Hong Kong SFC Approves Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, Aiming to Establish Crypto Hub

香港证监会批准比特币和以太币 ETF，旨在建立加密货币中心

Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has granted approval to Harvest Global and Bosera International to launch bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs), marking a significant move towards establishing Hong Kong as a regulated cryptocurrency hub.

香港证券及期货事务监察委员会（证监会）已批准嘉实环球和博时国际推出比特币和以太币交易所交易基金（ETF），标志着将香港打造为受监管的加密货币中心的重大举措。

Despite receiving the green light, Harvest Global and Bosera International have not yet launched these ETFs. The SFC could not be immediately reached for comment.

尽管获得批准，嘉实环球和博时国际尚未推出这些ETF。未能立即联系到证监会置评。

This development comes amidst a regulatory crackdown on cryptocurrency trading in mainland China, effectively banning the practice. However, Hong Kong has been strategically positioning itself as a competitive crypto hub, rivaling Dubai and Singapore.

这一进展正值中国大陆对加密货币交易进行监管打击，实际上禁止了这种做法。然而，香港一直在战略上将自己定位为具有竞争力的加密货币中心，可与迪拜和新加坡相媲美。

The approval of bitcoin and ether ETFs in Hong Kong aligns with the recent approval of spot bitcoin ETFs by U.S. securities regulators, which have witnessed substantial investor inflows.

香港批准比特币和以太坊 ETF 与美国证券监管机构最近批准现货比特币 ETF 一致，投资者大量流入。

Bitcoin ETFs provide investors with exposure to the price movements of the underlying asset without requiring them to directly own the cryptocurrency. Industry experts believe that ETFs will facilitate the entry of traditional investors into the crypto market.

比特币 ETF 为投资者提供了标的资产价格变动的风险敞口，而无需他们直接拥有加密货币。行业专家认为，ETF将促进传统投资者进入加密货币市场。

Notably, Hong Kong could become one of the first jurisdictions to approve an ether ETF. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has yet to approve an ether ETF, and asset managers have expressed skepticism about its likelihood in the near future.

值得注意的是，香港可能成为首批批准以太坊 ETF 的司法管辖区之一。美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 尚未批准以太 ETF，资产管理公司对其近期的可能性表示怀疑。

This approval represents a pivotal step in Hong Kong's trajectory towards establishing a regulated and attractive environment for cryptocurrency investment. It remains uncertain whether mainland Chinese investors will be permitted to participate in these ETFs, but the move demonstrates Hong Kong's commitment to attracting institutional and retail investors.

此次批准标志着香港在建立受监管且有吸引力的加密货币投资环境方面迈出了关键一步。目前尚不确定中国内地投资者是否会被允许参与这些ETF，但此举表明了香港致力于吸引机构和散户投资者的承诺。

It is anticipated that the launch of these ETFs will further enhance the liquidity and accessibility of cryptocurrencies in Hong Kong, potentially invigorating the city's financial ecosystem and solidifying its position as a regional crypto hub.

预计这些ETF的推出将进一步增强香港加密货币的流动性和可及性，有可能振兴香港的金融生态系统并巩固其作为区域加密货币中心的地位。
