On July 23, Hong Kong will witness the launch of Asia’s first Bitcoin futures inverse product, the CSOP Bitcoin Future Daily (-1x) Inverse Product (7376.HK).
The new exchange-traded fund (ETF) by China Southern Asset Management Co., Ltd (CSOP) aims to offer investors a method of profiting from declines in Bitcoin’s (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) price.
This development follows the successful launch of the CSOP Bitcoin Futures ETF (3066.HK) in December 2022, continuing the firm’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.

<h2 id="product-details">Product details</h2>
The CSOP Bitcoin Futures Daily (-1x) Inverse Product is designed to offer investment results that correspond closely to the inverse daily performance of the S&amp;P Bitcoin Futures Index.
This inverse product achieves this through a futures-based replication strategy, which invests directly into spot-month Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Bitcoin Futures.
According to a CSOP company <a href="https://csop-pdf-bucket1.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/upload/pdf/875c3f10-0b14-4d53-9102-177b9eda7873.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post</a> on July 22, the product is set to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) with a listing price of approximately 7.8 Hong Kong dollars (HKD) per unit.

HKEX has been trading spot crypto ETFs since late 2022 after CSOP introduced its Bitcoin Futures ETF and Ether Futures ETF.
Both products track BTC futures and Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) futures cash-settled contracts traded on the CME and were followed by Samsung Asset Management Hong Kong’s Bitcoin future ETF in January 2023.
Between the three futures products, HKEX crypto ETFs had amassed 1.3 billion HKD <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/hong-kong-spot-crypto-etfs-debut-6-things" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">worth $170 million in assets under management</a> as of April 29.

On July 5, the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/hong-kong-sfc-warns-seven-unlicensed-crypto-exchanges" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">issued alerts against seven crypto exchanges for illegal operations</a> in the region.
The HK SFC flagged the exchanges for facilitating services without operational licenses and placed them under the “Suspicious virtual asset trading platforms” on its alert list.
The HK SFC aims to reduce the risks of fraud and scams by managing public records of registered, unregistered and illegal crypto trading entities.
