HashKey Holdings Ltd., Hong Kong's largest licensed cryptocurrency exchange operator, has priced its initial public offering (IPO) at the high end of its market-promoted price range. HashKey sold 240.6 million shares at HK$6.68 per share, raising HK$1.6 billion (approximately US$206 million) in the Hong Kong IPO. The promotional price range for the shares was HK$5.95 to HK$6.95 per share. HashKey did not exercise its option to increase the size of the offering. The top 20 institutional entities received approximately 80% of the shares allocated to institutional investors (excluding cornerstone investors).
