Hong Kong readying to legalize Bitcoin and crypto derivatives in push for Web3 leadership

June 6, 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Hong Kong is making significant strides in its efforts to legalize crypto derivatives, with senior officials signaling their support for the next phase of virtual asset reforms. The aim is to enable Bitcoin futures and options trading for professional investors, expanding product diversity while maintaining robust risk controls.

Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, highlighted that the introduction of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs has enhanced the product diversity of the Hong Kong market, solidifying its position as Asia’s leading ETF market. This proposal is part of a broader strategy to establish Hong Kong as a digital asset hub, alongside initiatives such as permitting staking services and offering tax incentives for crypto funds.

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) emphasized the importance of implementing stringent risk management measures to ensure that derivative trades are conducted in an orderly, transparent, and secure manner. Initially, the trading of derivatives will be limited to professional investors, defined as those with over HK$8 million (US$1 million) in investable assets.

This move complements Hong Kong’s ongoing efforts to build a regulated virtual asset ecosystem. Over the past 18 months, the city has achieved several milestones, including approving Asia’s first spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, setting a roadmap for exploring virtual asset derivative trading for professional investors, greenlighting staking services, passing a Stablecoin Bill, and finalizing a framework for crypto derivatives trading.

The SFC anticipates that approved derivative products will facilitate efficient risk transfers, enhance liquidity in spot markets, and offer experienced investors new hedging and leverage strategies. This development aligns with the global trend of attracting institutional crypto capital, as countries like Singapore and Dubai already permit regulated crypto futures.

Hong Kong’s derivatives pivot is driven by the need to compete with other jurisdictions and meet institutional demand for these financial instruments. With ten licensed virtual asset trading platforms (VATPs) operating in the city, the introduction of derivatives trading is expected to attract hedge funds and offshore desks.

In addition to derivatives trading, Hong Kong is also exploring how traditional finance and decentralized innovation can be integrated to support real-world economic activities. The government is preparing a second policy statement on virtual assets, which will include expanding tax concessions to recognize virtual asset transactions by funds, single-family offices, and private equity managers.

With a global crypto market cap exceeding $3 trillion and an annual trading volume surpassing $80 trillion, Hong Kong’s evolving regulatory framework aims to enhance the flexibility and security of its financial system while attracting fintech firms from around the world. The city’s embrace of crypto finance is part of its broader vision to build a Web3 future and establish itself as a leading player in the digital asset space.

If Hong Kong successfully implements a derivatives rulebook and licensing regime by the end of 2025, it will complete the trio of spot ETFs, stablecoins, and derivatives, providing global investors with the necessary tools to trade, hedge, and settle digital assets onshore. This strategic approach underscores Hong Kong’s commitment to shaping its own crypto narrative and embracing the future of finance, one licensed derivative at a time.
