BEIJING, Aug 21 (Reuters) – Chinese chipmaker Yangtze Memory ​Technologies Corp’s (YMTC) ‌application to list its shares in Shanghai has been accepted by ‌the ​financial ⁠hub’s stock exchange, ⁠filings showed on Friday

The move sets the stage for a ​33 billion yuan ($4.9 billion) share ⁠sale on ⁠Shanghai’s Nasdaq-style STAR ​Market, that would ​rank among the market’s ‌biggest-ever offerings, the exchange said.

The listing follows recent blockbuster ⁠flotations by other Chinese technology champions, including memory ⁠chip ‌maker ChangXin Memory ⁠Technologies, or ​CXMT, ‌and robotics company ​Unitree.
