跑步入局 Web3,香港券商「着急了」

这次富途的入局,意味着香港头部券商已悉数入局 Web3。

撰文:吴天一

8 月 1 日,据明报报道,富途香港今日正式上线受香港证监会规管的虚拟货币交易服务,包括 BTC、ETH 与美元、港币在内的四个现货交易对,可直接使用港币及美元以实时汇率直接买入虚拟货币。

根据官网信息,富途目前持有香港 1、7 号牌照, 而艾德、胜利、老虎等老牌券商则拥有 1 号牌照。而 2023 年 6 月 1 日起,在港从事虚拟资产交易服务,也需获得证监会颁发的「VASP 牌照」。根据香港证监会官网信息,这些券商的 VASP 牌照仍在申请中,富途、老虎等申请目前均为「被视为已获发牌」状态。

DeThings 记者观察到,这些券商主要通过与合规交易所合作拓展其业务。此前,在 6 月首届 HashKey 新视界论坛上,香港持牌虚拟资产交易所 HashKey Exchange CEO Livio Weng 就透露过,目前已与富途就虚拟资产交易开展合作,对接技术系统,一旦富途的 1 号牌升级获批,就可以向客户提供 BTC、ETH 的交易服务。

如今 HashKey Exchange 除了是香港最大的持牌交易所之外,也成为了香港最大的 Omnibus 服务提供商。

凭借香港持牌市场最大的交易量和最好的流动性,目前几乎所有主流香港券商,均通过接入 HashKey Exchange 来面向客户提供交易服务。据 HashKey Exchange 公告,目前 Omnibus 经纪商业务周交易量已突破 1 亿港元。对于刚起步的业务来说,已是相当亮眼的表现。

当券商入场加密交易时,其业务范围将有别于传统券商。根据香港《证券及期货条例》、《中华人民共和国证券法》等法律对于券商的定义,其作为提供投资者证券买卖交易服务的法人组织,拥有接受客户委托,代客下单买卖证券以收取手续费之业务,自营则是证券商以自己名义进行证券买卖之业务。证券商不得收受存款、办理放款、借贷有价证券等。因此,VASP 牌照获批前,这些券商或需以合作形式提供虚拟资产服务。

富途证券是全香港最大的科技券商,注册用户数约占香港成年人口三分之一。用户资产量达 4856 亿港元,2023 年交易总额达 42566 亿港元。此外,还有与富途经历类似的老虎、盈透证券等美资背景的香港券商,胜利证券、富强证券等则是港资背景的香港券商,以及更为低调的中资背景的香港券商。

而这次富途的入局,意味着香港头部券商已悉数入局 Web3。

5 月,胜利证券表示,目前胜利证券正在申请香港虚拟资产交易所牌照,至于其证券型代币发行(STO)业务,最快将于年底推出。6 月,老虎证券(香港)表示,其已正式向香港散户投资者推出虚拟资产交易服务。7 月,香港艾德金融宣布即将通过旗下智能交易应用 Eddid ONE 推出比特币、以太币交易功能。

这些券商的步伐显得有一些着急,其背后可能有诸多原因,首先,自今年 1 月比特币 ETF 通过、4 月比特币第四次减半完成以来,比特币一度到达 74,000 美元,而在过去几个月,比特币价格一度反复震荡,市场时常出现本轮牛市已经过半或者已经见顶的论调。或许是不想错过本轮牛市,各家券商都在积极推进虚拟资产交易服务。

其次,香港股市持续疲软或也造成一定压力。数据显示,恒生指数在三年之间从超过三万点,跌至最低谷的 14,863 点,目前仅恢复到 17000 点。此前港股多个交易日的成交额不足 1000 亿港元,千只港股成交额在 1 万港元以下,700 余港股零成交。此外,今年上半年从香港股市摘牌的上市公司有 19 家,其中 8 家公司是透过私有化退市,涉及金额 38 亿美元。

在港股「寒潮」、上市公司频频摘牌之时,券商选择加密货币作为新的投资选项,或许是香港金融的一剂强心针。入场的背后,代表着大量 Web2 用户获得了连接虚拟资产的入口。

根据香港投资者及理财教育委员会(投委会)最新调查,零售投资者过去一年有 96% 曾投资股票,24% 曾投资基金,18% 有投资债券。当中,投资虚拟资产及相关产品的有 8%,相比 2019 年的 1% 及 2021 年的 6%,有明显上升趋势。

香港目前有约 400 万股民,富途证券表示,根据其行业调查,逾 40% 未曾交易过虚拟资产的投资者表示希望于富途牛牛作交易,而近 75.6% 的经验投资者也支持富途平台推出虚拟资产交易服务。

去年 8 月,HashKey Group 首席运营官翁晓奇也表示,正在与大约 5 家香港本地券商合作,以建立与 HashKey 加密货币交易服务相关的入口。翁晓奇表示希望通过这些券商平台直接向投资者提供加密货币交易服务,「这可能会带来数千万在这些平台上交易港股的用户」。

此外,香港此前一直被批合规成本高昂,服务商恐入不敷出,但据文汇报报道,胜利证券透露其虚拟资产相关收入可以保持占该公司总收入的 4 分之 1,甚至 3 分之 1 水平,得益于入场较早的优势,其虚拟资产业务的投资已大致回本,现在已实现利润。

