  • If a Hong Kong spot virtual asset ETF is sold at a premium, it can be converted into Hong Kong dollars on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange

    Currently only a few Hong Kong brokers with virtual asset retail licenses can subscribe to the Hong Kong Bitcoin ETF through the new share subscription method (PD/distributor), and after the ETF officially enters the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, all hundreds of Hong Kong brokers and banks can purchase it. The approved virtual asset ETF adopts the performance of the ChiNext CF Bitcoin Index (Asia-Pacific closing price), so the profit and loss risks of cash subscription for Bitcoin ETF are basically the same as those of directly buying Bitcoin. As the exchange ratio between Bitcoin and Bitcoin ETF is fixed, if physical subscription is used in the IOP stage, that is, Bitcoin is used to subscribe to Bitcoin ETF, the relevant ETF can be exchanged for Hong Kong dollars in the exchange if it is sold at a premium after listing, and then buy back Bitcoin at the same time to earn the price difference between on-exchange and off-exchange.
