The firm is the second licensed virtual asset manager in Hong Kong. In 2019, fund services provider Zedra entered into the digital assets space in partnership with digital custodian Vo1t.

Commenting on the development, Huobi Tech management said: “We are delighted that Huobi Asset Management team has secured such a breakthrough. The approval’s timing is perfect, coinciding with the mainstream institutional adoption of virtual assets starting from this year.

“We will continue to explore the possibility of diversifying our businesses in relevant areas to enhance our growth prospects and bring long-term sustainable returns to our shareholders.”
