HONG KONG -- Three asset management companies have applied to launch exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking cryptocurrency futures for retail investors in Hong Kong after the city signaled it would allow more local exposure to digital assets.

CSOP Asset Management, Samsung Asset Management and Mirae Asset Global Investments applied with the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to list ETFs that invest in bitcoin and ether futures traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, according to people familiar with the plans.
