Chinaโs stock markets are some of the largest in the world, with total market capitalization reaching RMB 79 trillion (US$12.2 trillion) in 2020. Chinaโs stock markets are seen as a crucial tool for driving economic growth, in particular for financing the countryโs rapidly growing high-tech sectors.Although traditionally closed off to overseas investors, Chinaโs financial markets have gradually been loosening restrictions over the past couple of decades. At the same time, reforms have sought to make it easier for Chinese companies to list on onshore stock exchanges, and new programs have been launched in attempts to lure some of Chinaโs most coveted overseas-listed companies back to the country.
Telegram Be The Next Best SPAC
I have no inside knowledge of a potential stock listing of the popular anti-Whatsapp messaging app, Telegram. But I know this much, judging by most people I talk to, especially crypto investors, if Telegram ever went public, people would gobble it up. I know I would. Iโm waiting for it. So is Sergei Sergienko, who claims he owns $800,000 of Telegramโs pre-initial coin offering (ICO) tokens. โIf Telegram does a SPAC IPO, there would be demand for this issue. It would probably outstrip the interest we saw during the ICO. Why? Because as of right now Telegram looks like a liberal application that can accept anyone - right after WhatsApp and others have turn on the censorship,โ he says.
