Hong Kong - April 30, 2024 - Bosera Funds (International) Co., Ltd. ("Bosera International") and HashKey Capital Limited announced that Bosera HashKey Bitcoin ETF and Bosera HashKey Ethereum ETF were officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), with Bosera International as the fund manager and HashKey Capital Limited as the deputy fund manager. It is reported that these will be the first batch of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs in Asia, and they will be successfully listed on HKEX with the stock codes of BTC: 3008.HK (HKD); 9008.HK (USD) and ETH: 3009.HK (HKD); 9009.HK (USD).
The highlight of the two ETFs is the introduction of the world's first "coin holding" subscription and redemption mechanism, which allows investors to directly use Bitcoin and Ethereum to subscribe for ETF shares. Investors can directly subscribe to ETF shares with Bitcoin and Ethereum, and support cash redemption. At the same time, cash subscription of ETF shares also supports Bitcoin and Ethereum redemption. This innovative coin holding subscription and redemption mechanism helps investors realize the two-way circulation of virtual assets and traditional assets.
In addition, the two ETFs track the CME CF Bitcoin Asia Pacific Reference Rate and the CME CF Ethereum US Dollar Asia Pacific Reference Rate respectively.
"The launch of the Bosera HashKey Bitcoin ETF and Bosera HashKey Ethereum ETF marks that cryptocurrencies are gradually moving towards the mainstream," said Deng Chao, CEO of HashKey Capital. "These innovative ETFs not only provide investors with a convenient investment channel, but also echo our commitment to promoting innovation in the virtual asset ecosystem."
It is worth emphasizing that if Hong Kong's regulatory requirements are met (such as CDD/KYC requirements), non-Hong Kong people can also easily purchase Bosera HashKey Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs.
Bosera HashKey Bitcoin ETF and Bosera HashKey Ethereum ETF are now listed and traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
