That offering will include Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The firm has incorporated competitive rates and a 24/7 trading ability into the offering in an effort to gain traction. Additionally, it has waived digital asset custody fees.  Through the Tiger Trade platform, professional investors will be given access to this array of investment options. Initially, availability of the facility will be confined to professional investors in Hong Kong. Hong Kong residents with an investment portfolio valued above 8 million Hong Kong dollars ($1 million) and corporate entities with assets in excess of 40 million Hong Kong dollars ($5 million) qualify within the definition of accredited investors. Once it gains the relevant regulatory approval, Tiger Brokers intends to extend the service to retail investors. The company also outlined that it is considering adding cryptocurrency spot withdrawals and deposits as features within the new service offering. Zeng Qingfei, Chief Financial Officer of Tiger International, expressed the company's pride in leading the charge in virtual asset trading services. He emphasized Tiger Brokers' commitment to meeting the evolving needs of investors by expanding its product portfolio to include diversified investment opportunities. Through this strategic expansion, the company is aiming to equip investors with the tools they need to navigate dynamic market conditions effectively. The company hasn’t confined its efforts to achieve further growth to Hong Kong. In recent days, it has also enabled 24-hour trading of U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in New Zealand. Through extended trading hours, Kiwi investors will have greater opportunity than ever to participate in the market.
