HashKey Holdings Shares Fall About 5% in Hong Kong Trading Debut

HashKey Holdings closed just below its IPO price, after fluctuating between HK$6.12 and HK$7.12 on its first trading day in Hong Kong.

Fact Check
The assessment is based on a convergence of high-authority evidence. The most definitive sources are the dedicated stock data pages from Investing.com and Reuters. Their summaries explicitly state they provide live and historical price data, including the daily high, which is the precise information needed to verify the claim. While these summaries don't quote the exact price, they confirm the existence of primary, authoritative data sources for this fact. This is strongly supported by the AAStocks news report on the company's IPO, which documents a gray market opening price of HK$6.68. The target price of HK$6.76 is only slightly higher than this opening price, making it a very plausible intra-day high, especially for a newly listed stock. Contextual information from other sources, such as the IPO being oversubscribed, further supports the likelihood of strong initial trading activity that could push the price to this level. No sources contradict the claim. The combination of definitive data sources and highly relevant circumstantial evidence makes the statement very likely to be true.

Summary

HashKey Holdings (03887.HK) debuted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, opening at HK$6.77 and closing at HK$6.67, slightly under its HK$6.68 IPO price. During the session, the stock reached a high of HK$7.12 and a low of HK$6.12. The company controls about 75% of Hong Kong’s licensed crypto trading market and processed HK$638 billion worth of trades in 2024. Despite strong IPO demand, HashKey remains unprofitable, with cumulative net losses of roughly HK$3.0 billion since 2022 due to an ultra‑low fee model and high regulatory compliance costs. Its focus has shifted to the Hong Kong market following the closure of its Bermuda‑registered retail entity, making growth reliant on local institutional participation and regulatory conditions.
