香港为比特币、以太坊 ETF 开绿灯，彰显加密货币合法性

香港有条件批准了首个现货比特币和以太币交易所交易基金（ETF），这可能使其成为第一个接受加密货币作为主流投资的亚洲城市。嘉实基金管理公司和博时基金管理公司等三家离岸中国资产管理公司已获得香港证券及期货事务监察委员会（证监会）有条件批准推出虚拟资产现货ETF。此举是继最近在美国推出现货比特币ETF之后做出的，也是香港努力将自己打造成全球数字资产中心的一部分。

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

香港为加密货币 ETF 开绿灯，为虚拟资产采用铺平道路

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.

香港有条件批准推出首个现货比特币和以太币交易所交易基金（ETF），这是一项开创性的举措，为香港成为承认加密货币为合法投资工具的亚洲先驱打开了大门。这一重大发展预计将吸引大量投资，并使香港成为全球虚拟资产中心。

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.

至少三家中国资产管理公司已表示有意在不久的将来推出这些虚拟资产现货ETF。总部位于香港的嘉实基金管理公司和博时资产管理公司已正式宣布，他们已获得香港证券及期货事务监察委员会（证监会）的有条件批准，可着手推出 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.

证监会没有提供有关虚拟资产现货 ETF 的具体细节。就在三个月前，美国推出了首个 ETF 来监控比特币现货价格。这些 ETF 已经见证了大量投资的涌入，净流入额约为 120 亿美元。

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.

尽管中国继续禁止境内使用加密货币，但香港却积极宣传自己作为全球数字资产中心的地位，旨在巩固其作为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.

博时资产管理（国际）在一份准备好的声明中表示：“虚拟资产现货ETF的推出不仅为投资者提供了新的资产配置机会，也凸显了香港作为国际金融中心和虚拟资产枢纽的地位。” Bosera 打算与香港 HashKey Capital 合作，将其产品推向市场。

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，香港的虚拟资产现货ETF将实行“实物”认购机制，投资者可以直接使用比特币或以太币购买ETF份额。近年来，面对中国股市波动的挑战，中国金融机构纷纷寻求参与香港加密资产的发展。

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.

嘉实环球投资首席执行官韩同立乐观地表示，有条件批准将进一步推动嘉实环球致力于促进行业创新、满足投资者多样化需求。

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.

比特币在 2022 年飙升了 50% 以上，并在 3 月份达到了 73,803 美元的历史新高。周一，其交易价格约为 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.

香港这一具有里程碑意义的决定预计将对全球加密货币市场产生深远影响。该市将加密货币作为主流投资选择可能会鼓励其他司法管辖区重新考虑其对数字资产的立场。因此，香港有可能成为加密货币相关投资、研究和创新的领先目的地。
