Futu Securities International (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. has officially introduced deposit services for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT), marking a significant step in bridging the gap between digital and traditional finance.
Through the Futu Niu Niu trading platform, qualified investors can now deposit these cryptocurrencies and seamlessly trade across a wide spectrum of financial products.
The platform already supports a diverse range of traditional assets, including Hong Kong, U.S., and Japanese equities, options, ETFs, bonds, and funds.
The development positions Futu as one of the first mainstream financial institutions in the region to fully integrate cryptocurrency deposits within a multi-asset trading ecosystem.
Addressing Market Gaps by Unifying Traditional and Crypto Finance
The launch directly addresses a longstanding gap in the financial landscape: the disconnect between crypto trading platforms and traditional finance.
While typical crypto platforms operate in isolation, focusing solely on digital assets, conventional financial institutions have struggled to implement the necessary compliance, custody, and operational mechanisms to support crypto securely.
Futu’s new feature resolves this fragmentation by allowing users to move effortlessly between virtual and traditional markets.
The innovation not only simplifies the investment process but also enhances the utility and reinvestment potential of crypto holdings within the broader financial system.

The all-in-one structure allows users to manage and diversify their portfolios efficiently without switching between platforms.
The introduction of crypto deposit services aligns with Futu’s broader strategy of becoming a leading multi-asset investment hub in Asia.
Future enhancements include the development of withdrawal capabilities and expanding support to other mainstream cryptocurrencies, further reinforcing its commitment to innovation and cross-market accessibility.
