The approval of spot Ethereum ETFs by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) carries significant implications for firms engaged in tokenizing assets that trade on-chain. Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, affirmed Ethereum's regulatory status as a commodity and stated that the approval is bullish for the asset tokenization premise on the Ethereum blockchain.

Domingo highlighted the importance of institutional safety in using Ethereum, as the approval eliminates concerns about Ethereum's native token, ETH, being classified as a security. He emphasized that Ethereum is now considered safe for institutional use, further bolstering its position as a reliable platform for asset tokenization.

This is beneficial to protocols specializing in tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), such as Ondo Finance. The project focuses on providing institutional-grade financial products and services, including tokens offering USD yield or exposure to US Treasuries. In 2022, Ondo Finance raised $20 million in a Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital and Peter Thiel's Founders Fund. Following the approval of spot Ethereum ETFs, ONDO experienced a significant surge in its governance token, ONDO, gaining 32.8% over the past week. It is currently trading at $1.23.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has long regarded tokenization as the next step from ETFS, envisioning reduced fees and instantaneous settlement facilitated by blockchain technology. BlackRock's strategic funding round of $47 million in tokenization firm Securitize further solidifies its commitment to the sector.

Metalpha Granted Virtual Assets Type 1 License

2024/04/15


Content:
HONG KONG, April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Metalpha Technology Holding Limited (NASDAQ: MATH) (the "Company" or "Metalpha"), a global digital asset-focused wealth management company, today announced that LSQ Capital Limited ("LSQ Capital"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in Hong Kong, has been granted an addition of Type 1 regulated activity to its existing license by the Securities and Futures Commission (the "SFC"), allowing it to provide securities and virtual assets dealing services. The new license offers the Company a unique advantage to continue leading the market as one of Asia's largest crypto derivatives traders.

Given the recent milestone in Hong Kong spot ETFs, Metalpha is expecting to launch a Hong Kong ETF-linked fund in the near term for qualified investors to meet the increasing market demand. The Company's GBTC-linked fund achieved approximately 330% in annualized return in the past 12 months. The Company is optimistic about Hong Kong's ambition to become a Web3 hub and is actively working on unique derivatives products and funds to better serve its global clients.

With the new license, the Company aims to expand new and innovative business offerings with a greater variety of traditional finance institutions for direct trading in securities. The granted Type 1 license enables the Company to offer professional investors a truly unique crypto experience with the Company's world's leading crypto trading services.

"We are grateful to be granted this license and it will undoubtedly help us expand business outreach and offerings. Focusing on compliance is a top priority of our business and we look forward to launching new ETF-related products in the near term to boost our product offerings," said Adrian Wang, President and Director of Metalpha Technology Holding Ltd.

Metalpha offers customized hedging solutions and crypto derivatives products to institutions. The Company is proud to be one of the largest crypto derivatives traders in Asia and works closely with financial institutions including family offices, investment funds, and crypto mining companies.

The Company is also a holder of uplifted Type 4 (advising on securities and tokens) & Type 9 (asset management) licenses by the SFC.

$MATH Hong Kong approved the applications of several spot bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds on Monday, as the region continues its drive to become a regional crypto hub.

China Asset Management, a major Chinese asset manager, said that its Hong Kong unit has received approval in principle from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission to offer retail asset management services related to spot crypto ETFs. It plans to issue spot bitcoin and ether ETFs in collaboration with OSL and BOCI International. OSL said it will act as the "first virtual asset trading and sub-custodian partner" of China Asset Management for the upcoming ETFs.

Harvest Global Investments’ two spot crypto ETFs have also received in-principle approval from the SFC, the firm said in a statement. It added that the two ETFs will be issued in collaboration with OSL, which could effectively address issues such as excessively high margin requirements. "In this collaboration, OSL leverages its robust infrastructure to provide a secure trading environment essential for the ETF's operation, managing the underlying assets with precision and reliability," OSL said in a statement.

Bosera Asset Management, a Hong Kong unit of a major Chinese asset manager, and HashKey Capital also told The Block on Monday that the regulator has given conditional approval for two spot crypto ETFs jointly managed by the pair. The pair did not immediately clarify what "conditional approval" entails.

