Hong Kong is on the verge of making a significant move in the world of digital finance, as it prepares to approve Spot Bitcoin ETF and the Ethereum version in a few days. As <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-12/hong-kong-bitcoin-ether-etf-approval-expected-as-soon-as-monday" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> by Bloomberg, this decision marks a pivotal moment for the region, demonstrating its growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies and its desire to position itself as a leading hub for digital asset trading.

According to individuals familiar with the matter, the International arm of Chinese asset manager Harvest Fund Management Co. and a partnership between Bosera Asset Management International Co. and HashKey Capital are expected to receive approval for the spot crypto ETFs launch. These approvals would represent a major milestone for the firms involved and the wider digital asset ecosystem in Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, both companies plan to introduce their ETFs by the end of the month, pending approval from the Securities and Futures Commission and finalizing listing details with Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. Although the exact time of approval is unknown, crypto enthusiasts expect the launch to come as soon as Monday, next week.
However, Hong Kong’s endorsement of crypto ETFs could set a precedent for other jurisdictions to follow suit, further legitimizing the asset class and paving the way for broader adoption.
