Huang Yongxin, a partner at HashKey Capital, said that they are actively exploring the direction of Ether spot ETF and staking, hoping to bring more investment methods to retail and institutional investors and release capital liquidity. She also said that HashKey Capital will communicate with regulatory authorities about the feasibility of launching products in Hong Kong and will be prepared to provide the best product solutions. According to an industry insider, existing technology can already support staking, but the main issue is regulatory risk control, such as the risk and responsibility of staking interest preservation. Bloomberg previously reported that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission is considering allowing Ether spot ETF staking. After submitting a plan in the past few weeks, they have discussed with relevant ETF issuers about staking through licensed platforms, but there is no clear timetable yet. If the Ether ETF staking is approved, it may drive the demand for Hong Kong virtual currency ETFs and lead the progress ahead of the United States again.