Bosera and HashKey told The Block that the pair will work together to launch a spot bitcoin ETF, the Bosera HashKey Bitcoin ETF, and a spot ether ETF, the Bosera HashKey Ether ETF. The two ETFs are expected to allow investors to subscribe for ETF shares using bitcoin and ether directly. They did not disclose the timeline of the launch.

"The introduction of the Virtual Asset Spot ETFs not only provides investors with new asset allocation opportunities but also reinforces Hong Kong's status as an international financial center and a hub for virtual assets,” Bosera said in a statement.

Unlike its neighboring Chinese mainland’s broader crackdown on cryptocurrency trading and mining, Hong Kong has rolled out the welcome mat for crypto firms last year. In June 2023, Hong Kong officially started its crypto licensing regime for crypto trading platforms, allowing licensed exchanges to offer retail trading services. Hong Kong has granted licenses to two platforms — HashKey and OSL.

The SFC did not immediately respond to The Block's request for further comment.

Ether ETFs

Adrian Wang, chief executive officer of Asia-based digital asset management firm Metalpha, told The Block that the upcoming spot ether ETFs could gain much traction.

“I think ETH ETF could be more influential and important compared to that of bitcoin, as investors have options to gain bitcoin exposure with bitcoin-related stocks like mining companies, but there are no ETH-related stocks as of now,” said Wang.

"Hong Kong's approval of the spot Ether ETFs comes ahead of a US decision, and is a significant milestone in Hong Kong's journey to become a leading crypto hub," said Angela Ang, a former regulator at the Monetary Authority of Singapore and senior policy advisor at blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs. "With fewer alternatives for Ethereum exposure, we might see the Ether ETFs attract more investor interest."

(Updates: Added comments from Wang and Ang, as well as more details about the upcoming ETFs.)

Nextbigone Nextbigone 10 months ago
Metalpha Technology Holding Limited (Nasdaq: MATH), a frontrunner in the digital asset-based wealth management sector, has published its financial outcomes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

The company announced a notable increase in the notional amount of derivative products issued, reaching $382 million, up from $49 million the previous year, underlining a significant surge in its wealth management business, according to an announcement today.

Despite the financial hurdles, Metalpha showcased a remarkable fiscal-year income of $5.7 million from its wealth management operations, a substantial rise from just $0.1 million in FY 2022. This growth is attributed to the company's innovative approach in designing and issuing derivative products tailored for the cryptocurrency market, catering to the needs of institutions and professional investors.

However, the company faced financial challenges, reporting a total net loss of $20.4 million for the year. This loss was mainly due to expenses related to warrant issuance, share-based payments, and a one-off discontinued business, Metalpha said. Adjusting for these factors, the company's loss was approximately $0.7 million, indicating a near breakeven scenario.

Adrian Wang, president of Metalpha, expressed optimism about the company's future, citing strong demand for customized products and high customer satisfaction. "The fast growth of our wealth management business indicates the market’s confidence in our business approach," Wang stated. He also highlighted the company's commitment to compliance and innovation, aiming to expand its market share in Asia and beyond.

Founded in 2015 and going public in 2017, Metalpha has positioned itself as a leader in crypto wealth management services, offering a full-service, institutional-grade platform with dedicated blockchain expertise.

"At the company level, we aim to maintain a high growth rate and significantly lower expenses as our business scale expands. We will also continue to innovate and diversify our business offerings in a bid to expand our market share in Asia,” Wang said.

Metalpha holds a Type 4 and Type 9 license from the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. Earlier this year, the firm announced an investment in NextGen Digital Venture Limited to strengthen institutional access to digital assets. The two sides launched the Next Generation Fund I in April 2023, focusing on Grayscale Investments's suite of products.

