Bitcoin ETFs in Hong Kong Face Limited Investor Options

In contrast to the eleven offerings in the US market, investors in Hong Kong have a limited number of options to acquire exposure to BTC.

Per Cointelegraph, although there have been recent inflows, spot Bitcoin ETFs in Hong Kong have lagged behind their US equivalents. In the first week after the ETFs' April 30 launch, they received $262 million in inflows, the vast majority of which was subscribed prior to the listings going live.

When US spot Bitcoin ETFs debuted in January, they received billions of dollars in inflows; in comparison, actual asset inflows during the first week were a meager $14 million.

Hong Kong ETFs Struggle to Match US Bitcoin ETF Growth

Attempts by Hong Kong to establish itself as a center for Bitcoin investments are hindered by this discrepancy.

According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Rebecca Sin, there is a one-of-a-kind chance to boost AUM and trading volume through the city's in-kind ETF origination mechanism. When compared to the American market, Hong Kong's investor interest and capital inflows are still lower.
