Hong Kong to approve spot bitcoin, ether ETFs as soon as Monday: Bloomberg
Hong Kong regulators are expected to greenlight spot ETFs for both bitcoin and ether as early as Monday, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
As part of the approval, a subsidiary of Chinese asset manager Harvest Fund Management Company is expected to clinch approval to operate as an issuer of a bitcoin and an ether fund. In addition, a partnership between Bosera Asset Management (International) Co. and HashKey Capital will likely receive approval to offer both types of spot ETFs. As The Block reported earlier Friday , HashKey's chief executive, Livio Weng, said that a spot ether ETF approval would be forthcoming if the issue of on-chain staking can be resolved.
The first batch of issuers will tentatively launch both types of spot ETFs at the end of April, according to Bloomberg.
The anticipated approvals come after the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission signaled it would clear the path to increasing institutional investors’ access to digital asset-based investments. Earlier this month, the SFC gave Harvest and China Asset Management clearance to manage cryptocurrency-based funds, according to Bloomberg.

Krugman: What Walsh "didn't say" is more important than what he "said"
"We have a normal Federal Reserve Chair." Krugman believes that Waller did not signal a rate cut, did not mention balance sheet reduction, and abandoned alternative inflation metrics, demonstrating a traditionally hawkish stance unresponsive to political pressure. The biggest contradiction lies in the fact that while Waller emphasizes short-term interest rates as the core tool and opposes unconventional policies, at the same time, the Treasury's Besant is advancing a long-term bond purchase plan, which in essence is quantitative easing.
