香港資產管理公司放寬監管，關注比特幣現貨 ETF

嘉實基金和南方基金等中國資產管理公司的香港子公司正在該地區尋求比特幣現貨交易所交易基金（ETF）。在證券及期貨事務監察委員會接受 ETF 申請的推動下，這些公司尋求利用投資者直接投資比特幣的需求。由於中國大陸對加密貨幣活動的監管限制，香港為此類 ETF 產品提供了一個可行的平台。

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

香港資產管理公司尋求提供比特幣現貨交易所交易基金

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.

總部位於香港的中國資產管理公司的多家子公司表示有興趣在行政區域內提供比特幣現貨交易所交易基金（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.

根據中國官方報紙《證券時報》週一發布的報道，管理資產超過2,000億美元的嘉實基金和南方基金都表示希望推出此類ETF。此舉是對香港金融管理局 (HKMA) 和證券及期貨事務監察委員會 (SFC) 決定接受基於加密貨幣的 ETF 申請的回應。

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.

由於中國大陸禁止加密貨幣交易和挖礦的嚴格法規，資產管理公司無法提供此類 ETF。然而，香港更寬鬆的監管環境為這些公司提供了利用比特幣現貨 ETF 不斷增長的需求的機會。

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.

據了解，嘉實基金香港子公司已於1月提交了比特幣現貨ETF的申請。據報道，目前在香港提供比特幣期貨ETF和以太坊期貨ETF的南方基金也正在探索推出現貨比特幣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.

香港推出現貨比特幣 ETF 受到加密貨幣投資者的高度期待，他們幾個月來一直在熱切等待此類產品的上市。如果獲得批准，這些 ETF 將為投資者提供一種便捷且受監管的方式來投資比特幣（按市值計算，比特幣是全球領先的加密貨幣）。

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，嘉實基金管理公司位於香港的交易部門推出了加密貨幣期貨 ETF，表明其致力於擴大數位資產領域產品的承諾。

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.

資產管理公司尋求在香港推出比特幣現貨 ETF 的消息凸顯了該地區對加密貨幣不斷增長的需求以及香港成為加密貨幣行業主要中心的潛力。香港金管局和證監會對基於加密貨幣的 ETF 持開放態度，這被視為向投資者提供安全可靠的方式投資這一新興資產類別的重要一步。
