Özet

Bloomberg's report cited "people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified as the information is private."

  • Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is expected to approve the first batch of spot bitcoin ETFs before the end of 2024, according to a Bloomberg report.
  • At least two entities have applied with the ASX, and another is working towards it, the report said.

The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), which accounts for 90% of Australia’s equity market, is expected to approve the first spot-Bitcoin {BTC} exchange-traded funds (ETFs) before the end of 2024, Bloomberg has reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Local entity, DigitalX Ltd. applied in February, the report said. VanEck resubmitted an application in February, it announced last month. Sydney-based BetaShares told Bloomberg it is working toward launching a product on the ASX.

ASX said it could not add anything to its last email response to a CoinDesk request for comment in January. Back then, ASX told CoinDesk that it “does not comment on investment product applications” but that it “continues to engage with a number of issuers that are interested in admitting crypto-asset-based ETFs.”

Momentum for Bitcoin ETFs in and around Asia has picked up after U.S. approvals. Hong Kong officially approved the first batch of spot bitcoin and ether ETFs last week.

Earlier this month, Australia-based Monochrome Asset Management applied for a spot bitcoin ETF with the global listing exchange, Cboe Australia, CoinDesk reported. Cboe Australia is a smaller rival of ASX. At the time of the announcement, Monochrome said it selected Cboe Australia because of its expertise across Asia and broader investor access, among other aspects.

UPDATE (April 29, 2024, 06:55 UTC): Adds response from ASX.

Transcending Cycles, Defining the Future: BIT Hosts Global Asset Strategy Sharing Session in Hong Kong, Exploring New Paradigms of Web3 and Traditional Markets

Amid a shifting global macroeconomic landscape, BIT, a global digital asset financial services group, hosted the "Global Asset Strategy Forum" in Hong Kong on April 22, 2026, under the theme "Transcending Cycles, Defining the Future." The event brought together industry leaders from financial institutions, crypto platforms, and professional service firms to explore new paradigms in Web3 and traditional markets. Key discussions centered on cross-market investment opportunities, regulatory pathways for compliant stablecoins, and the role of precious metals like gold and silver in the digital economy. BIT Founding Partner Cynthia Wu highlighted the institutionalization of the digital asset sector, noting its evolution from early retail-driven speculation to a phase marked by clearer regulation, the approval of spot ETFs, and the rise of Real-World Assets (RWA). She emphasized RWA’s role in bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets. Speakers observed a structural "reversal" between Web3 and traditional markets: Web3 is becoming more rational and profit-oriented, while traditional markets, especially U.S. equities driven by AI, are attracting concentrated capital and attention. The U.S. "Goldilocks" economic environment and AI commercialization were noted as key factors supporting risk assets. In stablecoin discussions, panelists emphasized the importance of regulatory compliance, asset-backed reserves, and transparency, noting that algorithmic stablecoins remain uncertain from a regulatory perspective. For RWA, gold was discussed as a macro-sensitive asset, with its value closely tied to interest rates, dollar strength, and geopolitical factors. The forum concluded that the digital asset industry is transitioning from narrative-driven growth to structure-driven, cross-market integration, with a focus on institutional participation and trust-based financial infrastructure.
