Hong Kong Bitcoin & Ether ETFs See $11M Volume on First Day

The Hong Kong Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have seen $11 million in volume on what was their first trading day according to data from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Indeed, the six inaugural offerings for the Chinese regions officially debuted early Tuesday. Of the product’s issuers, ChinaAMC led all Spot Bitcoin ETFs with $4.75 million.

Comparatively, the United States Spot Bitcoin ETF approval saw $4.6 billion in volume on its first day of trading. However, those circumstances are very different in terms of who has access to the trading of the investment products. Still, it remains a landmark moment for the digital asset market overall.

Hong Kong Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF First Trading Day Sees $11 Million Volume

Throughout this year, the digital asset industry has seen increased interest in crypto ETFs. That was driven by the product’s approval in the United States. The Newborn Nine, as they have been called, have proven tremendously successful.

Moreover, they have proven important to the value of Bitcoin overall. In March of this year, Bitcoin reached an all-time mark of $73,000. Now, Hong Kong has seen its recently approved Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs record $11 million on its first trading day.

Overall, there were six Bitcoin and Ether ETFs that saw a debut take place early Tuesday. Those arriving investment offerings were managed by China Asset Management, Harvest Global, Bosera, and HashKey. Among them, ChinaAMC was proven to be the most successful, with the ETF gaining 1.53% at the close.

The outcome is rather underwhelming when compared to the United States volume on its first trading day. However, there is still the reality that mainland China’s investors do not have access to the investment offerings. Still, the arrival of Hong Kong’s offering is a massive development for the industry as a whole.

Ethereum (ETH) price is aiming for $1,800 in February — Here is why

ETH price is finding support at $1,560 and multiple data points are beginning to hint at a possible rally to $1,800 before the end of February. Ether (ETH) has been struggling with the $1,680 resistance since Jan. 20. Still, the ascending triangle pattern and improvements in investor sentiment in ETH derivatives provides hope that Ether price could reach $1,800 or higher by the end of February. This, of course, depends on how the Ether price behaves as it reaches the pattern deadline by mid-February.  Ether/USD price index, 12-hour. Source: TradingView From one side, traders are relieved that Ether is trading up 33% year-to-date, but the repeated failures to break the $1,680 resistance coupled with negative newsflow might give bears the power to cancel the bullish triangle pattern. According to a Jan. 30 report from Axios, New York State's Department of Financial Services is reportedly investigating Cryptocurrency Exchange Gemini over claims that the firm made regarding assets in...
