Growth of the ETP Market in Hong Kong
Hong Kong's financial system is showing significant growth through the integration of digital assets into its ETP market. As of May 2025, there are over 210 ETPs listed with total assets nearing 510 billion yuan, reflecting a 30% growth since 2020. Average daily trading volumes have quintupled in the last five years. These changes help create more flexible investment products for traders.
Regulatory Support for Investments
The inclusion of digital assets in ETPs is a response to changes in the global market and provides additional opportunities for risk management. The first batch of leveraged and inverse products was launched in March 2025, attracting further interest from investors. According to Paul Chan, "The ETPs currently listed in Hong Kong are anchored in a variety of assets including stocks, fixed-income products, commodities, currencies, and digital assets."
Prospects for Digital Assets
Hong Kong continues to move towards deeper integration of digital assets into financial products. Research from Coincu indicates that, amidst stable growth in Bitcoin and active trading processes, such changes may likely attract institutional investments and foster broader financial inclusion.
The integration of digital assets into the ETP market in Hong Kong signifies an important step towards financial innovation. The increase in trading volumes and new products raises interest from both institutional and retail investors.
