Hong Kong is reportedly considering the possibility of allowing spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in addition to the futures-based crypto ETFs currently allowed. The CEO of Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission, Julia Leung, stated that the city-state welcomes proposals using innovative technology that boost efficiency and customer experience, as long as new risks are addressed. This move comes as Hong Kong aims to become a leading digital asset hub, with the rollout of a virtual assets regulatory framework earlier this year. Reports also suggest that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has pushed for banks in the city-state to offer their services to licensed crypto exchanges.

Lawyers from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) argued in a brief submitted to an appeals court that a federal judge "wrongly" allowed Kalshi to list and trade election contracts, and reiterated many of its arguments made in a lower court.
