香港资产管理公司放宽监管，关注比特币现货 ETF

嘉实基金和南方基金等中国资产管理公司的香港子公司正在该地区寻求比特币现货交易所交易基金（ETF）。在证券及期货事务监察委员会接受 ETF 申请的推动下，这些公司寻求利用投资者直接投资比特币的需求。由于中国大陆对加密货币活动的监管限制，香港为此类 ETF 产品提供了一个可行的平台。

Hong Kong Asset Managers Seek to Offer Bitcoin Spot Exchange-Traded Funds

香港资产管理公司寻求提供比特币现货交易所交易基金

Multiple subsidiaries of Chinese asset management companies based in Hong Kong have expressed interest in offering Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) within the administrative region.

总部位于香港的中国资产管理公司的多家子公司表示有兴趣在行政区域内提供比特币现货交易所交易基金（ETF）。

According to reports published on Monday by Chinese state newspaper Securities Times, Harvest Fund and Southern Fund, each managing assets surpassing $200 billion, have indicated their desire to launch such ETFs. The move is a response to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's (HKMA) and the Securities and Futures Commission's (SFC) decision to accept applications for crypto-based ETFs.

据中国官方报纸《证券时报》周一发布的报道，管理资产超过2000亿美元的嘉实基金和南方基金均表示希望推出此类ETF。此举是对香港金融管理局 (HKMA) 和证券及期货事务监察委员会 (SFC) 决定接受基于加密货币的 ETF 申请的回应。

Due to stringent regulations prohibiting cryptocurrency trading and mining in mainland China, asset managers there are unable to offer such ETFs. However, Hong Kong's more relaxed regulatory environment provides an opportunity for these companies to capitalize on the growing demand for Bitcoin spot ETFs.

由于中国大陆禁止加密货币交易和挖矿的严格法规，资产管理公司无法提供此类 ETF。然而，香港更加宽松的监管环境为这些公司提供了利用比特币现货 ETF 不断增长的需求的机会。

It is understood that Harvest Fund's Hong Kong subsidiary has already submitted an application for a Bitcoin spot ETF in January. Southern Fund, which currently offers Bitcoin futures ETFs and Ether futures ETFs in Hong Kong, is also reportedly exploring the possibility of launching a spot Bitcoin ETF.

据了解，嘉实基金香港子公司已于1月份提交了比特币现货ETF的申请。据报道，目前在香港提供比特币期货ETF和以太坊期货ETF的南方基金也在探索推出现货比特币ETF的可能性。

The introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs in Hong Kong is highly anticipated by crypto investors, who have been eagerly awaiting the availability of such products for months. If approved, these ETFs would provide investors with a convenient and regulated way to gain exposure to Bitcoin, the world's leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

香港推出现货比特币 ETF 受到加密货币投资者的高度期待，他们几个月来一直在热切等待此类产品的上市。如果获得批准，这些 ETF 将为投资者提供一种便捷且受监管的方式来投资比特币（按市值计算，比特币是全球领先的加密货币）。

In 2022, Harvest Fund Management's Hong Kong-based trading arm launched a crypto futures ETF, demonstrating its commitment to expanding its offerings in the digital asset space.

2022 年，嘉实基金管理公司位于香港的交易部门推出了加密货币期货 ETF，表明其致力于扩大数字资产领域产品的承诺。

The news of asset managers seeking to launch Bitcoin spot ETFs in Hong Kong highlights the growing demand for cryptocurrency in the region and the potential for Hong Kong to become a major hub for the cryptocurrency industry. The HKMA and the SFC's open stance towards crypto-based ETFs is seen as a significant step towards providing investors with a safe and reliable way to access this emerging asset class.

资产管理公司寻求在香港推出比特币现货 ETF 的消息凸显了该地区对加密货币不断增长的需求以及香港成为加密货币行业主要中心的潜力。香港金管局和证监会对基于加密货币的 ETF 持开放态度，这被视为向投资者提供安全可靠的方式投资这一新兴资产类别的重要一步。
