ChinaAMC (China Asset Management, Hong Kong entity) is one of the four issuers granted conditional SFC approval in April 2024 for Hong Kong's first spot crypto ETFs, and one of two issuers (alongside Bosera International) whose spot Ether ETF is staking-enabled. ChinaAMC's staking-enabled Ether ETF launched by 15 May 2025 in partnership with OSL as the licensed staking platform, using Kiln's validator infrastructure with staking rewards accruing into the fund's net asset value.
What it is
ChinaAMC's Hong Kong entity issues the firm's Hong Kong-listed spot crypto ETFs, run alongside ChinaAMC's broader conventional fund range as a mainland Chinese asset manager operating an offshore Hong Kong platform. The ChinaAMC-OSL pairing is the more institutionally documented of Hong Kong's two staking-enabled ETH ETF launches: OSL's own public material describes its status as the first insured, SFC-licensed digital asset platform in Hong Kong as the basis for the staking service.
Relevance to tokenisation
ChinaAMC's product is a worked example of Hong Kong's staking-ETF architecture in practice: fund manager and staking platform as separately regulated, separately licensed counterparties, with a third-party validator infrastructure provider (Kiln) running underneath the platform. See Hong Kong's staking-enabled ETH ETF regime for the fuller comparison, including what remains unconfirmed about staking caps and redemption mechanics.