$MATH made right bet on GBTC product as U.S. spot BTC ETFs go live today. After great anticipation and over 10 years and numerous rejections since the first spot BTC ETF application was filed on July 1, 2013, by the Winklevoss twins, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved 11 spot bitcoin exchange traded funds (ETFs) yesterday (1/10), which are to begin trading on major U.S. exchanges today (1/11), in what we view as a significant milestone in Bitcoin’s 15-year history. ARK/21Shares, Bitwise, BlackRock (BLK; not rated), Fidelity, Franklin (BEN; not rated), Grayscale, Hashdex, Invesco (IVZ; not rated), Valkyrie, VanEck, and WisdomTree all received the green light from the SEC to issue spot BTC ETFs. The issuers entered a bit of a pricing war leading up to the SEC’s approval yesterday and will be launching their respective products at very attractive fees, as we see it, which should help to drive initial inflows, especially for those that are offering fee wavers for the first six months. The average fee for the 11 ETFs is 46 bps, with pricing ranging from 20 bps (Bitwise) to 150 bps (Grayscale). While Grayscale’s product has the highest fee, it starts the race with a significant head start holding 3.16% of all BTC currently in circulation, which equates to $29.4B in AUM, in its Bitcoin trust - GBTC, which is to be up-listed to a spot BTC ETF today. BTC rose as much as 3% to ~$47,600 following the news.

Metalpha Invests in NextGen Digital Venture Limited, Strengthening Institutional Investor Access to Digital Assets
NEWS PROVIDED BY
Metalpha Technology Holding Limited
08 Jan, 2024, 11:00 CST
HONG KONG, Jan. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Metalpha Technology Holding Limited (Nasdaq: MATH) (the "Company" or "Metalpha"), a global crypto-based wealth management company, has invested in NextGen Digital Venture Limited ("NextGen"), strengthening the existing business partnership that provides institutional investors compliant investment channels for exposure to digital assets.

In April 2023, Metalpha joined forces with NextGen to launch Next Generation Fund I (the "NextGen Fund"), a structured investment channel focusing on Grayscale Investments LLC's suite of products. Since then, the fund has outperformed Bitcoin's annualized return by more than 35% as of Dec.31, 2023, and consequently gained wide recognition from investors in both traditional finance and digital assets space.

Metalpha provides bespoke hedging solutions and is one of Asia's largest crypto derivatives solutions providers. The Company works closely with traditional financial institutions including family offices, investment funds, and crypto mining companies. The investment comes at a time when the Company is optimistic about the future performance of the NextGen Fund, and the investment announced today will provide NextGen with additional management support.

"Working with the brilliant team at NextGen has been delightful. The launch of the NextGen Fund marked the first step by both sides to roll out compliant yet rewarding products together. We look forward to building a more robust partnership going forward," said Adrian Wang, President and Director of Metalpha Technology Holding Ltd.

"We extend our sincere gratitude to Metalpha for their pivotal partnership, which has been instrumental in meeting the sophisticated demands of institutional cryptocurrency wealth management. Leveraging Hong Kong Type 9 license, NextGen is committed to providing secure and compliant cryptocurrency investment opportunities, with a steadfast focus on achieving alpha returns," said Jason Huang, Founding Partner of NextGen Digital Venture Limited.

$MATH Crypto wealth manager Metalpha picks up stake in NextGen

Hong Kong-based crypto wealth management firm Metalpha Technology has invested in NextGen Digital Venture.

The investment strengthens an existing partnership that offers institutional investors compliant investment channels for exposure to digital assets.

The new investment enables Metalpha to provide NextGen Digital Venture with additional management support, said Metalpha in a statement on Monday.

The deal is built on an existing partnership between the two companies that saw them jointly launch the Next Generation Fund I, or the ‘NextGen Fund I’, in April 2023 to focus on the suite of products offered by the US digital currency asset manager Grayscale Investments. 

Metalpha, through its wholly-owned subsidiary LSQ Capital, serves as the sub-investment manager of NextGen Fund I and plays a key role in the fund operations and decision-making.

The move to invest in NextGen Digital Venture makes Metalpha a shareholder of the firm, Metalpha confirmed to DealStreetAsia in an email, but it declined to disclose the financial details of the investment.

NextGen Digital Venture, which offers crypto-related investment services to traditional investors, was founded in 2023 by Jason Huang, who previously held positions at Blue Pool Capital, the family office of Alibaba Group co-founder Joseph Tsai, as well as venture capital (VC) firms Joy Capital and Qiming Venture Partners.

The NextGen Fund I invests both directly and indirectly through structured derivatives into Grayscale’s investment products. The vehicle had a target of raising $100 million, Metalpha’s president Adrian Wang told DealStreetAsia in April 2023.

