💹 Chinese IPOs in the U.S. Are Making a Comeback
After two years of muted activity—due to rising geopolitical tensions, and security concerns—Chinese IPOs in the U.S. are making a comeback.
Since January 2024, 48 new listings have occurred, led mostly by small cap companies with an average IPO of $50 million.
For context, the Chinese government clamped down on offshore listings in 2021. They introduced a new data review process that could block an overseas IPO if the government felt it threatened Chinese national security.
