AMINA Bank, a Switzerland-based FINMA-regulated crypto bank, has partnered with NASDAQ-listed digital asset manager Metalpha to roll out one of Hong Kong’s first regulated crypto equity funds designed for professional investors.
The fund, named Principal Fund I, offers exposure to global crypto-related equities such as Coinbase, Circle, and MicroStrategy, alongside select Hong Kong-listed firms. According to the partners, it combines equity investments with derivatives strategies to deliver risk-adjusted returns.
AMINA said the fund has already outperformed its benchmark by more than 20%, highlighting investor appetite for regulated crypto products in the city.
The launch comes as Hong Kong seeks to strengthen its position as a regional hub for institutional digital assets, catering to growing demand from family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and institutional investors.
Monique Chan, CEO of Metalpha’s Hong Kong licensed subsidiary LSQ Capital, said, “In collaboration with AMINA Bank, we are supporting global ultra-high-net-worth clients in accessing digital asset opportunities through a more secure, trusted and regulated approach.”
Ronald Poon, AMINA’s Executive Director for Asia-Pacific, said the partnership reflects “a step towards bridging traditional wealth management with next-generation crypto finance.”
