According to Farside UK, the China AMC Bitcoin ETF saw a huge outflow of $4.9 million on Monday. The other HK Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs had “zero” flows. Furthermore, compared to last week’s figures, the combined trading volume of the six Hong Kong cryptocurrency ETFs was a mere $7.72 million.
On the other hand, Hong Kong ETFs for ETH and BTC had a fantastic debut last week. Hong Kong’s newly launched Spot Bitcoin ETFs have rippled, taking in a remarkable $260.9 million in assets under management (AUM) within its maiden week. Furthermore, the entire AUM of cryptocurrency ETFs exceeded $311 million.
With an impressive $127.1 million, China AMC emerged as the race’s leader. With an AUM of $69.5 million, Harvest Global Investment lagged behind the institution. Moreover, Bosera International and HashKey Capital left their mark as well, accumulating a combined $64.3 million AUM through their ETFs.
However, the Ethereum ETF’s AUM was significantly lower compared to its BTC equivalent. According to the latest reports, the Hong Kong Spot Ethereum ETFs attracted an AUM of $50.6 million in the first week of trading. Furthermore, it’s important to highlight that the Hong Kong ETFs accumulated almost 4,200 BTC just a few days after their inception, even in the face of recent withdrawals.
