Eddid Financial's New Milestone Following Virtual Assets License Uplift

HONG KONG, July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eddid Financial ("the Group") is set to launch a one-stop Bitcoin and Ether trading function on its smart trading app, Eddid ONE. This innovative feature will establish Eddid ONE as one of the few trading apps in Hong Kong that integrates virtual assets, Hong Kong stocks, US stocks, futures, forex, and funds in one single platform.

The Group's virtual asset trading services will open to all investors. Upon downloading Eddid ONE and opening the account, clients will gain access to 24/7 trading of Bitcoin and Ether, offering a simple and convenient trading experience while eliminating the hassle of setting up and managing separate virtual asset wallets. Additionally, Eddid ONE is available in 22 international markets, allowing clients to trade virtual assets globally at any time, enjoying the Group's one-stop, intelligent trading services.

Earlier, Eddid Securities and Futures Limited ("ESFL"), subsidiary of the Group, received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission ("SFC") to uplift its license. This allows ESFL to offer virtual asset and related product distribution services to retail investors, making it one of the first brokers in Hong Kong to support both securities and virtual asset trading simultaneously. ESFL has also been appointed as a participating dealer for six of Hong Kong's first spot Bitcoin and Ether Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), providing direct subscription and redemption services as well as Hong Kong's first virtual asset spot ETF margin financing service. This enables investors to use related ETFs as collateral to enhance investment efficiency and operational flexibility.

The introduction of virtual asset trading functionality not only marks a significant milestone for Eddid Financial in integrating virtual assets with traditional finance but also further consolidates the Group's leadership position in the industry. The Group will continue to enhance its financial services, bringing a safer and more convenient new investment experience to its clients.
