First blockchain-based ETF

First Government ETF :- Russia's state-owned Sberbank was the first bank and government institution to launch a blockchain-Focused ETF; it was launched on December 30, 2021.
First crypto-based ETF
The first Ethereum ETF was ETHX, which was the act of CI Galaxy, and launched at the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) on April 16, 2021.
The first Bitcoin ETF was BITO, which was the act of Winklevoss twins, and launched at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on October 19, 2021.
Entry of HSBC
In Hong-Kong, investors currently invest in CSOP's Bitcoin and Ethereum futures ETFs and Samsung's Bitcoin Futures Active ETF. That is, HSBC is not even the first in the Hong Kong market; it has only entered the history of ETFs, opening up new opportunities for investors.
