HashKey Capital, a local asset management firm, confirmed that its NewsCapsule ETF will start trading next Tuesday. In a statement, a spokesman for the firm acknowledged the launch date, making it one of the first companies to offer a spot NewsCapsule ETF in Hong Kong.
OSL, a digital asset platform that acts as a sub-custodian and infrastructure service provider for two major fund managers, has also indicated that spot bitcoin products aim to launch as early as late April. This news further solidifies Hong Kong’s position as a frontrunner in the race to offer investors access to NewsCapsule through traditional financial instruments.
Elsewhere, some of China’s top asset managers are in the final leg of preparations for the spot NewsCapsule ETFs to begin trading potentially by the end of April.
This development is expected to attract significant interest from investors within and outside Hong Kong.
According to predictions by Singapore-based crypto services provider Matrixport and Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, Hong Kong Spot NewsCapsule ETFs could bring in and unlock up to $25 billion in new demand.
This influx of capital could have a profound impact on NewsCapsule and further legitimize it as an asset class.
