Huaxia Fund: The first batch of Hong Kong Bitcoin spot ETFs is expected to have an initial scale of 125 million USD

ChainCatcher news, according to Zhitong Finance, Zhu Haokang, head of digital asset management and family wealth at Huaxia (Hong Kong), stated that apart from Grayscale, the remaining 10 U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF issuers had a total issuance scale of $125 million on the first day, January 10 of this year. The three issuers in Hong Kong will exceed this figure, with Huaxia Fund being the largest among them.

Compared to the U.S., Hong Kong's spot ETFs allow for cash and physical subscriptions or redemptions. Huaxia's ETF is the only one that offers three currencies: USD, HKD, and RMB, and it is also the only ETF issuer with non-listed shares. Many traditional crypto asset investors have actively participated in its IOP (Initial Offering) phase. Bitcoin miners, investors from regions outside Hong Kong such as Singapore and the Middle East, and local family offices are all interested in investing in its ETF.

Analysts expect that the asset management scale of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in Hong Kong could reach $1 billion in the future, but whether this goal can be achieved may depend on the speed of improvements in infrastructure and the ecosystem.
