According to Odaily, the Hong Kong Investor and Financial Education Committee has issued a statement regarding the trading of virtual asset spot ETFs listed in Hong Kong. These ETFs are regulated by the Securities and Futures Commission, and investors can buy and sell them through securities firms or banks, just as they would with stocks or other ETFs. However, the committee has emphasized the need for investors to understand the risk level of virtual asset spot ETFs to determine if they are suitable for their investment portfolio.
The committee has warned that virtual asset spot ETFs are highly volatile and may not necessarily provide the desired effect of risk diversification. Therefore, they should be considered as supplementary investments within an investment portfolio. The committee's statement serves as a reminder for investors to exercise caution and conduct thorough research before investing in such volatile assets.
