Hong Kong launched six virtual asset spot ETFs on April 30, initially attracting significant interest with a combined issuance scale of $248 million.
However, the subsequent market performance of these ETFs has been less than optimistic, with total assets under management reaching approximately HKD 2 billion (around USD 264 million), compared to the US market's $51.4 billion in assets under management for spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Market activity for Hong Kong's ETFs has shown signs of decline, with daily trading volumes fluctuating downward and net outflows experienced by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
The lack of staking support for the Ethereum ETF and challenges regarding fee structures in Hong Kong may be contributing factors to the underperformance of these ETFs.
