Hong Kong Debuts First $1 Billion ETF Liquidity Fund

• Hong Kong launches a $1 billion HKD ETF liquidity fund.
• Aims to improve liquidity and stability in the city’s ETF market.
• Partnership is in place to increase investor confidence and market growth.

Hong Kong has taken a major step towards solidifying its position as a digital asset hub with the launch of its first-ever ETF liquidity fund. The $1 billion HKD (approximately $128 million USD) fund, established by LD Capital, Antalpha Ventures and Highblock aims to increase liquidity and stability within the city’s burgeoning ETF market.

This initiative comes alongside the recent approval of six Hong Kong-listed ETFs by the Securities and Futures Commission. These ETFs were launched on April 30th and include Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs from ChinaAMC, Harvest Global and Bosera International. Reportedly the debut day trading volume reached nearly $100 million HKD.

The newly established liquidity fund will provide market-making services for these ETFs. This essentially means the fund will act as a buyer and seller, ensuring there are always interested parties on both sides of a trade. This promotes seamless transactions and reduces price volatility caused by sudden influxes or withdrawals of investment.

LD Capital, which is a prominent digital asset fund offers blockchain investment experience. Antalpha Ventures, affiliated with leading digital asset mining hardware manufacturer Bitmain, adds deep industry knowledge. Additionally, Highblock Limited with its experience in quantitative trading and licensing for digital asset operations in Hong Kong provides a good expertise in trading capabilities.

This strategic move is expected to increase investor confidence in Hong Kong’s ETF market. And, by mitigating liquidity risks and promoting market stability the fund paves the way for further growth and development within the city’s digital asset ecosystem.
