Key Points:
- Hong Kong crypto ETFs have been launched, offering unique redemption options.
- The market response is subdued as Bitcoin hovers around $63,500.
- Other firms have also introduced crypto ETFs, but the excitement is lower than in the US launches.
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have officially launched in Hong Kong as its stock market opened, marking a significant milestone in the region’s cryptocurrency investment landscape.
Hong Kong Crypto ETFs Launched With Unique Features
Spearheaded by China Asset Management (CAM) and digital asset service provider OSL, Hong Kong crypto ETFs offer options for both cash and physical redemptions, a feature not available in the US market.
During a pre-launch press briefing, Zhu Haokang, head of digital assets at Huaxia, expressed confidence in the Hong Kong crypto ETFs’ potential, projecting trading volumes exceeding the $125 million recorded by similar ETFs in the US upon their launch in January.
Joining China Asset Management, Bosera Asset Management, and Harvest Global Investments have also debuted crypto ETFs through their Hong Kong subsidiaries on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the tickers BOS and HGI.
Expansion of Crypto Investment Options in Hong Kong with ETF Debuts
However, despite the anticipation surrounding the debut, the crypto markets experienced a downturn, with Bitcoin (BTC) fluctuating around $63,500. BTC slipped from $64,000 over the weekend to $61,800 the previous day.
While the debut of Hong Kong crypto ETFs occurred, it failed to generate the same level of excitement as seen with the US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Notably, Bitcoin nearly doubled in price in the three months leading up to the January 11 debut, with significant inflows propelling it over $73,000 in March. The subdued response in Hong Kong suggests a more cautious approach from investors compared to the fervor seen in the US market.
