香港為比特幣、以太幣 ETF 開綠燈，彰顯加密貨幣合法性

香港有條件批准了第一個現貨比特幣和以太幣交易所交易基金（ETF），這可能使其成為第一個接受加密貨幣作為主流投資的亞洲城市。嘉實基金管理公司和博時基金管理公司等三家離岸中國資產管理公司已獲得香港證券及期貨事務監察委員會（證監會）有條件批准推出虛擬資產現貨ETF。此舉是繼最近在美國推出現貨比特幣ETF之後做出的，也是香港努力將自己打造成全球數位資產中心的一部分。

Hong Kong Gives Green Light to Cryptocurrency ETFs, Paving the Way for Virtual Asset Adoption

香港為加密貨幣 ETF 開綠燈，為虛擬資產採用鋪路

In a groundbreaking move, Hong Kong has conditionally approved the launch of its first spot bitcoin and ether exchange traded funds (ETFs), opening the door for the city to become Asia's pioneer in recognizing cryptocurrencies as legitimate investment instruments. This significant development is expected to attract significant investments and position Hong Kong as a global hub for virtual assets.

香港有條件批准推出首個現貨比特幣和以太幣交易所交易基金（ETF），這是一項開創性的舉措，為香港成為承認加密貨幣為合法投資工具的亞洲先驅打開了大門。這項重大發展預計將吸引大量投資，並使香港成為全球虛擬資產中心。

At least three asset managers based in China have expressed their intentions to launch these virtual asset spot ETFs in the near future. Harvest Fund Management and Bosera Asset Management, both headquartered in Hong Kong, have officially announced that they have received conditional approvals from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to proceed with the ETF launches.

至少有三家中國資產管理公司已表示有意在不久的將來推出這些虛擬資產現貨ETF。總部位於香港的嘉實基金管理公司和博時資產管理公司已正式宣布，他們已獲得香港證券及期貨事務監察委員會（證監會）的有條件批准，可著手推出 ETF。

The SFC has refrained from providing specific details regarding the virtual asset spot ETFs. The approval comes just three months after the United States introduced its inaugural ETFs to monitor spot bitcoin prices. These ETFs have already witnessed a notable influx of investments, amassing approximately $12 billion in net inflows.

證監會並未提供有關虛擬資產現貨 ETF 的具體細節。就在三個月前，美國推出了首個 ETF 來監控比特幣現貨價格。這些 ETF 已經見證了大量投資的湧入，淨流入額約為 120 億美元。

While China continues to prohibit cryptocurrencies within its borders, Hong Kong has actively promoted itself as a global center for digital assets, aiming to consolidate its position as a prominent financial hub.

儘管中國繼續禁止境內使用加密貨幣，但香港卻積極宣傳自己作為全球數位資產中心的地位，旨在鞏固其作為重要金融中心的地位。

"The introduction of the virtual asset spot ETFs not only provides investors with new opportunities for asset allocation but also underscores Hong Kong's standing as an international financial center and a hub for virtual assets," declared Bosera Asset Management (International) in a prepared statement. Bosera intends to collaborate with Hong Kong-based HashKey Capital in bringing its product to market.

博時資產管理（國際）在一份準備好的聲明中表示：「虛擬資產現貨ETF的推出不僅為投資者提供了新的資產配置機會，也凸顯了香港作為國際金融中心和虛擬資產樞紐的地位。 」 Bosera 打算與香港 HashKey Capital 合作，將產品推向市場。

Virtual asset spot ETFs in Hong Kong will implement an "in-kind" subscription mechanism, enabling investors to purchase ETF shares directly using bitcoin or ether, according to Bosera. In recent years, Chinese financial institutions, confronted with the challenges of the volatile Chinese equity market, have eagerly sought to participate in the development of crypto assets in Hong Kong.

Bosera表示，香港的虛擬資產現貨ETF將實施「實體」認購機制，投資者可以直接使用比特幣或以太幣購買ETF份額。近年來，面對中國股市波動的挑戰，中國金融機構紛紛尋求參與香港加密資產的發展。

Harvest Global Investments CEO Han Tongli expressed optimism that the conditional approval would further Harvest Global's commitment to fostering innovation within the industry and catering to the diverse needs of investors.

嘉實環球投資執行長韓同立樂觀地表示，有條件批准將進一步推動嘉實環球致力於促進行業創新、滿足投資者多樣化需求。

Bitcoin has surged by over 50% in 2022, reaching an all-time high of $73,803 in March. On Monday, it traded at approximately $66,000.

比特幣在 2022 年飆升了 50% 以上，並在 3 月達到了 73,803 美元的歷史新高。週一，其交易價格約為 66,000 美元。

This landmark decision by Hong Kong is expected to have far-reaching implications for the global cryptocurrency market. The city's embrace of cryptocurrencies as a mainstream investment option is likely to encourage other jurisdictions to reconsider their stance on digital assets. As a result, Hong Kong could potentially emerge as a leading destination for cryptocurrency-related investments, research, and innovation.

香港這項具有里程碑意義的決定預計將對全球加密貨幣市場產生深遠影響。該市將加密貨幣作為主流投資選擇可能會鼓勵其他司法管轄區重新考慮其對數位資產的立場。因此，香港有可能成為加密貨幣相關投資、研究和創新的領先目的地。
