The new index series from HKEX will offer a single reference price for Bitcoin and Ether, aligning with Asia-Pacific trading hours, and it aims to boost transparency in the digital asset market.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX), a publicly traded global exchange group, announced the launch of a new digital asset index series for accurate real-time data on digital assets in the Asia-Pacific region.
The HKEX Virtual Asset Index Series will go live on Nov. 15, providing investors with benchmarks for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) pricing in the Asian time zone.
HKEX’s new index series coincides with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission’s (SFC) plans to issue more digital asset exchange licenses by the end of the year.
