According to Boshi International, they are “very pleased to join forces with HashKey to jointly open up a new chapter in Hong Kong’s virtual asset market.” They see the approval of these ETFs as not only expanding investors’ asset allocation options but also solidifying Hong Kong’s stature as “an international financial center and virtual asset hub.”

HashKey Capital echoed this sentiment. They stated that the approval of virtual asset spot ETFs “has built a bridge for traditional institutions to allocate virtual assets.” Thus, broadening access for mainstream and retail investors alike. In addition, the latest approval marks a major milestone as Hong Kong solidified its position by approving the first-ever Ethereum ETF.

Furthermore, both companies emphasize the significance of the currency-holding subscription mechanism, with Boshi International stating that it “allows investors to directly use Bitcoin and Ethereum to subscribe for corresponding ETF shares.” It’ll enhance convenience and accessibility for investors.
