Hong Kong Steps Into The Crypto ETF Arena

The news of BlackRock’s pause coincides with a significant development in the Asian market.

HashKey Exchange announced the completion of the first-ever cryptocurrency subscription for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETH/USD spot ETFs offered by Hong Kong-based Bosera International and HashKey Capital.

These ETFs are expected to begin trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on April 30, providing investors in the region with a new avenue for cryptocurrency exposure.
