Original Title: Hong Hao: Asset Allocation with ETH and BTC
Original Author: Hong Hao
In recent years, cryptocurrencies have begun to quietly rewrite the global financial landscape. Recently, with the acceleration of cryptocurrency regulation relaxation under the Trump administration, the revolution of the global financial monetary system has begun to accelerate. The two pillars of cryptocurrencies, Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC), have become the core and pillars of this revolution, starting to shine in the new global financial system. Recently, the United States passed the GENIUS Act, incorporating stablecoins into securities regulation. This law finally legalized stablecoins and established Ethereum's important position in the promotion and use of stablecoins.

Investors need to be cautious. The Hong Kong-listed Huaxia ETH ETF, including 3046.HK priced in Hong Kong dollars, 9046.HK priced in US dollars, and 83046.HK priced in RMB, can provide investors with convenient access to ETH, a potential future pillar of the cryptocurrency world. This is an ETF product approved by Hong Kong regulators and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, ensuring safety. Huaxia's two products have the best performance in terms of scale and daily average trading volume, with no liquidity concerns.
The US dollar, as a global reserve currency, occupies 88% of international transaction share and 58% of foreign exchange reserves, with a deep foundation. Stablecoins, ETH, and BTC are still unlikely to shake the dollar's dominant position. Stablecoins are mostly pegged to the US dollar, and the GENIUS Act requires a one-to-one reserve. Therefore, the expansion of the stablecoin market will increase global financial system's demand for US dollars. ETH carries stablecoin transactions, with each transaction requiring ETH fees, and even ETH-collateralized stablecoins (like Dai) are mostly pegged to the US dollar. This issuance and payment structure indirectly reinforces the dollar's position. Thus, BTC's impact as a value storage vehicle on the dollar's dominance is currently limited. Non-dollar-pegged stablecoins may form an independent ecosystem but will still be constrained by ETH's market value and the GENIUS Act's dollar-oriented approach, making significant progress difficult in the short term.
The global monetary system is quietly transforming under the push of cryptocurrencies. Ethereum's DeFi reshapes lending and trading, BTC fights inflation, and stablecoins enable low-cost cross-border payments. The Trump administration banned central bank digital currencies, strongly promoting private stablecoins on Ethereum, accelerating their adoption in unstable monetary regions, and challenging the traditional banking system. However, cryptocurrency volatility, security risks, and regulatory uncertainty remain potential issues. The crypto market is still small compared to global finance (100 trillion dollars) and may form a diverse system coexisting with the US dollar, stablecoins, and cryptocurrencies. Other countries' digital currencies, such as those from China or the EU, may divert the dollar's influence, but the dollar's stability and reputation make it difficult to be shaken in the short term.
In summary: Ethereum and BTC are like two pillars of the digital world: BTC is a vehicle for value storage, while Ethereum is a trading tool. The GENIUS Act gives stablecoins legitimacy, and stablecoin issuance using Ethereum as a settlement network will significantly boost ETH demand, potentially outperforming BTC by July 2025 and likely creating a new historical high. In the short term, stablecoin and cryptocurrency development will reinforce the dollar's dominance, while in the long term, it will promote a more open monetary system. Ethereum, BTC, and other cryptocurrencies should be an indispensable asset class for investors in this digital asset wave. On July 17, 2025, Huaxia Fund (Hong Kong) also launched a second batch of tokenized funds, including the Huaxia US Dollar Digital Currency Fund and Huaxia RMB Digital Currency Fund, together with the Hong Kong dollar digital currency fund approved in February, forming a complete tokenized currency fund series.
