by

Key Highlights (Because Who Has Time for the Whole Story?)

  • HashKey snagged $206 million in its Hong Kong IPO, pricing shares at HK$6.68. 💰 Almost like they knew what they were doing! Almost.
  • Shares jumped 6.6% on debut, hitting HK$7.11, then face-planted to HK$6.48. 🌪️ Crypto markets: the rollercoaster you never asked for.
  • Investors were so into it-institutional tranche 5.5x oversubscribed, retail demand 394x. 🤯 FOMO, anyone?

So, HashKey Holdings, the crypto exchange that’s basically the cool kid in Hong Kong, made its Stock Exchange debut on Wednesday. 🎉 Raised $206 million in its IPO. Not too shabby, right? Priced shares at HK$6.68, which is basically the “I’m fancy but not too fancy” of pricing ranges.

Shares initially went, “Look at me, I’m flying!” 🚀 Up 6.6%, touching HK$7.11. Then, plot twist: they went, “Just kidding!” and slipped to HK$6.41. 🤷‍♀️ Crypto markets: the ultimate mood swing.

HashKey’s share price doing the cha-cha slide

This is basically investors going, “Hmm, crypto is volatile? Who knew?” 🤔 Meanwhile, HashKey’s CEO Xiao Feng is like, “I’m more optimistic than ever!” Because, you know, regulations are the new black. 🕶️

Founded in 2018, HashKey is Hong Kong’s crypto prom queen, offering everything from asset management to tokenization. Their IPO was hotter than a TikTok trend-institutional portion 5.5x oversubscribed, retail 394x. Even UBS and Fidelity were like, “We’re in.” 💃

CEO’s Rose-Colored Glasses (or Is It Blockchain Goggles?)

Xiao Feng is all, “Regulations? Bring it on! They’re like guardrails for our wild ride.” 🛣️ Meanwhile, HashKey’s losses are shrinking, but they’re still burning cash like it’s 2008. Priorities: tech, expansion, and probably a few fancy coffee machines.

Rival OSL’s stock took a 4.29% dip, but it’s up 30.5% in six months. So, you know, crypto: where every day is a soap opera. 🧼

Market Context (Because We Love Jargon)

HashKey listed as Bitcoin was like, “I’m just gonna chill at $87k, thanks.” 🧊 Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan showed up to the party, probably to remind everyone that Hong Kong is the place to list. 🎈

HashKey is the first crypto company to list in Hong Kong, which has raised $34 billion this year. So, yeah, they’re kind of a big deal. 💁‍♀️
