Cointelegraph reports that banking giant HSBC (NYSE:HSBC) has introduced its first local cryptocurrency services in Hong Kong. This includes making it possible for its customers to buy and sell exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). These specific ETFs are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, and include CSOP Bitcoin Futures ETF, CSOP Ethereum Futures ETF and Samsung Bitcoin Futures Active ETF. The aim of this development is to expand local users' exposure to cryptocurrencies in Hong Kong. Notably, the article indicates that this follows recent media reports suggesting in mid-June that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority pressured major banks to accept crypto exchanges as clients.
Riot Platforms, Inc. (NasdaqCM:RIOT) has entered into a long-term purchase agreement with MicroBT Electronics Technology Co., Ltd, a prominent manufacturer of Bitcoin miners with production facilities in the United States, wherein it has secured an initial order of 33,280 next-generation Bitcoin miners from the latter. Jason Les, CEO of Riot, said:
"These new models are among the most powerful and efficient miners ever made for Bitcoin mining and are designed and produced specifically for immersion cooling systems, such as those that will be used at our Corsicana Facility. These new miners will contribute an additional 7.6 EH/s to Riot's self-mining capacity when fully deployed and will further enhance our already strong fleet efficiency in advance of the upcoming Bitcoin halving."
Hut 8 Mining Corp. (NasdaqGS:HUT) has entered a hosting agreement for approximately 6,400 ASIC miners previously energized at its North Bay site. The agreement, according to the press release, "includes a 3-month initial term which will renew for successive one-month periods unless terminated by either party by providing 30 days' notice." The company's CEO, Jaime Leverton, commented:
"Relocating our miners will provide us with approximately 600 PH/s of additional installed operating capacity. Once the machines are energized, our total installed hashrate will increase to approximately 3.2 EH/s."
