CFB Talks Digital Assets Episode 51: How MicroBit Capital created one of Hong Kong's fastest-growing Bitcoin ETFs, with CIO Kenny Khuong
Hong Kong’s listed digital asset product market has been on a steady path of growth since the first spot crypto ETFs were launched there around 18 months ago, but one asset manager stands out: MicroBit Capital Management.
Particularly because it’s one of the newest investment mangers operating in the region, and specifically focused on digital assets.
The firm’s MicroBit Bitcoin Spot ETF (SEHK tickers: 3430, 9430) was launched on August 21st, 2025, but already manages around US $230 million in assets, making it one of the fastest-growing crypto ETFs in the region, since the inception of the product class.
MicroBit also launched MicroBit Ether Spot ETF (3425, 9425) on the same day as its Bitcoin fund. Both ETFs sit alongside a comprehensive suite of institutionally focused investment solutions and strategies offered by the firm, to fulfill its mission of helping clients capture the transformative opportunities offered by both traditional and digital assets.
Given MicroBit’s impressive growth, we’re super-excited to welcome their Chief Investment Officer, Kenny Khuong, as our first Hong Kong-based investment management guest on the CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast!
Just a sample of topics covered in our wide-ranging conversation:
- Why MicroBit’s positioning as a digital-asset focused investment manager has struck a chord with investors seeking exposure to crypto investment opportunities
