Hong Kong’s largest online brokerage, Futu Securities International, has launched cryptocurrency trading for its 22 million customers.

Futu Securities has launched Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ether ( ETH ) trading for Hong Kong-based users of its platform.

This makes Futu Securities the first online brokerage to directly offer cryptocurrency to Hong Kong-based retail investors, according to a report by the South China Morning Post.

The decision — which could bring new capital for the world’s two largest cryptocurrencies — comes during an uptick in investor interest in cryptocurrency. It comes a week after the launch of the  first spot Ether  exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States, which debuted for trading on July 23.

Showcasing the growing investor interest, Bitcoin’s open interest hit a record high of $39.4 billion on July 29, increasing expectations of an imminent price breakout.
