Futu has started to provide cryptocurrency trading services to Hong Kong retail investors and plans to give away BTC and stocks to certain users

Odaily News Steve Zeng, managing director of Futu Group, said in an interview that "the market response was relatively positive on the first day of our cryptocurrency trading service launch." In addition, in order to attract users, Futu also plans to give away Bitcoin and Alibaba and Nvidia stocks to specific users who open accounts and hold assets for a certain period of time. Futu is applying for the SFC's virtual asset trading platform license through its wholly-owned subsidiary PantherTrade. According to the SFC's website, PantherTrade has been included in the list of applicants "deemed to have been licensed." (The Block)
