Hong Kong continues to welcome new avenues for investors to trade cryptocurrencies as Nasdaq-listed Tiger Brokers rolls out cryptocurrency support on its Tiger Trade mobile and desktop app.&nbsp;
According to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph, professional investors can access 18 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) and Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>), alongside stocks, options, futures, U.S. Treasury bonds, and other global assets.
Tiger Brokers, which has been listed on the Nasdaq since 2019, partnered with HashKey Exchange to offer professional investors access to cryptocurrency trading.
The facility will initially be available to professional investors in Hong Kong. This includes residents with an investment portfolio valued above 8 million Hong Kong dollars&nbsp; ($1 million) and corporate entities with assets exceeding 40 million Hong Kong dollars ($5 million).
The firm plans to extend its cryptocurrency trading services to regular retail investors, which requires regulatory approval. Tiger Brokers also noted that it is considering adding cryptocurrency spot withdrawals and deposits.

This provides another avenue for investors to gain access to these ETFs, which have had varying degrees of success since their respective launches in the U.S. and Hong Kong.
