Ant Group, Jack Ma’s Alibaba’s virtual payment networks of China, plans to make public on what could well be the largest IPOs ever made.
According to a press release issued Monday, Ant announced his intention to make public through a simultaneous directory on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges, not to mention a catalog in New York.
Ant Group operates Alipay, the world’s largest cellular payment platform, and Yu’e Bao, once the world’s largest coin fund.
An IPO beneficiary of Ant? Jack Ma of Alibaba, who acquired 33% fintech in 201nine after splitting it years earlier. Alibaba jumped 4% to $257.67 in Monday’s trading.

The IPO could be the largest ever cast. According to a Reuters report beyond this month, Ant was aiming for a valuation of more than $2.00 billion, well above his 2018 valuation of $150 billion in his last funding round.
The resolve not to list its actions in New York could be due to emerging tensions between the United States and China. In addition to the dispute over China’s rise and debatable about Hong Kong, the fraud revealed through China-based Luckin Coffee has put a sour taste in the mouths of investors connected to Chinese stocks.
In May, it was discovered that Luckin Cofpayment had falsified his economic records and inflated his income, leading to a one-week closure. The lucky co-pay fell to 80% in the news. This led the Senate to pass a bill that would require foreign corporations that qualify their shares in the United States to adhere to U.S. criteria for auditing and tax regulation.
If b becomes law, it will lead to the dedirectory of the great Chinese apple movements in the United States.
According to the Wall Street Journal, which mentions a person’s case, Ant hopes to list his actions later this year.
