The Hong Kong Stock Exchange now lists the Bosera HashKey Bitcoin ETF and Bosera HashKey Ether ETF. This move introduces some of the first Bitcoin and Ether spot ETFs in a major Asian financial center.
These ETFs are managed by Bosera Asset Management (International) Co., Limited, serving as the Investment Manager, and HashKey Capital Limited, acting as the Sub-Investment Manager.
The ETFs’ debut in Hong Kong has been met with positive reception, with early trading showing a climb of over three percent for the Bitcoin-focused funds.
Offering a unique ‘in-kind’ subscription mechanism, these ETFs enable direct subscription and redemption using Bitcoin and Ethereum. This facilitates a flexible and straightforward investment process for digital asset enthusiasts and investors.
The ETFs are designed to track the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – Asia Pacific Variant and the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate – Asia Pacific Variant, respectively, aiming to provide reliable benchmarks for these cryptocurrencies.
In addition, the ETFs are accessible to international investors who meet Hong Kong’s regulatory requirements, including thorough customer due diligence checks, expanding their availability beyond local investors.