$MATH CEO commented

Digital asset licensing has opened up opportunities to create powerhouse Hong Kong-based crypto companies. At Metalpha, we recently obtained an uplift on our Type 4 license (advising on securities). This will enable us to expand our efforts in advisory and issuing analysis, and allow us to publish reports to qualified investors on digital assets. This is a milestone for us and it further shows SFC’s confidence in our business approach.

In fact, since the start of this year, we have observed strong demand from family offices and public companies asking how to invest in Bitcoin in a compliant way. Smart investors who see through the noise and beyond the negative headlines are being rewarded with clear opportunities to grow and benefit from crypto and Web3. I believe more companies will apply for licenses to attract investment, boost their business credibility, and pursue new opportunities as a result.

A recent story reported by the Financial Times shows that Hong Kong is projected to overtake Switzerland as the world’s leading cross-border wealth management as Asia spearheads the growth. This massive global wealth shift presents a great opportunity for investors eyeing digital assets. As regulations become clearer for the digital assets industry in the coming years, Hong Kong will stand out as a city that offers a balanced approach to innovation and risk assessment.

Looking forward to the new year, I am confident that Hong Kong will keep playing a key role in building the Web3 hub and enter further direct competition with Singapore, which had an early mover advantage in crypto. And this is a good thing. Investors should have more options to choose the best crypto projects or companies to work with. As for customers, it will boost confidence once they know their service provider is secure and compliant in the eyes of regulators.

$MATH stock is up 319% for 2023. Happy Investing to All. 2024 looks promising with BTC ETF approval and HK easing restrictions on crypto trades for retail.

Hong Kong's latest move to legalise retail crypto trade would also set Hong Kong further apart from mainland China, which has an imposed a blanket ban on cryptocurrency trade.

"This is a positive move as it sends out a strong message that Hong Kong is taking a different approach in regulating its capital market," said Adrian Wang, chief executive of crypto brokerage Metalpha.

Hong Kong's government has proposed allowing retail investors to trade in cryptocurrencies and crypto exchange-traded funds - a move it hopes will help it rebuild its fintech hub status.

The city, which previously proposed limiting crypto trade to professional investors, has seen planned rules for digital assets heavily criticised for stifling innovation, prompting a slew of start-ups to move to other markets such as Singapore and Dubai.

$MATH Adrian Wang, CEO of Asia-based digital asset management firm Metalpha, said that crypto investors were surprised by “just how fast Hong Kong is playing catchup to Singapore’s well-balanced regulatory regime.”

“It is true that Singapore had a headstart in designing and testing policies that are suitable for digital assets. For example, DBS conducted fixed-income trade on JP Morgan’s Onyx network as early as 2022,” Wang said. “However, since the Hong Kong Fintech Week last year, SFC gradually rolled out its VASP license regime, hoping to attract high-quality crypto firms to set up business in Hong Kong.”

"When we look ahead to the hopeful approval for spot Bitcoin ETFs, it really is going to unlock the opportunity to a part of the investment community that for better or worse has been locked out for the opportunity to participate in having Bitcoin exposure in their portfolio," Sonnenshein said.

"We're really taking about the advised market here in the US. Which is today, about $30 trillion worth of advised wealth that we hope the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, the up-listing of GBTC, will allow for that opportunity and for those investors to partake in it as well."

$MATH is direct competitor to Matrixport
$B+ valuation play

Bitcoin and crypto may soon see another mass wave of adoption by United States-based firms after a new accounting rule change that lets companies more accurately reflect the value of their crypto holdings.

Cory Klippsten, the CEO of Bitcoin-only exchange Swan Bitcoin, told Cointelegraph that Bitcoin-holding companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla, which both had to report impairment on their holdings, “can now more accurately reflect their Bitcoin investments’ true value.”

“This change is crucial for a broad range of companies, not just those primarily focused on Bitcoin, encouraging more mainstream corporate adoption.”
The new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rules released on Dec. 13 that come into effect in December 2024 see the estimated market value of crypto held by companies represented accurately on companies’ accounting books by allowing them to record when they’re holding assets at a gain.

