According to news from Shenchao TechFlow, on January 16, as reported by Jinshi, informed sources revealed that Xiaohongshu's largest shareholders, GGV Capital, GSR Ventures, and Tian Tu Capital, are in negotiations to sell part of their shares, with a valuation of no less than 20 billion USD. Existing shareholders Sequoia Capital (formerly Sequoia China) and Hillhouse Investment have expressed acquisition intentions, and Tencent is also considering increasing its stake.
Due to the potential ban on TikTok in the United States, this transaction has drawn market attention. Informed sources pointed out that due to the existing shareholders' right of first refusal and the uncertain situation regarding TikTok, there remains uncertainty surrounding the deal.
