Harvest Fund Management’s Hong Kong branch has reportedly filed for a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) with the Securities and Futures Commission. 
According to a Tencent News <a href="https://new.qq.com/rain/a/20240129A02R6D00" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>, Harvest Fund <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/hong-kong/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hong Kong</a> has filed for a spot <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-etf/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin ETF</a> with the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission (SFC), as the local authorities have signaled their willingness to greenlight spot crypto ETFs. As of press time, Harvest Fund made no public statements on the matter. 
The report suggests that the SFC is leaning towards approving the ETF for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange post the conclusion of the Chinese New Year, slated to end on Feb. 11. According to Tencent News, there is a possibility that the SFC might follow the U.S. in the way of approving applications from multiple companies simultaneously. 
As of now, Harvest Fund stands as the exclusive institution to have formally submitted an application for a spot Bitcoin ETF, the report notes.
