中国股票基金寻求香港批准现货比特币 ETF

据报道，在加密货币价格飙升和香港努力成为全球金融科技中心的背景下，中国大陆的股票基金已申请通过其香港子公司推出现货比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）。嘉实基金管理公司香港分公司自 1 月份以来一直在等待证券及期货事务监察委员会 (SFC) 的批准，此前曾于 2022 年 12 月推出期货加密 ETF。

中国股票基金香港子公司提交现货比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）申请

Amidst a surge in cryptocurrency prices and Hong Kong's aspirations to become a global fintech hub, Chinese mainland-based equity funds have reportedly filed applications to introduce novel spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) through their subsidiaries in Hong Kong.

据报道，在加密货币价格飙升和香港渴望成为全球金融科技中心的背景下，中国大陆的股票基金已提交申请，通过其香港子公司推出新型现货比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）。

This development follows the approval of futures-based crypto ETFs by the Securities & Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong in October 2022, marking a significant milestone for the digital asset industry in Asia. Notably, Harvest Fund Management's Hong Kong branch has been actively pursuing approval for spot Bitcoin ETFs since January.

此前，香港证券及期货事务监察委员会（证监会）于 2022 年 10 月批准了基于期货的加密货币 ETF，这标志着亚洲数字资产行业的一个重要里程碑。值得注意的是，自一月份以来，嘉实基金管理公司香港分公司一直在积极寻求现货比特币 ETF 的批准。

In a recent report by Securities Times, a Chinese state-owned newspaper, it was revealed that several Chinese equity funds have submitted applications to launch spot Bitcoin ETFs. However, the identities of all the applicants have not been disclosed publicly.

中国国有报纸《证券时报》最近报道称，多家中国股票基金已提交推出现货比特币ETF的申请。不过，所有申请人的身份尚未公开。

This surge in interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs underscores the growing recognition of Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class among institutional investors. The increasing adoption and regulatory clarity surrounding cryptocurrencies have played a significant role in bolstering institutional confidence.

人们对现货比特币 ETF 的兴趣激增，凸显了机构投资者日益认识到比特币是一种合法资产类别。加密货币的日益普及和监管的明确性在增强机构信心方面发挥了重要作用。

Furthermore, China Asset Management's Hong Kong division, one of China's largest asset management companies, has reportedly forged a strategic partnership with Hong Kong-based licensed crypto exchange HashKey. This partnership aims to promote and advance initiatives related to Web 3.0 within the asset management industry in Hong Kong.

此外，据报道，中国最大的资产管理公司之一华夏基金香港分部已与香港持牌加密货币交易所 HashKey 建立战略合作伙伴关系。此次合作旨在促进和推进香港资产管理行业内与 Web 3.0 相关的举措。

Industry experts speculate that the earliest approvals for spot Bitcoin ETFs in Asia could be granted as early as this quarter. However, a definitive timeline has yet to be announced by regulatory authorities.

行业专家推测，亚洲现货比特币 ETF 最早可能会在本季度获得批准。不过，监管机构尚未公布明确的时间表。

Hong Kong's commitment to fostering a conducive environment for the crypto sector has been evident in recent months. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the SFC have expressed their readiness to consider applications for spot crypto ETFs. Additionally, the city plans to introduce regulatory oversight for over-the-counter (OTC) trading of virtual assets and enable intermediary institutions to offer various virtual asset services, including futures and ETF trading.

近几个月来，香港致力于为加密货币行业营造有利​​的环境，这一承诺显而易见。香港金融管理局和证监会已表示准备考虑现货加密货币 ETF 的申请。此外，该市计划对虚拟资产场外交易（OTC）进行监管，并允许中介机构提供包括期货和ETF交易在内的各种虚拟资产服务。

These initiatives demonstrate Hong Kong's proactive stance in embracing and regulating the burgeoning virtual asset sector. By creating a robust and compliant framework, Hong Kong aims to position itself as a leading global crypto hub, attracting both domestic and international investors and businesses.

这些举措体现了香港在拥抱和监管蓬勃发展的虚拟资产行业方面的积极立场。通过创建一个强大且合规的框架，香港旨在将自己定位为全球领先的加密货币中心，吸引国内外投资者和企业。

The surging value of Bitcoin, which recently reached a high of over $73,000, has also contributed to the increasing demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs. The CSOP Bitcoin Futures ETF, Hong Kong's largest Bitcoin futures ETF, has experienced a five-fold increase in assets under management over the past five months, exceeding $100 million.

比特币价值的飙升最近达到了 73,000 美元以上的高位，也导致了对现货比特币 ETF 的需求不断增加。香港最大的比特币期货ETF——南方东英比特币期货ETF，过去五个月管理资产增长了五倍，超过1亿美元。

The introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs in Hong Kong not only provides investors with an accessible and regulated avenue to gain exposure to Bitcoin but also further legitimizes the cryptocurrency as a viable investment asset. As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve and institutional adoption grows, the demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs is expected to continue to rise.

香港推出现货比特币 ETF 不仅为投资者提供了一个可访问且受监管的途径来获得比特币，还进一步使加密货币作为可行的投资资产合法化。随着监管框架的不断发展和机构采用的增长，对现货比特币 ETF 的需求预计将继续上升。
