Samsung Asset Management "Bitcoin Futures ETF, '122% Return'"

Record Achieved One Year After Listing

Samsung Asset Management announced on the 10th that the 'Samsung Bitcoin Futures Active ETF,' which was listed on the Hong Kong stock market in January last year, recorded a return of 122% in just over a year since its listing. This return is high enough to surpass the returns of all ETFs listed domestically during the same period.

The Samsung Bitcoin Futures Active ETF is designed to invest in Bitcoin futures products listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) to achieve investment performance similar to Bitcoin spot prices. Since this ETF is listed and traded on the Hong Kong market, domestic and Asian investors who want to invest in Bitcoin more safely can conveniently invest during regular business hours. Additionally, investors can easily invest in Bitcoin assets in the form of an ETF through existing overseas securities trading accounts without needing a cryptocurrency wallet, which has been well received by traditional securities investors.

Above all, the Bitcoin futures ETF has the advantage of eliminating risks such as spot exchange bankruptcy and hacking that may occur when investors invest directly in Bitcoin.

Eugene Hwan Yoo, Head of Global Strategy Planning Team at Samsung Asset Management, said, "With the expectation that the U.S. SEC will decide on the approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF on the 10th U.S. local time, Bitcoin prices have risen significantly since the second half of last year, and the Samsung Bitcoin Futures Active ETF, which was listed on the Hong Kong market on January 13 last year, recorded a return of over 100% in just over a year." He added, "Bitcoin investment through ETFs is expected to continue to increase."

The Samsung Bitcoin Futures Active ETF can be traded from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, when the Hong Kong stock market is open. Investors can trade by selecting Hong Kong as the trading country in the overseas stock section of HTS or MTS overseas securities trading accounts and entering the stock code ‘03135’ or ‘FA SAMSUNG BTC’.
