BIT Securities Debuts as BIT Launches Hong Kong Stock Trading
BIT, a digital asset financial services group, today announced that Hong Kong stock trading is now open. Its securities business is also debuting under a new business brand, “BIT Securities.” This marks BIT Securities’ evolution from a U.S. equities offering into a cross-market financial services platform providing access to U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks and digital assets.
Invest in Hong Kong and U.S. Stocks with Stablecoins: One-Stop Access to Global Assets
The initial phase of BIT Securities’ Hong Kong stock service covers trading in all stocks listed on the Main Board and GEM of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, along with core features such as IPO subscriptions and margin trading. Users don’t need to open a bank account or convert to Hong Kong dollars. They can deposit and withdraw 24/7 in USDT/USDC, with funds arriving in as little as seconds. Existing BIT U.S. stock users can turn on Hong Kong stock trading directly and allocate across U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks and digital assets in one place. They can manage major global assets easily, without moving funds between platforms or rebalancing.
This upgrade comes from ongoing attention to user needs and reflects BIT Securities’ continued work to deepen its business capabilities. Since launching U.S. stock trading in February 2026, BIT Securities has added U.S. stock margin trading, short selling and options trading within eight months. With Hong Kong stock trading now live, BIT Securities has completed a closed loop for diversified allocation across U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks and digital assets. It continues to drive cross-sector financial innovation at Web3 speed.
Licensed Institutions Handle Execution and Custody, Supporting Real Shareholder Rights
On compliance and asset security, BIT Securities keeps the same institutional-grade standards as its U.S. stock business. Its Hong Kong stock business is operated by Matrix Gelephu Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of BIT that is licensed by the Gelephu Financial Services Office (GFSO) in GMC, Bhutan. Trade execution and custody are provided by Atomic Vaults Asia, a broker licensed by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for Type 1 regulated activity (dealing in securities). Under this structure, users are the beneficial owners of the Hong Kong stocks they hold. They are entitled to the corresponding shareholder rights, including dividends and voting rights, subject to applicable laws, market rules and intermediary arrangements, and assets are held within a clear legal and regulatory framework.
Seven Years of Institutional-Grade Experience: Living Up to the Name “Securities” and Supporting Global Asset Allocation
The debut of the BIT Securities brand marks the evolution of the business. It also reflects BIT’s understanding of what assets are and what finance is for. BIT has always believed that stocks are an important way for investors to take part in a company’s growth and share in its results. A stock’s value is closely tied to the company’s operations, its corporate governance and its shareholders’ rights. For BIT Securities, the word “Securities” stands for a clear custody structure, transparent disclosure, and real ownership rights that can be verified and traced.
BIT has served institutional clients for more than seven years. Throughout, it has treated asset security, prudent risk management, compliant operations and transparency as its bottom line. BIT Securities is now turning the institutional-grade capabilities and compliance framework it has built over the years into a convenient, seamless product experience. It is bringing asset allocation tools and security safeguards once mainly reserved for institutions and high-net-worth individuals to individual investors, making asset allocation tools more broadly accessible.

Elio Cui, Head of BIT Securities, said: “The launch of Hong Kong stock trading further strengthens BIT’s cross-market service offering. Built on BIT’s unified underlying account system, it allows investors to allocate across U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks and digital assets more efficiently and flexibly. We want to break down the high barriers of traditional finance, so that ‘global asset allocation’ is no longer reserved for a few institutions and high-net-worth individuals, but is within reach of more ordinary investors.”
