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
  • Why MicroBit’s decision to enter Hong Kong’s competitive crypto product market was astutely timed
  • As an issuer of one of the first ETH staking ETFs in Hong Kong, Kenny breaks down the mechanics, challenges and opportunities of staking, from an investment manager’s perspective
  • Why strong crypto ETF demand from Hong Kong-domiciled family offices makes the region one of the most promising in Asia’s digital asset product market

For a rare look inside Hong Kong’s institutional crypto product market, and an even rarer opportunity to hear insights from one of the foremost digital asset portfolio managers in the region today, dive into this episode now on your favorite platform.

Bitcoin Holds the Line After Warsh's Hawkish Speech

Digital assets held onto most of a prior extraordinary rally despite a hawkish Fed policy shock late in the week. Dispersion ran beneath the surface: a rotation toward quality factors, a funding curve cracking at the front end, and an isolated token move within the DACS categories.
