While Spot Bitcoin ETF applications progress, reports suggest Hong Kong could launch Spot Ethereum ETFs before the United States.
Hong Kong financial institutions are preparing to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs to capitalize on the soaring demand for cryptocurrency investment products.
Ten institutions, including Harvest Finance, are advancing Bitcoin ETF applications, with the possibility of introducing spot Ethereum ETFs ahead of the United States, according to a recent local media report.
Many investors are concerned that Asian Bitcoin spot ETFs are lacking, which could disadvantage them compared to American investors. The potential risk of delayed market entry by U.S. capital adds urgency to the call for swift approval of spot ETFs in Hong Kong.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission plays a pivotal role in determining the initial listings of Bitcoin spot ETFs in Hong Kong.
The expectation is that the Hong Kong market may see fewer ETFs compared to the U.S., aligning with the smaller size of the regional markets. This strategic decision aims to boost liquidity and foster the growth of Hong Kong's market.
While the approval process for spot Bitcoin ETFs is progressing, the spotlight is reportedly on Hong Kong's ability to debut spot Ethereum ETFs ahead of the United States.
As the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently delayed spot Ether ETF applications by BlackRock and Fidelity, Hong Kong sees an opportunity to take the lead.
Market experts anticipate potential approval of US Ethereum spot ETFs by the end of May, offering a window for Hong Kong to establish itself as a frontrunner in the Ethereum ETF space.
Even as the spot ETFs are in the pipeline, Bitcoin futures ETFs in Hong Kong are flourishing. The Southern Bitcoin ETF and Samsung Bitcoin ETF reached new highs amid the recent crypto market rally
