Nasdaq-listed Tiger Brokers rolls out online crypto trading to Hong Kong

Hong Kong continues to welcome new avenues for investors to trade cryptocurrencies as Nasdaq-listed Tiger Brokers rolls out cryptocurrency support on its Tiger Trade mobile and desktop app. 

According to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph, professional investors can access 18 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin BTCUSD and Ether ETHUSD, alongside stocks, options, futures, United States Treasury bonds and other global assets.

Tiger Brokers, which has been listed on the Nasdaq since 2019, has partnered with HashKey Exchange to offer professional investors access to cryptocurrency trading.

The facility will initially be available to professional investors in Hong Kong. This includes residents with an investment portfolio valued above 8 million Hong Kong dollars ($1 million) and corporate entities with assets exceeding 40 million HKD ($5 million).

The firm plans to extend its cryptocurrency trading services to regular retail investors, which requires regulatory approval. Tiger Brokers also noted that it is considering adding cryptocurrency spot withdrawals and deposits.

Don’t forget Bitcoin ETFs

Investors looking for direct and indirect exposure to cryptocurrencies can also tap into Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) through the platform.

Tiger Brokers added that trading of U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs and recently launched Hong Kong spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs is also available on Tiger Trade.
