Nasdaq Tightens Listing Rules for Chinese Companies Amid Investor Protection Push

BTCCSquare news:
Nasdaq unveiled stricter listing standards on Thursday, targeting small-cap IPOs and Chinese firms seeking U.S. market access. The exchange now mandates a $15 million minimum public float—triple the previous $5 million threshold—and accelerates suspension protocols for non-compliant companies.
Chinese listings face heightened scrutiny with a $25 million capital raise requirement, mirroring Nasdaq's existing benchmark. The reforms aim to curb volatility in low-float stocks while improving market liquidity. "This institutionalizes safeguards against pump-and-dump schemes," observed one market strategist, noting the rules particularly impact speculative microcap listings.
