Hong Kong’s First Approved Cryptocurrency Fund Targets $100M

 

Venture Smart Asia has announced the launch of the first approved cryptocurrency fund in Hong Kong, with the target of $100 million for the first year.

As Bloomberg states, the blockchain arm of Venture Smart Asia Arrano Capital stated the rollout of a new Bitcoin fund. As the venture capital firm states it had met the conditions for a licensed cryptocurrency fund by the local Securities & Futures Commission.

Avaneesh Acquilla who is the Arrano Chief Investment Officer, has noted that the 1st attempt is only a tracker fund, BTC purchasing & selling. Though, the fund is intended to pass $100 million within the 1st year. As Avaneesh Acquilla has stated that they have made a decision to release the fund due to the existing demand by professional investors who see Bitcoin as an alternative option to store money. As he said: “Ultimately for Bitcoin to be widely accepted and for people to trust it, there needs to be regulation.”