Previously, crypto held by companies was subject to impairment only when the value of crypto decreased on the books, which could not be increased until sold, even if its value increased while being held.

Klippsten added that companies could now use Bitcoin as a “strategic financial asset,” as they would be able to report on their value gains and losses, a feature that could help drive adoption.

Matrixport research head and Crypto Titans author Markus Thielen told Cointelegraph that the rule change “underscores the palpable corporate demand” for incorporating crypto into a firm’s accounting.


“Digital assets are increasingly becoming a crucial component of financial statements,” said Thielen, adding that companies will now have more confidence when valuing their crypto holdings.

“This signals a resounding confirmation that digital assets have firmly established themselves in the financial landscape.”
Others were also excited by the rule change. David Marcus, co-creator of Facebook’s binned stablecoin project Diem, posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Dec. 13, saying the new rules are “actually a big deal,” which remove “a large obstacle standing in the way of corporations holding Bitcoin on their balance sheet.”


In a Sept. 6 note following the FASB’s approval of the rules, Berenberg Capital’s senior equity research analyst Mark Palmer said crypto-holding companies could “eliminate the poor optics that have been created by impairment losses under the rules that the FASB has had in place.”

BLACKROCK: Lists Bitcoin Spot ETF
The iShares spot Bitcoin ETF, put forth by the investment company BlackRock, has been registered with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). This indicates a possible green light from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in the near future. BlackRock uses the ticker symbol IBTC, which matches its branding for the rest of its ETFs. This is the first Bitcoin spot ETF listed on the DTCC and is a significant first step to a possible listing. BlackRock is leading the charge on the crucial first steps when listing a new ETF.

Source: CoinGape
Eric Balchunas has been leading the possible Bitcoin spot ETF approval coverage. Balchunas has said that BlackRock may have already received the green light for listing the ETF from the SEC, which has sent the price of Bitcoin surging. There is tons of speculation that multiple ETFs will be included at once, which include Ark Invest, Valkyrie, Gemini, Fidelity, and Grayscale.

Executive Summary:

Grayscale Investments’ recent court ruling in favor of launching the first-ever Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. is a watershed moment for the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Beyond the immediate market reaction, this event points towards a maturing regulatory environment and sets a potential precedent for the broader adoption of crypto-focused financial products.

Regulatory Inconsistencies:

Upon news of the court’s decision, we observed a noticeable surge in market sentiment. Notably, Coinbase (COIN) experienced a 14% upswing while Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTC:GBTC) saw an impressive 18% rise. The event underscores the interconnectedness of the crypto landscape and the cascading impact of significant regulatory changes.

A significant backdrop to this case is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) seemingly incongruent approach to crypto products. Their prior approval of two Bitcoin futures ETPs versus their denial of Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETP posed questions that the appellate court felt compelled to address.

Institutional Implications:

The sanctioning of a Bitcoin ETF introduces a regulated avenue for substantial institutional capital inflows into the Bitcoin space. Previously reticent entities such as pension funds and mutual funds now possess a potentially less volatile and regulatory-friendly mechanism to access crypto exposure.

For crypto exchanges, the ETF ruling is not merely an affirmation of Grayscale’s proposition but an endorsement of the broader crypto ecosystem. Platforms like Coinbase could benefit from heightened trading volumes and a surge in new user registrations. Additionally, for $GBTC, this might present a unique opportunity to narrow the persistent discount to its net asset value (NAV).

Grayscale’s triumph could very well be the clarion call for other financial giants to initiate their Bitcoin ETF offerings, ushering in an era of competitive products tailored for diverse investor needs.

The ruling underscores the urgency for transparent and standardized regulatory guidelines in the crypto realm. While the U.S. market is pivotal, its regulatory decisions often ripple across global jurisdictions. An open acceptance of crypto ETFs in the U.S. might expedite similar initiatives in other major markets.

Closing Thoughts:

Grayscale’s legal victory is emblematic of the evolving intersections of finance, technology, and regulation. While the immediate market euphoria might wane, the long-term implications for the institutional adoption and acceptance of cryptocurrencies are profound. Investors, both retail and institutional, would be wise to monitor these developments and adjust strategies accordingly in what promises to be an exciting phase for the crypto asset class.
