On May 6, 2025, a system screenshot hidden with mysteries broke like thunder in the capital market - on the account page of Futu Securities, the entry for Bitcoin deposits quietly appeared. When engineers in Central Hong Kong completed the final system adjustments, this internet brokerage with 23 million users officially announced: the trading functions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT are fully launched. This is not only an iteration of functions but also a financial revolution brewing for twelve years.
One, the revenge of tech geeks: from a loss of 300,000 to a hundred billion empire.
The story of founder Li Hua is a microcosm of the Chinese internet era. This former 18th employee of Tencent once lost HKD 300,000 in a single day due to trading system failures. At that time, the frequent stalling of Hong Kong stock trading software and the pain points of inhumane operations ignited the obsession of this technology fanatic from Hunan. After achieving a legendary annual trading volume of HKD 4 billion from retail investors in 2007, he resolutely embarked on a path of disruption.
Three core genes forge Futu's foundation:
1. Code builds walls: 70% of the R&D team constructs a fully self-developed system, processing millions of orders per second.
2. Dimension reduction strike: leveraging Tencent's capital to sweep through the Hong Kong stock market with zero commissions, acquiring a million young users in three years.
3. License Great Wall: Global layout of over a hundred financial licenses, paving the compliant path for crypto expeditions.
Two, three years of shadow warfare: a cautious chess game in crypto.
Futu's crypto journey is actually a meticulously designed "triple jump" strategy:
1. Covert sowing (before 2024):
In August, we tested professional investors in crypto trading, with a daily trading volume discreetly surpassing ten million US dollars, and by the end of the year, we will release the (Crypto Asset Allocation White Paper), planting the seeds of awareness in the investor community
2. Dawn moment (May 2025):
Supports a minimum deposit of 0.0002 BTC (approximately $6.5), creating a two-way channel between the "crypto world and stock market" with a unique "stablecoin anchoring" system, achieving seamless conversion between USDT and US stock ETFs, setting a professional investor threshold of HKD 8 million, showcasing a profound understanding of Hong Kong regulations.
Future outlook:
1. The internal roadmap shows: crypto staking lending, index funds, and other derivatives have entered the testing phase
2. Engaging with institutions like Circle to build a three-dimensional exchange network for fiat-crypto-securities.
Three, dimension reduction strike: three strategic reconstructions of the financial ecosystem
1. Traffic siphoning technique.
Targeting the 85% of the 500 million crypto users who are "stock market insulated", USDT direct investment in US stocks can convert trillions of funds
The NiuNiu community has formed a natural viral spread with a million daily active users.
2. Scene revolution:
Profitable Bitcoin instantly turns into Tesla stock, and staked Ethereum immediately participates in Hong Kong stock IPOs.
The original "Market Sentiment Index" will transform cryptocurrency public opinion into quantitative trading signals.
3. Ecological hegemony:
Bridging the "Ren and Du Meridians" between traditional finance and the crypto world, becoming the liquidity hub across markets.
Sources from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority revealed: its on-chain tracking system has become a new model for anti-money laundering regulation
Four, the financial upheaval under the shockwave.
1. Exchange offensive and defensive battle:
Binance urgently launched stock token products, OKX announced a 50% reduction in withdrawal fees
A senior executive from a certain exchange admitted: "Futu's compliance advantage makes us feel like we are sitting on thorns."
2. The life-and-death situation of traditional brokerages:
A certain Hong Kong-funded brokerage faced setbacks during a system upgrade, experiencing three outages in a single day, exposing the technological gap.
Small and medium institutions face a shortage of license resources and may be forced to transition to wealth management.
3. New regulatory paradigm:
The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission has included the Futu model in the first batch of "Regulatory Sandbox 2.0" pilots.
Mainland scholars pointed out: this move provides a testbed for cross-border settlement of the digital yuan
Five, the future has arrived: when Wall Street meets blockchain.
1. Standing at the crossroads of the era, Futu's boundary-breaking actions are reshaping financial cognition. When crypto youth start studying the impact of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes on BTC, and stock investors discuss whether ETH staking yields can outperform Moutai dividends, the dimensional walls between these two parallel worlds are collapsing.
2. As Li Hua wrote in the internal letter: "We want to be the financial ferryman of the digital age, allowing value to flow without borders." Perhaps looking back ten years later, the summer of 2025 in Hong Kong will be remembered as the historic handshake moment between traditional financial civilization and the new world of crypto.
