OSL Digital Securities (OSL), a regulated digital asset platform, will provide staking services for the Ether assets of China Asset Management (Hong Kong) for its ChinaAMC HK Ether ETF, following approval from the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC).
The staking of ChinaAMC (HK)’s Ether assets via OSL may commence on 15 May 2025.
This will enable investors to participate in the Ethereum blockchain protocol’s proof-of-stake rewards mechanism through a tightly regulated and transparent platform.
Staking the ETF’s underlying Ether assets transforms it from a passive investment product into an active participant in the Ethereum ecosystem. At the same time, the ChinaAMC Hong Kong Ether ETF maintains compliance standards.
Eugene Cheung, Chief Commercial Officer of OSL, emphasised,

“By simplifying access to ETH staking, this service significantly lowers the threshold to participating in Ethereum staking, allowing both institutional and retail investors to easily contribute to network security while earning rewards.”
ChinaAMC (HK)’s Ether ETF was launched in April 2024 as part of Hong Kong’s first wave of spot crypto ETFs. BOCI Prudential serves as the primary custodian and fund administrator of the fund.
OSL‘s appointment as a staking infrastructure provider leverages the company’s comprehensive regulatory credentials. This is built upon OSL’s recent partnership with Kiln, an enterprise-grade staking platform.
By combining Kiln’s institutional staking technology with OSL’s platform, the collaboration delivers a fully compliant staking solution that meets the requirements of ETF providers and institutional investors.
