Hong Kong Stock Exchange Spokesperson: Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs will promptly inform the market of any new progress

The South China Morning Post reported that sources said the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission may approve Bitcoin and Ether spot trading exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as early as next Monday, although the specific time has not yet been determined and may still change at the last minute. Once approved by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, the two companies plan to launch the above-mentioned funds at the end of this month. A spokesperson for the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited responded when asked: "The Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited is committed to supporting the continued growth and development of its active ETF ecosystem. If there are any new developments, we will promptly inform the market." Spokespersons for the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and CSOP Asset Management declined to comment, while HashKey and Bosera Funds did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
