Hong Kong’s first
bitcoin inverse investment product, which offers returns based on declines in the price of the world’s largest cryptocurrency token, debuts on the city’s stock exchange on Tuesday, as the Asian financial hub continues to expand its virtual asset product offerings to draw investors.
The exchange’s move to list CSOP Asset Management’s new Bitcoin Futures Daily Inverse Product, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, reflects the city’s ongoing efforts to diversify its offerings of cryptocurrency-related financial products and to become a centre for such business.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) announced approval of the product in a statement last week.
