The ETFs provide exposure to Bitcoin prices without directly owning Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>While volumes have been slower than U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, assets under management have steadily climbed. This suggests a growing institutional appetite for regulated Bitcoin products in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The ChinaAMC Bitcoin ETF is the largest of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.xyz\/assets\/etf\/hk-btc-spot\">Hong Kong Bitcoin ETFs<\/a>, with over $142 million in net assets. Bosera Hashkey&#8217;s Bitcoin ETF comes next with around $99 million in holdings, followed by Harvest Bitcoin ETF with $31 million. Together, the total Bitcoin holdings across the three Hong Kong ETFs stand at approximately 4,450 BTC, worth $272 million at current prices.<\/p>\n<p>Industry observers believe innovations like the ETFs&#8217; redemption method could attract more capital over time. The Hong Kong products allow for in-kind redemptions using actual Bitcoin, unlike cash-only U.S. ETFs.<\/p>\n<p>The growth indicates increasing Bitcoin adoption by institutional investors in Asia. If interest in Hong Kong&#8217;s spot Bitcoin ETFs continues at the current pace, they could emerge as a significant regional pool of Bitcoin demand.<\/p>\n<p>Other Asian countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea, are also in the pipeline to launch <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/tags\/spot-etf\">spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a>. This could further integrate Bitcoin within mainstream finance across the continent.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The three spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in Hong Kong have surpassed HK$2 billion (around $272 million) in assets under management since launching earlier this year.
