Hong Kong to approve spot bitcoin, ether ETFs as soon as Monday: Bloomberg
Hong Kong regulators are expected to greenlight spot ETFs for both bitcoin and ether as early as Monday, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
As part of the approval, a subsidiary of Chinese asset manager Harvest Fund Management Company is expected to clinch approval to operate as an issuer of a bitcoin and an ether fund. In addition, a partnership between Bosera Asset Management (International) Co. and HashKey Capital will likely receive approval to offer both types of spot ETFs. As The Block reported earlier Friday , HashKey's chief executive, Livio Weng, said that a spot ether ETF approval would be forthcoming if the issue of on-chain staking can be resolved.
The first batch of issuers will tentatively launch both types of spot ETFs at the end of April, according to Bloomberg.
The anticipated approvals come after the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission signaled it would clear the path to increasing institutional investors’ access to digital asset-based investments. Earlier this month, the SFC gave Harvest and China Asset Management clearance to manage cryptocurrency-based funds, according to Bloomberg.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": The Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates next week, but a single rate hike won't solve the problem
Nick Timiraos from "The New Federal Reserve News Agency" recently wrote that investors have largely concluded that the Federal Reserve will make its first interest rate hike in three years next week, but the harder question is what will happen afterward. Since almost no one inside the Fed believes that a single 25 basis point rate hike is enough to bring down inflation, a decision to raise rates next week would reflect the judgment that rates were previously set at the wrong level, and a single hike cannot solve the problem. Since the 1990s, the Fed has only had one "one-time" rate hike.
