Analysis of Potential Chinese Impact on Bitcoin Spot ETFs by Bloomberg Analyst

2 years ago


The Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong is planning to allow spot Bitcoin ETFs to have in-kind creation and redemptions during the second quarter of this year. This move comes as Harvest Global and Venture Smart Financial Holdings expressed interest in launching spot Bitcoin ETFs in the region. Although approvals are pending, Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst Rebecca Sin believes it is only a matter of time before these products are given the green light. Sin highlights that the SFC's approach of in-kind redemptions contrasts with the US, where cash-only refunds are prevalent for spot-based products. Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas predicts that this shift towards in-kind creation and buybacks in Hong Kong could attract more volume and assets under management in the area. In-kind redemptions are favored by both investors and issuers for its cost, tax, and liquidity benefits compared to cash redemptions, which result in higher taxes and trading expenses. This adjustment in redemption methods could potentially influence the growth of Bitcoin ETFs in the region.
