Update Jul 22, 1.45 pm UTC): This article has been updated to&nbsp; with comment from&nbsp;Tristan Frizza.
On July 23, Hong Kong will see 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 CSOP Asset Management — one of the largest asset managers in China — aims to offer investors a method of profiting from declines in the price of Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>).
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 data-ct-non-breakable="true" 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 Bitcoin Futures.

Speaking with Cointelegraph,&nbsp;Tristan Frizza, Founder of Zeta Markets, explained that the launch of the inverse Bitcoin ETF highlights the “increasing sophistication of crypto financial products” globally.

 “By enabling bets against the market, financial instruments like this have the potential to balance speculative activities and contribute to long-term market stability, which is crucial for the maturation of the crypto sector and the acceptance of crypto as established investment assets.”

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">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 $HK&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/hong-kong-spot-crypto-etfs-debut-6-things">worth $170 million in assets under management</a> as of April 29.

On July 5, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) issued alerts about&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/hong-kong-sfc-warns-seven-unlicensed-crypto-exchanges">seven crypto exchanges operating illegally</a>&nbsp;in the region.
The 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 SFC aims to reduce the risks of fraud and scams by managing public records of registered, unregistered and illegal crypto trading entities.
