1. Hong Kong Regulatory News This Week 1.1 Issuer: Rumors of Hong Kong ETF Being Included in Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect are Unfounded link The CEO of Harvestglobal, one of the issuers of Hong Kong’s inaugural virtual asset spot ETF, Mr. Han Tongli, has expressed consideration for enabling mainland investors to directly purchase their Bitcoin and Ether products through the ETF Connect program. Assuming all goes smoothly in the next two years, Jasset does not rule out applying to include their cryptocurrency ETF in the mutual market access scheme linking mainland China and Hong Kong exchanges. ETF Connect, launched in May 2022, allows mainland investors to access a selection of curated ETFs listed in Hong Kong and is part of the Stock Connect program. However, Hong Kong’s Bitcoin and Ethereum futures ETFs introduced in 2022 have not yet been included in Stock Connect. Richard Byworth, Managing Partner at SyzCapital and a Bitcoin investor, suggests that the Hong Kong Bitcoin spot ETF may potentially be included in the Stock Connect program, a component of the traditional southbound capital initiative for Chinese funds. Hong Kong ETF issuers affirm that rumors suggesting southbound funds could purchase Hong Kong Bitcoin ETFs are entirely false. Hong Kong’s ETF circular explicitly states the prohibition on selling virtual asset-related products to investors in mainland China. 1.2 The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is studying matters related to tokenized deposits in interbank settlement and clearing link Licensed individual Mr. Pang Baolin from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission revealed that the market is anticipating Hong Kong to promote interoperability in virtual asset trading and tokenization of physical assets (STO).
