Final STAR Market results showed more than 6.01 billion shares paid for, while the $8.6 billion Shanghai listing highlighted Hefei’s state-backed investment gains and an offshore crypto contract implied a far higher valuation.
Changxin Technology, also referred to as CXMT or ChangXin Memory Technologies, is set to begin trading in Shanghai after raising $8.6 billion in Asia’s biggest IPO this year, with final STAR Market results showing investors paid for more than 6.01 billion shares across online and offline tranches. The IPO valued the Chinese DRAM maker at about 579 billion yuan, while a CXMT-linked perpetual contract on Hyperliquid traded at levels implying roughly $425 billion, or about 2.9 trillion yuan, a gap analysts said reflected restricted access and speculative positioning rather than intrinsic value. The listing also spotlighted Hefei’s state-backed technology investment model, with Hefei-linked investors holding 36.8% of CXMT worth about 213 billion yuan at the IPO price.
