That’s according to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-10/china-s-harvest-may-get-hong-kong-approval-for-spot-bitcoin-etf-in-april" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> that cited people familiar with the matter, after Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/hong-kong-set-approve-its-first-spot-bitcoin-etfs-april-sources-say-2024-04-10/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a>&nbsp;earlier that the first approvals are likely to be announced in the next week.&nbsp;

The city’s Securities &amp; Futures Commission (SFC) gave Harvest the go-ahead on Apr. 9 to provide virtual-asset related fund management services, Bloomberg said. With this approval, the company is allowed to manage portfolios that invest over 10% in digital assets.&nbsp;
China Asset Management also received such approval on the same day, according to the SFC’s website. Both of these firms’ parent companies are among the biggest fund managers in China, and each manage more than 1 trillion yuan ($138 billion) in assets.

The push for ETF approvals is part of an effort to bolster <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/ordinals-asia-a-mega-bitcoin-ordinals-event-sets-to-happen-next-month-in-hong-kong" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hong Kong’s</a> status as a global financial hub, after it lost some of its shine following China’s swingeing crackdown on dissent in the territory.
“The significance of Hong Kong ETFs is far-reaching as it could bring in fresh global investment as well as pushing crypto adoption to a new height,” Adrian Wang, CEO of Hong Kong crypto wealth manager Metalpha, told Reuters.
At least four mainland Chinese and Hong Kong asset managers have filed applications to launch spot Bitcoin ETFs, two sources familiar with the process told Bloomberg.

Cryptocurrency trading has been banned in mainland China, but offshore Chinese financial institutions have been making strides to participate in Hong Kong’s growing crypto asset industry.&nbsp;
In 2022, Hong Kong approved its first ETFs for crypto futures. Since then, the CSOP Bitcoin Futures ETF, which is the biggest, has experienced 7x growth in its assets under management.
