Chinese stocks are on the move Friday as investors react to news that Ant Group may finally be able to go public.

To catch up traders real quick, Ant Group was planning for an initial public offering (IPO) back in 2020. However, Chinese regulators cracked down on the company after founder Jack Ma criticized them for stifling growth.

Fast forward two years and the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has reportedly accepted Ant Group’s application to become a financial holding company. Insiders are expecting PBOC to approve this application.

If that happens, it means Ant Group is likely on track to hold its IPO, and it could be a doozy. Back in 2020, it was expecting to raise $37 billion from an IPO. That would have made it the largest IPO to date.

News of regulators easing up on Ant Group is causing other Chinese stocks to ride higher today. Let’s go over them below!
