Exciting News for Crypto Investors in Asia!
Get ready for some groundbreaking developments in the world of cryptocurrency investment coming your way. This year, Hong Kong is set to introduce the region’s very first Bitcoin futures inverse product, the CSOP Bitcoin Futures Daily (-1x) Inverse Product (7376.HK). Here’s everything you need to know about this innovative exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to capitalize on Bitcoin’s price fluctuations.
Asia’s First Bitcoin Futures Inverse Product
Prepare to witness history in the making as the CSOP Bitcoin Futures Daily (-1x) Inverse Product is all set to debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX). Priced initially at around 7.8 Hong Kong dollars (HKD) per unit, this ETF aims to track the inverse daily performance of the S&P Bitcoin Futures Index closely. Here’s how this pioneering product achieves its objectives:
– Utilizes a futures-based replication strategy
– Involves direct investments in spot-month Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)
Insights from the CEO
According to Ms. Ding Chen, the CEO of CSOP Asset Management, the company has always strived to offer a wide range of investment opportunities to investors across the APAC region. As the leading provider of Leveraged and Inverse products in Hong Kong with a market share of 99%, CSOP is committed to delivering innovative products. Ms. Chen highlighted the significance of introducing the first futures-based inverse Bitcoin product in Hong Kong, providing investors with the means to profit from Bitcoin’s price drops.
This significant launch comes in the wake of a tumultuous period for Bitcoin, which saw its value plummet below $54,000 in early July before bouncing back. Positive sentiments surrounding cryptocurrency, including those linked to the future political endeavors of former President Donald Trump, have contributed to this resurgence.
CSOP’s Strategic Expansion
The introduction of the CSOP Bitcoin Futures Daily (-1x) Inverse Product signifies yet another milestone in CSOP’s expansion efforts within the Asia-Pacific region. This move builds upon the successful rollout of the CSOP Bitcoin Futures ETF (3066.HK) in December 2022, one of the pioneering crypto-related ETFs in the region. Here’s a glimpse of the recent developments in the region:
– HKEX’s trading of spot crypto ETFs since late 2022
– Inclusion of CSOP’s Bitcoin Futures ETF and Ether Futures ETF
– Introduction of a Bitcoin futures ETF by Samsung Asset Management Hong Kong in January 2023
As of April 29, these ETFs have cumulatively amassed 1.3 billion HKD, equivalent to approximately $170 million, in assets under management. In a broader context, inverse crypto exchange-traded products have garnered significant investor interest globally, with total assets under management amounting to around $106 million.
Notably, the landscape in Hong Kong boasts a total of $362 million in assets held by six Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. In comparison, the spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in the U.S. have accumulated a staggering $60.7 billion in assets since their inception in January.
