Could you elaborate on the likelihood of Hong Kong approving spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH)? Given the region's position as a financial hub and its regulatory stance on cryptocurrencies, what factors would influence such a decision? Are there any indications from the regulatory bodies that such approvals are imminent? Additionally, what would be the potential implications for investors and the cryptocurrency market if Hong Kong does indeed approve spot ETFs for these digital assets?
