Hong Kong's Emerging Role in the Global Crypto ETF Market

As the crypto market continues to evolve, Hong Kong is positioning itself as a significant player.

Following the U.S.'s lead, the city is preparing to launch several cryptocurrency ETFs, including those for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ether (CRYPTO: ETH), Bloomberg reported.
