BIT said its Hong Kong stock trading function has entered internal testing effective immediately. The company will begin an invitation-only public beta on Oct. 5 and open the service for trading on Oct. 12.
Users will be able to trade directly with stablecoins. In the initial rollout, BIT will support trading in all stocks listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Main Board and the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM), as well as IPO subscriptions and margin trading.
Shared account structure and beta incentives
Hong Kong and U.S. stock trading will use the same account system. Users who already have a BIT U.S. stock account can activate Hong Kong stock trading directly.
During the public beta, invited users will receive priority access slots. From the start of the public beta through the first month after the official launch, ending Nov. 11, all users will be eligible for zero-commission trading, zero interest and zero subscription fees for margin IPO subscriptions, a HK$100 fee offset voucher for the Hong Kong stock platform, and a Hong Kong stock L2 market data card. BIT said specific eligibility requirements and rules will be subject to its official announcements.
Executive comment
Elio Cui, head of BIT’s brokerage business, said, "The launch of BIT Hong Kong stock trading gives clients a more complete cross-market investment tool. As a key hub connecting onshore and offshore liquidity, Hong Kong’s capital market brings together scarce high-quality assets that combine high growth and high dividend characteristics. It is a core channel for investors seeking cross-regional asset allocation and access to regional growth opportunities. With the BIT account system, users can flexibly allocate across major global asset classes including U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and digital assets, truly achieving the efficiency of one account for global allocation."
