Hong Kong’s Largest Crypto Exchange HashKey Debuts on HKEX Following $206 Million IPO

HashKey, Hong Kong’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has officially listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (HKEX) after raising $206 million through its initial public offering (IPO). The company’s shares commenced trading on the main board at HKD 6.70 (approximately USD 0.86), marking a significant milestone as the first publicly traded digital asset enterprise in Asia.

According to HKEX data, HashKey’s IPO garnered substantial investor interest, with the company selling 240 million shares. The offering was massively oversubscribed—nearly 394 times for the Hong Kong tranche, which sold 24 million shares, and 5.5 times internationally, with 216.5 million shares sold. This demand underscores mounting investor confidence in the crypto sector amid ongoing institutional and retail interest.

The listing attracted participation from nine cornerstone investors, including Cithara Global Multi-Strategy SPC, UBS Asset Management Singapore, Fidelity, and CDH. Notably, Cithara and UBS received allocations of around 17.5 million and 11.7 million shares, respectively.

During its debut, HashKey experienced notable volatility: its share price briefly surged about 5%, reaching roughly HKD 0.91 before falling to approximately HKD 0.78 during trading. The stock remained slightly below its IPO price—around HKD 0.84—in afternoon trading.

HashKey’s chairman and CEO, Xiao Feng, highlighted the significance of the listing: “Listing on the HKEX is a starting point that signifies greater responsibility.” He emphasized the company’s commitment to compliance, security, and infrastructure development as integral to its growth strategy, particularly in Hong Kong.

As the cryptocurrency market continues to expand, HashKey’s public listing signals increased acceptance of digital assets within traditional capital markets. This IPO follows a trend of major crypto firms, including stablecoin issuer Circle and exchanges like Gemini, preparing for or executing public offerings in 2025. The trend reflects a maturing industry increasingly integrated into global financial systems.

Meanwhile, other notable US-based firms, such as Kraken, have also moved toward public markets, with reports of confidential IPO filings hinting at a broader institutional shift in the industry’s pursuit of legitimacy and growth.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
