IPO Structure: Strong Demand and Institutional Confidence

Before the official launch the platform has opened the HashKey IPO subscriptions from December 9–12, with shares priced between HK$5.95–$6.95.

Key details include:

• Lot Size: 400 shares

• Subscription Amount per Lot: HK$2,808.04

• Planned Fundraising: $1.426 billion to $1.67 billion in HK

• Valuation at Upper Range: ~HK$19 billion

The exchange is offering nearly 241 million shares globally, with 10% (24.0572 million shares) for the native public and the remaining 90% (approx. 217 million shares) for international placement.

The IPO is co-sponsored by JPMorgan Asia and Guotai Junan, signalling confidence from major financial institutions. But this is not the end of strong confidence, it's just a start. 

Heavyweight Institutional Support

A defining feature of the exchnage's IPO is its strong lineup of cornerstone investors, who are subscribing to $584 million worth of shares, representing 37.63% of the total offering. Participants include:

UBS AM Singapore, Fidelity Investments, CDH, Xinting Fund, Infini, Space 2 PTE LTD, Zhiyuan, Litong, and Shining Light Grace Limited.

This blend of asset managers, private equity firms, and global funds shows rising institutional confidence in regulated crypto infrastructure.

Platform’s Expanding Web3 Footprint: Growth Plans

Founded in 2018, the exchange operates across crypto trading, custody, asset management, brokerage, and tokenisation. It holds regulated licenses in HongKong, Singapore, Japan, and Bermuda, and is pursuing approvals in the EU and MENA, where its Global MENA exchange launched in May 2025.

In the first half of 2025, the platform processed HK$214 billion ($27.5 billion) in trading volume, over 3× more than OSL, its closest regulated competitor.

And now with its HashKey IPO funds, the company plans to:

• Scale technology and infrastructure

• Strengthen risk management systems

• Expand Workforce globally

• Support tokenization and RWA programs

This reflects HashKey’s ongoing growth trajectory, while more importantly, the platform is helping pave the way for HongKong’s broader development in the digital asset space.

A Major Test of Hong Kong’s Crypto Ambitions

Hong Kong aims to establish itself as a digital-asset hub, with 11 licensed exchanges operating under its regime. The HashKey IPO will be a crucial indicator of investor appetite for regulated crypto businesses amid market volatility and China’s ongoing restrictions.

A successful listing could accelerate:

• Virtual asset regulation adoption

• Stablecoin legislation

• RWA (real-world asset) tokenisation programs

• Institutional participation in Hong Kong’s Web3 economy
  

With strong global backing and high trading volumes, the exchange is emerging as a central player in Hong Kong’s regulated future.
