What makes Didi choose New York rather than Hongkong for its IPO?
Hong Kong got benefits after U.S. regulators last year enacted a law to boot Chinese companies off U.S. exchanges unless American regulators are permitted to review their financial audits. The city has been attracting growing volumes of IPOs or dual-listings from mainland Chinese companies over the past two years.However, Chinese ride-sharing giant Didi did not choose Hongkong this time but sought its debut in New York. The company recently filed F-1 with SEC to go public in the U.S., possibly becoming one of the biggest tech IPOs in 2021.Founded in 2012, Didi has become China's top ride-hailing firm and the world's largest mobility technology platform. The company operates in nearly 4,000 cities, counties, and towns across 15 countries. Except for the traditional ride-sharing business, Di
Team behind Playboy's successful go-public deal files for $50M IPO for fourth SPAC
During "Peak SPAC" early this year, the SPAC market gained significant attention from media and investors alike, and with good reason – there have been 329 new SPACs formed so far in 2021, up from 248 in 2020 and 59 in 2019. However, after the SEC issued new accounting guidance, which would classify SPAC warrants as liabilities instead of equity instruments, there were only 13 new SPACs in April and 18 in May, decreasing from March's record high of 109 new SPACs.Despite the new SEC guidance and subsequent slowdown in recent weeks, SPACs are still attractive. Industry insiders now view the SPAC market as healthier and more rational as the more seasoned SPAC management teams are pushing ahead.The SPAC merger process is still a good way for private companies to project their future revenues a
China cracks down on cryptocurrencies again, but it won't stop investors from trading
After China banned banks and payment firms from providing services related to crypto-currency transactions, Bitcoin tumbled as much as 30% to a low of $30,101 on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, other digital currencies such as Ether, which acts as the fuel for the Ethereum blockchain network, and Dogecoin lost as much as 22% and 24% respectively.Nevertheless, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies bounced back within 24 hours, recovering some of yesterday's losses. For example, Bitcoin flirted with the $40,000 level on Thursday, according to Coindesk. The fresh crackdown may make it harder for individuals to buy cryptocurrencies, and the fears of regulatory crackdown could impact miners' business by making it more difficult for them to exchange cryptocurrencies for yuan, but it won't stop crypto
3 Key Headwinds for Tesla Investors Should Be Concerned About
Tesla's stock price skyrocketed 740% in 2020, but the stocks seemed to lose power as soon as reaching a record high of $900 per share in late January. Meanwhile, Tesla's stock price has been dropped 18% to $582 per share for the past eight trading days in May. I am not saying Tesla is not a good and fast-growing company anymore. Tesla is of course a great company run by a great visionary. However, investors are split on whether Tesla is a good investment in 2021 and where the shares will move next. I can’t predict the stock price, but there are three main headwinds facing Tesla that I think are pertinent to consider today. 1.Inflation concerns are pricking Tech stocks’ bubbles The Labor Department report shows the Consumer Price Index spiked 4.2% from a year ago, the f

It last traded at around $56,000 on Tuesday, according to data from Coin Metrics.There is no doubt that more and more retail investors or Institutional Investors begin to invest in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
