Eddid Financial Appointed as Participating Dealer for MicroBit Bitcoin and Gold Value ETF
Supporting Innovative Cross-Asset Architecture to Advance Hong Kong's Digital Asset Infrastructure
HONG KONG, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eddid Financial ("the Group"), a comprehensive financial services group, announced that its subsidiary, Eddid Securities and Futures Limited, has been appointed as a Participating Dealer for the MicroBit Bitcoin and Gold Value ETF (3002.HK / 9002.HK). The ETF officially commenced trading on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong today.
As a core Participating Dealer, Eddid Financial will utilize its advanced trading infrastructure and institutional-grade market-making capabilities to provide primary market in-kind and in-cash subscription and redemption services. The Group is committed to offer investors with seamless access to diversified asset allocation channels.
Innovative Cross-Asset Structure Delivers Enhanced Portfolio Resilience
The MicroBit Bitcoin and Gold Value ETF combines the two major asset classes, digital and traditional, and delivers an innovative cross-asset allocation tool to the market. Both Bitcoin and gold exhibit low long-term correlation with other traditional assets, which helps enhance investment resilience and supports diversification. Adding gold to the portfolio elevates the product's safe-haven attributes, effectively reducing overall portfolio volatility. From an asset management perspective, the fund features a periodic rebalancing mechanism to adjust portfolio holdings on a regular basis, maintaining the allocation of Bitcoin and gold at target proportions.
Strategic Digital Asset Expansion Solidifies Hong Kong's Web3 Financial Hub Position
While innovative, the dual-asset nature of the product places extremely high demands on the subscription and redemption mechanisms and technical integration. However, with its virtual asset licensing compliance framework and multi-asset settlement capabilities, Eddid Financial has successfully built an efficient in-kind and in-cash subscription and redemption mechanism for the ETF, demonstrating the Group's comprehensive strength in handling complex financial products.
Since the first launch of virtual asset spot ETFs in Hong Kong, the Group has consistently been a Participating Dealer for multiple mainstream issuers covering all Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and multi-asset themed spot ETFs in the market, supporting in-kind and in-cash subscription and redemption mechanisms of the relevant products. Dr. Ricky Yeung, Head of the Virtual Asset Department at Eddid Financial, states: "We are very pleased to be appointed as a Participating Dealer for this innovative ETF to provide clients with seamless solutions that bridge traditional and digital assets. Eddid Financial will continue to leverage its advantages in financial technology and compliance frameworks, cooperate closely with leading issuing institutions, and build a secure, convenient, and compliant digital asset investment bridge for institutional and individual investors."
