowned collaboration with MMA star Khabib Nurmagomedov, combine visually stunning designs with real equipment-generated computing power, offering continuous mining rewards to their owners.

New study reveals the cryptocoins that the US wants to sell the most
A new study has revealed the cryptocoins Americans want to sell the most, with Bitcoin taking the top spot.
The research was conducted by crypto gambling experts at cryptogambling.tv, who analyzed Google Trends data to establish the cryptocurrencies the US wants to sell the most out of the 24 largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, giving an average weekly search volume for the interest in selling each cryptocoin.
The study revealed that Bitcoin has the highest number of searches from Americans looking to sell this cryptocurrency. Searches to ‘sell bitcoin’ were the highest at the end of July in the United States and worldwide.
Many factors might sway someone to sell their Bitcoin, with the main reason being the current financial and economic strain many countries in the world are facing, prompting people to tap out and cut their losses. Last year the price of the cryptocoin dropped below $16,000, which highlights its downfall tremendously, and with Bitcoin’s value being based purely on speculation, it can be challenging for those who don’t know whether or not to stick with it.
Ethereum is the second cryptocoin Americans want to sell the most, with searches for ‘sell Ethereum’ being the highest in September worldwide. Although the currency is known for owning around 20% of the global crypto market, those wanting to invest tend to agree that it is one of the safest long-term coins. The current price of Ethereum is $1,458, and with the cryptocoin shifting its process from PoW to PoS, it’s predicted its supply may reduce.
XRP is the third cryptocoin Americans want to sell the most, as it is predicted that its price will be near $0.198 by the end of this year. XRP runs by RippleNet and is a low-cost coin which is excellent for those who want to begin investing; however, due to the current lawsuit proceedings with the SEC, there is a significant decrease in interest for the currency, which has undoubtedly urged investors to act fast and sell.
The fourth cryptocoin Americans want to sell the most is Dogecoin, which, although it has remained one of the top cryptocurrencies in the industry, is still not a solid investment for many investors. The coin rose over 15,000% over 2021, and for a cryptocoin which was created as a joke when it first began, it has truly exceeded expectations. Many avoid investing in Dogecoin due to its price volatility, no supply limit, and not being as widely accepted as other competing coins; these are reasons why many also want to sell.
Shiba Inu is the fifth cryptocoin that Americans are looking to sell, and while the coin is top-rated, it is advised that those looking to invest should not use it as a long-term investment. The coin is down almost 92% since 2021, but many investors hope it will still go up in time as it is currently at over 589 trillion.
An expert at cryptogambling.tv commented: “The cryptocurrency market is forever fluctuating, and with the increase in economic stress worldwide, it can be an uncertain and nerve-racking time for those hoping to make sound investments in the crypto world.
“This study offers an interesting insight into which cryptocoins Americans currently want to sell, with Bitcoin being the most popular to sell.”
