SHEIN's Hong Kong IPO Priced at $48.56, Crypto Contract Drops 17%
A day before SHEIN begins trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, a crypto-based perpetual contract tracking its expected stock price dropped nearly 17% on Hyperliquid, signaling bearish sentiment ahead of the listing. The platform allows traders to speculate on assets like pre-IPO stocks using blockchain technology. SHEIN priced its IPO at HK$48.56 per share (approximately $5.60), raising around $1.74 billion and valuing the company at roughly $26.5 billion—down nearly 75% from its peak valuation in 2022. The listing follows failed attempts to go public on U.S. and London exchanges. The e-commerce giant faces mounting challenges, including competition from Temu and reduced trade exemptions that had supported its low-cost shipping model. Recent financial results show declining revenue growth and narrowing margins, contributing to concerns about the stock's performance post-listing.
