On 10 January 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a groundbreaking move, for the first time approved 11 Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) that invest directly in Bitcoin.

Market proponents believe such a move might be an inflection point to bring the relatively nascent digital assets industry closer to main street, after various high-profile scandals that had impacted the industry in recent years.

The Wealth & InvestTech Committee and Web3 & Blockchain Committee of the Fintech Association of Hong Kong (FTAHK) are co-hosting an upcoming event to explore the implications of this milestone breakthrough.

Join us as we bring together leading experts to discuss the future of Bitcoin, digital assets and what it means for investors going forward, and also Hong Kong's ambition to become a leading digital assets hub.
