CMB International Shakes Up Hong Kong with 24/7 Crypto Trading Launch

Hong Kong's financial scene just got a crypto adrenaline shot. CMB International—the investment arm of China Merchants Bank—flips the switch on round-the-clock digital asset trading, becoming the latest heavyweight to bet on the city's Web3 ambitions.

No more waiting for markets to open. No more time-zone arbitrage. Just sleepless algorithms and caffeine-fueled traders chasing the next big pump.

The move comes as Hong Kong tightens its grip on crypto regulation while simultaneously rolling out the red carpet for institutional players. A delicate dance between control and capitulation—with banks now leading the charge.

Will this finally bridge the gap between traditional finance and crypto's wild west? Or just give suits a faster way to lose their bonuses? Either way, the casino never closes now.

CMB International Securities, a subsidiary of China Merchants Bank, ranked as the world’s eighth-largest bank, has officially launched virtual asset trading in Hong Kong. Investors can now buy and sell Bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT) round-the-clock. This move marks a major step toward mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies and offers Hong Kong residents a convenient, secure way to participate in digital asset trading day or night.
