Australia gears up for a crypto boom as the country’s largest securities exchange is poised to list its first spot-Bitcoin ETFs by the end of 2024. 
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is anticipated to greenlight the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-etf/" target="_blank" rel="">ETFs</a>) for the main board by the end of 2024, following the previous approvals of such financial products in the U.S. and Hong Kong. 
According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-28/bitcoin-btc-etf-bandwagon-heads-to-australia-after-53-billion-haul-in-us" target="_blank" rel="">a Bloomberg report</a>, at least several issuers are already working on launching their products on ASX, including BetaShares, VanEck, and DigitalX. However, a specific timeline for the approval of spot crypto ETFs is yet to be clarified, as a spokesperson for ASX said the exchange is still engaged with multiple issuers on the matter. 
Founded in 1987, ASX has an average daily turnover of AUD $4.685 billion (~$3 billion) and a market capitalization of around AUD $2.6 trillion (~$1.7 trillion), making it one of the world’s top 20 listed exchange groups, and the largest in the southern hemisphere.

In a commentary for Bloomberg, Jamie Hannah, deputy head of investments and capital markets for VanEck Australia, suggested that self-managed superannuation programs, which hold about a quarter of the country’s $2.3 trillion pension market, could emerge as key buyers of spot-crypto funds. 
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) <a href="https://crypto.news/sec-approves-spot-bitcoin-etf-on-accelerated-basis/" target="_blank" rel="">approved</a> multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 for listing on all registered national exchanges in the U.S., including the Nasdaq, NYSE, and CBOE, following a decade-long hunt for these products. A few months later, in mid-April, Hong Kong conditionally approved its first spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, positioning the city to lead Asia as the first to embrace crypto as mainstream investment instruments in the region.