Chip Giant with 700 Billion Market Cap Sees Soaring Inventory

"Chips Giant with 700 Billion Market Cap Sees Inventory Soar" In its 2026 first-half financial report, Cambricon, a leading Chinese AI chip design company, reported significant growth in both revenue and profit. Revenue reached 59.96 billion yuan, up 108.13% year-on-year, while net profit grew 122.61% to 23.11 billion yuan. However, a major point of investor focus was the sharp rise in the company's inventory, which surged 66.83% from the end of the previous year to 82.48 billion yuan. This inventory now represents 45.32% of its total assets. The increase is primarily attributed to a substantial growth in raw materials (up 77.95% to 52.78 billion yuan) and work-in-process with contract manufacturers (up 61.85% to 24.18 billion yuan). Cambricon management explained that the inventory build-up was due to increased purchases of raw materials and outsourced processing. The company acknowledged the risk of inventory impairment should market conditions change. Industry analysts noted that as a fabless chip designer, such inventory accumulation is a strategic move to secure wafer capacity. However, it carries significant risk due to the industry's rapid technological iteration. If downstream demand slows, the company could face substantial inventory write-downs. Additionally, Cambricon's prepayments soared nearly threefold to 29.14 billion yuan. Brokerage analyses interpret the concurrent rise in prepayments and inventory as a positive indicator, suggesting strong future order fulfillment and pointing towards significant revenue growth in the third quarter. Despite strong operational metrics, the company's cash and cash equivalents have shown a declining trend over the past three years, dropping to 6.26 billion yuan by mid-2026. Cambricon's stock price hit a historic high of 1,620 yuan per share in June, briefly pushing its market capitalization above one trillion yuan. As of August 13th, its share price was 1,105.5 yuan, with a total market cap of approximately 694.6 billion yuan.

Securitize's First Post-IPO Financial Report Disappoints, Has the 'Compliant Tokenization' Narrative Lost Its Luster?

Securitize, a leading tokenization platform, released its first quarterly earnings report since going public in July 2026, disappointing investors. Q2 2026 revenue was $14.43 million, down 5% year-over-year and 26% sequentially, missing analyst estimates. The net loss widened to $21.68 million. While tokenized assets under management grew 9% to a record $4.3 billion and platform trading volume surged 147% to $5.3 billion, total assets under administration fell 20% to $24.3 billion. The divergence between soaring volume and declining revenue raised concerns about its fee structure and business model viability. The report highlights Securitize's continued focus on regulatory compliance, including partnerships with major transfer agents and approvals from FINRA and Dubai's VARA. It also registered an investment advisor subsidiary with the SEC. However, tangible progress in its new tokenized public securities business was limited. Apart from tokenizing its own stock (SECZ) at its IPO, no other public company stock has been tokenized on its platform in over a month. Analysts note that SECZ's on-chain market value is misleading as it was issued to existing shareholders, not driven by secondary market demand. Post-earnings, Securitize's stock fell over 20%, bringing its total decline since its IPO to approximately 36%. The market reaction underscores investor concern over shrinking revenue and the slow pace of commercializing its tokenized equities narrative, shifting focus from regulatory milestones to real-market metrics like market share and user adoption.

Crypto Bear Market: Which Crypto Concept Stocks Are Institutional Giants Accumulating?

Despite a bearish crypto market, major institutional investors are increasing their positions in key crypto-related stocks, as revealed in recent 13F filings. European asset management giant Amundi significantly boosted its stake in MicroStrategy (MSTR) by 148%. Other institutions like Vanguard, State Street, and Capital Group also added to their MSTR holdings. While price performance has been weak, banks and public pension funds, including those from Michigan and Louisiana, are also expanding their exposure, signaling growing acceptance. In the mining sector, Bitmine (BMNR) saw inflows from passive index funds following its inclusion in the Russell index, with BlackRock as a major holder. For Circle (CRCL), active buyers included the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, the Swiss National Bank, and ARK Invest, which has been actively trading the stock. Regarding Coinbase (COIN), large positions from Vanguard and BlackRock are primarily passive, tied to index inclusions. ARK Invest engages in more active, tactical buying. Robinhood (HOOD) shows high institutional ownership (over 93%), with various pension funds making smaller, scattered additions. ARK Invest leads in active trading for stocks like Block (XYZ) and Bullish (BLSH), while traditional asset managers' moves are often passive. The trend indicates institutions are strategically accumulating sector leaders during the downturn, with conservative funds slowly adding crypto equities to their portfolios. However, due to the 45-day reporting lag, 13F data should be used for reference, not for direct copy-trading.

Securitize's First Post-IPO Financial Report Bombshell: Is the 'Compliant Tokenization' Narrative Failing to Sell?

Securitize, a tokenization platform, released its first earnings report since going public in July 2026, revealing disappointing Q2 results. Revenue fell 5% year-over-year to $14.43 million, missing estimates, while the net loss widened significantly to $21.68 million. Despite achieving record tokenized assets under management of $4.3 billion and a 147% surge in platform trading volume, overall assets under administration declined by 20%. The company's stock (SECZ) dropped over 20% in after-hours trading following the report. The article highlights a key concern: Securitize's revenue declined despite substantial trading growth, suggesting either compressed fees or an unclear business model. While Securitize maintains its focus on regulatory compliance—securing key partnerships with entities like Computershare and NYSE, and obtaining an SEC investment advisor registration—its tangible progress in the new tokenized stock business has been slow. Apart from tokenizing its own stock (SECZ) upon listing, it has not launched other tokenized equities. Analysts note that SECZ's high on-chain market capitalization is misleading, as it resulted from a one-time distribution to shareholders rather than organic investor demand. The market's patience is waning as investors prioritize real business metrics like market share and user adoption over the "compliant tokenization" narrative. Securitize's market value has fallen 36% from its debut, reflecting growing concerns over its shrinking revenue and the delayed execution of its tokenized stock initiatives.
