Wintermute, a crypto market maker, will provide liquidity to OSL and HashKey for spot Bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds in Hong Kong. This will help the company to establish itself in the crypto space in Asia.
As per Wintermute, the company intends to involve sub-custodians, OSL and HashKey, regarding Hong Kong’s spot crypto ETFs.
According to Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy, ETFs will be responsible for roping in additional investors within the crypto arena. This is in the case of institutional and retail businesses. This would not be feasible if businesses such as Wintermute were not offering liquidity. Hong Kong has taken the position of being a top encourager of crypto within the APAC space. They hope they will be setting an example for more businesses to follow.
