HONG KONG -- Chinese e-commerce company JD.com has filed for a secondary listing in Hong Kong that could raise about $3.2 billion, according to two people familiar with the deal.

Nasdaq-listed JD.com, which currently has a market valuation of $64 billion, filed for the offering confidentially with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this week and aims to sell 5%, one of these people said.
