CSOP’s new inverse Bitcoin ETF aims to profit from BTC price declines following their successful 2022 launch of the firm’s Bitcoin Futures ETF.
On July 23, Hong Kong will see the launch of Asia’s first Bitcoin futures inverse product, the CSOP Bitcoin Future Daily (-1x) Inverse Product (7376.HK).
The new exchange-traded fund (ETF) by CSOP Asset Management — one of the largest asset managers in China — aims to offer investors a method of profiting from declines in the price of Bitcoin BTC $67,394.
This development follows the successful launch of the CSOP Bitcoin Futures ETF (3066.HK) in December 2022, continuing the firm’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.
Product details
The CSOP Bitcoin Futures Daily (-1x) Inverse Product is designed to offer investment results that correspond closely to the inverse daily performance of the S&P Bitcoin Futures Index.
This inverse product achieves this through a futures-based replication strategy, which invests directly into spot-month Chicago Mercantile Exchange Bitcoin Futures.
According to a CSOP company post on July 22, the product is set to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) with a listing price of approximately 7.8 Hong Kong dollars per unit.
Hong Kong crypto ETFs
HKEX has been trading spot crypto ETFs since late 2022 after CSOP introduced its Bitcoin Futures ETF and Ether Futures ETF.
Both products track BTC futures and Ether ETH $3,493 futures cash-settled contracts traded on the CME and were followed by Samsung Asset Management Hong Kong’s Bitcoin future ETF in January 2023.
Between the three futures products, HKEX crypto ETFs had amassed 1.3 billion $HK worth $170 million in assets under management as of April 29.
HK SFC flags seven unregulated crypto exchanges
On July 5, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) issued alerts about seven crypto exchanges operating illegally in the region.
The SFC flagged the exchanges for facilitating services without operational licenses and placed them under the “Suspicious virtual asset trading platforms” on its alert list.
