UBS Group AG has joined other banks, including HSBC Holdings Plc, in allowing clients in Hong Kong to trade crypto-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Three crypto ETFs, namely Samsung Bitcoin Futures Active, CSOP Bitcoin Futures, and CSOP Ether Futures, have been authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission and will be accessible to wealthy clients on UBS’s Hong Kong platform.

UBS Crypto ETFs Offering

The news comes as Hong Kong aims to establish itself as a digital-asset hub and rolled out a digital-asset regulatory regime on June 1. While the city’s crypto push suffered a setback due to the recent blowup of the unlicensed JPEX exchange, Hong Kong has tightened scrutiny of the crypto industry through a joint task force between the SFC and the police.

The crypto sector is slowly recovering from a market rout and high-profile collapses, and speculation about the US allowing spot Bitcoin ETFs has contributed to the price increase of the largest token this year.

Financial institutions, including DBS Group Holdings Ltd. and ZA Bank Ltd., are showing signs of growing engagement with the crypto economy. UBS’s decision to allow clients to trade crypto ETFs further highlights the increasing interest and acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the financial industry.
