HashKey Targets $215 Million IPO in Hong Kong Crypto Market Debut
Hong Kong's HashKey Exchange prepares for its December 17 trading debut under the city's updated digital-asset framework. The IPO aims to raise up to $215 million, with 240 million shares offered globally at HK$5.95–HK$6.95 per share. At the upper range, the listing could value HashKey at HK$1.67 billion ($215 million), marking Hong Kong's first public crypto-native exchange.
Proceeds will fuel technology upgrades (40%) and market expansion (40%), testing investor appetite for regulated platforms. The pricing decision on December 16 comes as Hong Kong positions itself as a crypto hub, with HashKey's compliance-focused model serving as a litmus test for institutional crypto adoption in Asia.
