The Zhitong Finance App learned that Yamato released a research report stating that it gave OSL Group (00836) a target price of HK$18.8 and a “buy” rating. OSL is Daiwa's preferred Hong Kong cryptocurrency company. Yamato stated that HashKey (03887) was listed on December 17. Hashkey raised HK$1.6 billion through an IPO. The listing progress was faster than expected. Hashkey's IPO price was about 13 times the market sales rate (P/S) of the expected revenue in 2026, which is basically consistent with OSL's current transaction valuation.

Given the recent weakness in the cryptocurrency market and the continued decline in global exchange trading volume, Yamato believes that investors' confidence in Hashkey and OSL may remain sluggish in the short term. However, Dai is optimistic about the future of the cryptocurrency industry in the first quarter of 2026, mainly due to Hong Kong's expected approval of the first stablecoin license and the shift of the Federal Reserve's policy to improve liquidity in the Chinese and US markets.
