BIT Securities' Hong Kong stock business supports full trading of all individual stocks on the HKEX Main Board and GEM, IPO subscription, and margin trading among other core functions from the first phase. Users do not need to open a bank account or exchange for Hong Kong dollars; they can use USDT/USDC to enjoy 7×24-hour deposits and withdrawals, with funds arriving in as fast as seconds.
October 12, 2026 — BIT, a digital asset financial services group, announced that its Hong Kong stock trading service is now open, with its securities business simultaneously unveiled under the new brand "BIT Securities," marking BIT Securities' evolution from a U.S. stock business into a cross-market financial services provider covering U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and digital assets.
Direct Stablecoin Investment in Hong Kong and U.S. Stocks, One-Stop Global Asset Allocation
BIT Securities' Hong Kong stock business supports, in its first phase, full trading of all individual stocks on the HKEX Main Board and GEM, IPO subscriptions, and margin trading, among other core functions. Users do not need to open a bank account or exchange for Hong Kong dollars; they can use USDT/USDC for 7×24-hour deposits and withdrawals, with funds arriving in as fast as seconds. Existing BIT U.S. stock users can directly activate Hong Kong stock trading functionality, enabling one-stop allocation across U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and digital assets; with no cross-platform transfers or portfolio rebalancing needed, managing mainstream global assets is effortless.
This upgrade stems from continuous insight into user needs and reflects BIT Securities' ongoing deepening of its business capabilities. Since launching U.S. stock trading in February 2026, BIT Securities has rolled out U.S. stock margin financing, securities lending, and options trading services within eight months. With the launch of Hong Kong stock trading, BIT Securities has officially closed the loop on diversified allocation across U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and digital assets, continuing to drive cross-border financial innovation at Web3 speed.
Licensed Institutions Execute Custody, Ensuring Shareholder Rights
In terms of its compliance framework and asset security architecture, BIT Securities continues the institutional-grade high standards of its U.S. stock business. BIT Securities' Hong Kong stock business is operated by Matrix Gelephu Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of BIT, which holds a financial services license in Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC), Bhutan; trade execution and custody are provided by Atomic Vaults Asia, a Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission-licensed broker (holding a Type 1 regulated activity [securities dealing] license). Under this structure, users are the beneficial owners of the Hong Kong stocks they hold, entitled to corresponding dividends and voting rights and other shareholder rights, with the relevant assets held under a clear legal and regulatory framework.
7 Years of Institutional-Grade Accumulation, Carrying the Name "Securities," Facilitating Global Asset Allocation
The unveiling of the "BIT Securities" brand not only represents business evolution but also reflects BIT's understanding of the nature of assets and financial value. BIT has always believed that stocks are an important vehicle for investors to participate in corporate growth and share in operating results, and that their value is closely tied to corporate operations, corporate governance, and shareholder rights. For BIT Securities, the word "Securities" carries with it a clear custody structure, transparent information disclosure, and confirmable, traceable real rights relationships.
Having served institutional clients for over 7 years, BIT has always adhered to asset security, prudent risk control, compliant operations, and information transparency as its bottom line. Now, BIT Securities translates its long-accumulated institutional-grade capabilities and compliance framework into a convenient, smooth product experience, bringing asset allocation capabilities and security safeguards that previously mainly served institutions and high-net-worth individuals to a broader range of individual investors, promoting quality asset allocation for a wider investor base.
Elio Cui, Head of BIT Securities, said: "The launch of Hong Kong stock trading further improves BIT's cross-market service layout. Leveraging BIT's unified underlying account system, investors can more efficiently allocate flexibly among U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and digital assets. We hope to break down the high barriers of traditional finance, so that 'global asset allocation' is no longer the exclusive preserve of a few institutions and high-net-worth individuals, but a capability within reach for more ordinary investors."
Limited-Time Launch Benefits
With the launch of Hong Kong stock trading, BIT Securities is simultaneously offering limited-time benefits: from now until November 11, 2026, eligible users can enjoy 0-commission Hong Kong stock trading, 0 interest and 0 subscription fees for margin IPO subscriptions, an HK$100 Hong Kong stock platform fee offset card, and a Hong Kong stock L2 market data card, among other benefits. Specific eligibility, benefit details, and distribution rules are subject to BIT Securities' official announcements.
