HSBC, the largest bank in Hong Kong, announced today that its customers can now buy and sell virtual asset ETFs listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, making it the first bank in Hong Kong to offer such services. This move will expand the exposure of local users in Hong Kong to cryptocurrencies. Currently, the Hong Kong-listed cryptocurrency ETFs include CSOP Bitcoin Futures ETF, CSOP Ethereum Futures ETF, and Samsung Bitcoin Futures Active ETF.
At the same time, HSBC has launched a Virtual Asset Investor Education Center. Before investing in any virtual asset-related products through the HSBC Easy Invest app, HSBC Mobile Banking app, or online banking, customers are required to read and confirm the educational materials and risk disclosures provided in the Virtual Asset Investor Education Center.
