Futu Securities International, Hong Kong’s largest online brokerage, has launched retail cryptocurrency trading services, allowing users to trade Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) directly on its platform.
This move, announced on August 1, comes after Futu secured an upgraded securities license from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). The upgrade enables Futu to offer virtual asset dealing services to both professional and retail customers.
To attract new investors, Futu is offering incentives such as Bitcoin, supermarket vouchers, and shares of Alibaba and Nvidia for new account deposits.
This strategic initiative aims to capitalize on the rising crypto bull market.
