The announcement highlights a significant advancement in Hong Kong’s finance sector, particularly in integrating digital currencies into mainstream financial instruments. These ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum through a regulated framework, potentially increasing the adoption of cryptocurrencies in traditional investment portfolios.
Competition Intensifies with Fee Waivers
Launching these ETFs could trigger a competitive response among local financial institutions. Notably, Harvest has entered the scene aggressively, offering a full fee waiver initially and setting a low ongoing fee of just 0.3% thereafter. This move could lead to a fee war in Hong Kong’s burgeoning digital currency ETF market as providers vie to attract investors by lowering costs.
