According to BlockBeats, on September 9, David Lawant, Head of Research at digital asset broker FalconX, stated that it is common for Hong Kong ETFs to experience a slowdown in fund inflows after their launch, followed by steady growth over time, especially during periods of low market volatility. This trend has become particularly evident in recent months.
Currently, the asset management scale of Hong Kong Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs stands at $290.6 million, significantly lower than their U.S. counterparts, which are nearly $57 billion. On some trading days, these six funds have even seen no net inflows.
However, Lawant believes that the prediction for Hong Kong ETFs to reach an asset scale of $1 billion by the end of this year is still possible. He added, "Achieving this goal by the end of 2025 might be more realistic. However, given the fast-paced nature of cryptocurrencies, I would not completely rule out the possibility." Lawant also mentioned, "Compared to what we see in other countries or regions, this number may seem small. But considering the size of the Asian market and its importance to the entire crypto ecosystem, I believe it has the potential to go higher."
