Futu Introduces BTC, ETH, and USDT Deposit Services, Bridging the Gap Between Crypto and Traditional Finance
(Hong Kong, May 7, 2025) Futu Securities International (Hong Kong) Limited ("Futu") today announced the launch of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT)* deposit services. Eligible investors can utilize Futubull’s one-stop trading platform to deposit cryptocurrencies ("crypto"), trade digital assets, and seamlessly diversify their portfolios across various asset classes or withdraw funds as needed.
With this new deposit service, investors can manage crypto and traditional financial ("TradFi") assets — including Hong Kong, US and Japanese stocks, options, ETFs, funds, and bonds — all within a single app. This integration enables investors to transition effortlessly between digital and traditional investment strategies, empowering investors to select suitable products and navigate market fluctuations with confidence.
Hong Kong's Largest Tech Brokerage: Compliant, Safe, and Secure
According to public data, one in every two adults in Hong Kong is a Futu user. Futubull has consistently ranked as the most downloaded stock trading application in Hong Kong, firmly establishing Futu as the No.1 retail brokerage trusted by a broad base of investors.
As a licensed corporation recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, Futu strictly adheres to anti-money laundering (AML) compliance requirements. Clients' crypto assets are securely custodied with licensed exchanges, further ensuring the safety of client funds and assets.
The Shortest Path from Crypto to TradFi Assets on Futubull
Conventional crypto trading platforms are widely perceived as disconnected from traditional financial products, typically offering crypto trading alone. On the other hand, traditional financial institutions have yet to establish the compliance and operational infrastructure for crypto, and most lack the capability to securely handle cryptos. This significantly restricts the circulation and reinvestment of these assets within the traditional financial system.
As Hong Kong's leading one-stop investment platform, Futu provides investors with a comprehensive suite of asset classes, including Hong Kong, US and Japanese stocks, options, ETFs, Cash Plus (money market funds), bonds, and more, in addition to crypto. Futu's universal account solution further simplifies asset management, enabling clients to oversee their diverse holdings with ease. The new feature streamlines account switching, giving clients a consolidated view of their entire portfolio and enhancing cross-market and cross-category trading capabilities.
With the launch of crypto deposit services, Futu is significantly increasing flexibility for crypto investors, paving a seamless path from Crypto to TradFi. Whether clients choose to securely hold crypto, sell crypto for reinvest in other assets, all transactions can be completed within a single, unified platform, significantly improving capital efficiency.
Futu has also launched a limited-time promotion, with new customers can enjoy a BTC reward of up to HK$1,600. For detailed terms and conditions, please refer to the official website**.
In addition, advanced tools and rich market data are among the key reasons investors choose Futu. Futubull offers powerful real-time market data and continuously upgraded features driven by cutting-edge technology. Standout features such as Futubull AI, the Insights page, Options toolbox, and the powerful short-term trading tool Algo Trading, are all designed by Futu’s team to optimize the trading experience and empower investors of all types to find strategies that best suit their needs.
More Features Coming Soon: Bridging Virtual and Traditional Asset Trading
In recent years, Hong Kong’s virtual asset industry has thrived under strong government support, attracting an increasing number of investors. Futu continues to stay at the forefront of regulatory developments, rapidly launching services such as crypto ETF trading, crypto trading, deposit services, and crypto paper trading feature. Previously, Futu has already supported direct redemption from Cash Plus to crypto accounts, further enhancing cross-category fund mobility and optimizing the crypto trading experience.
Mr. Daniel Tse, Managing Director of Futu Securities, said:"Market demand for crypto deposit and withdrawal services is high, yet few brokerages are able to offer these services. Futu's strong technical capabilities and robust financial standing enable us to meet the diverse investment needs of all types of investors. We provide crypto trading services to eligible clients and open the door for crypto-focused investors to access TradFi assets. As a technology-driven brokerage, we aim to bridge the gap between emerging virtual assets and traditional assets classes, promoting activity and participation in both markets. Following the launch of deposit services, Futu plans to introduce withdrawal services and support for deposits and withdrawals of more mainstream crypto. Futu is committed to building a more diversified investment platform and a thriving investment environment, delivering a superior experience to crypto investors."
