Guotai Junan International, a serious state-backed brokerage, has just received the full license for virtual assets from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission—now you can directly buy BTC, ETH, and even USDT in your stock trading account! No more hassle with Binance or OKX, the brokerage app allows one-click switching between stocks and Bitcoin, making it accessible for everyone.
Three major tricks for the national team to enter the market.
One-stop trading: account opening, deposits, and buying coins are all handled by the broker, no fear of running away or frozen cards, with compliance licenses backing it up.
Custom high-end package: soon to be released Bitcoin-linked structured products similar to principal-protected investments, earn coins when it rises, lose less money when it falls.
After the tokenized national bonds go on sale, buying national bonds can be broken down into cryptocurrency fragments, becoming a bondholder with just a few hundred bucks.
What benefits are there for retail investors? The influx of incremental funds: big money from Hong Kong is directly entering the crypto space. Those who previously found it troublesome now just need to click a couple of times to go all in on altcoins. Be cautious: brokers will definitely list more coins like SOL and ADA, they will eventually enter the whitelist. Pricing power reshuffle: institutional orders will crush retail, the sharp drops will become less frequent, but surges may also be limited.
Pouring cold water to wake up.
Don't get too excited too early: just because Hong Kong can trade doesn’t mean the mainland will open up! Domestic bans are still strict, be careful of policy temperature differences. New retail investors should be warned: most broker users don’t understand crypto rules, it's easy to get severely cut in the late bull market. Derivatives are a double-edged sword: Bitcoin options and income certificates sound great, but the speed of liquidation is even more thrilling than contracts.
Practical advice from the sea:
Short term within 1 month: closely monitor the capital flow of Hong Kong Stock Connect, the surge in accounts at Guotai Junan is a signal.
Medium term within 3 months: ambush Hong Kong concept coins like CFX and KEY, these veterans are about to get restless.
Long term: hold onto Bitcoin spot, traditional institutions entering the market are ultimately just lifting BTC!
To put it bluntly: trading cryptocurrencies used to be like wandering through a black market, now it's like going directly to a supermarket.
But remember—there are also high-priced goods and near-expired items in the supermarket, keep your eyes wide open to avoid being a fool. Please follow up with the sea.
