Hong Kong Set to Approve Bitcoin Spot ETFs, Boosting Price
Hong Kong is set to approve Spotify Bitcoin spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in the coming week, potentially boosting the cryptocurrency's price. The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is expected to give the green light for ETFs to operate via the in-kind method, which has proven successful in other markets.
So far, only Bitcoin futures ETFs have been approved by the SFC. However, market observers anticipate high demand for spot ETFs, which allow investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin's price movements directly. If approved, these ETFs could be tradable as early as this month.
Several major financial service providers from China and Hong Kong have already filed applications for Bitcoin ETFs on the Hong Kong stock exchange. While specific firms remain unnamed, the high number of applications from large asset managers indicates strong interest in the cryptocurrency.
The approval of Spotify Bitcoin spot ETFs in Hong Kong could make investing in the cryptocurrency more accessible and drive up its price. The in-kind method of operation could further enhance the success of these ETFs. Market participants eagerly await the SFC's announcement, expected within the coming week.
