Solomon is the first licensed broker dealer in Hong Kong combining traditional, virtual assets trading and wealth management services into one app, marking a significant industry development. Innovatively, upgraded from the former one-stop electronic platform, Solomon Win, Solomon VA+ offers integrated financial services infrastructure designed to meet the evolving needs of next-generation and high-net-worth investors. Its launch coincides with increased institutional adoption of virtual assets in Hong Kong.

Key features of Solomon VA+ include:

Advanced Virtual Asset Trading: Cost-effective services for various virtual assets, including spot ETFs, with in-kind/cash subscription and redemption options, 24/7 trading, and real-time market data.
Bespoke Asset Management: Access to curated top-performing funds of international fund houses, and personalized investment advice.
Diverse Trading Options: One account to invest in international stocks, virtual assets, funds, bonds, options, warrants, ETFs, and more. Access multi-market trading in the US, Hong Kong, and Mainland China markets, as well as HK dark pool and US pre-market/after-hours trading.
Real-time Market Intelligence: Advanced portfolio analytics, risk assessment tools, asset allocation strategies, powered with institutional-grade market data, in-depth analytics, and expert insights for informed decisions.
Robust Security Infrastructure: Market-leading encryption, ongoing KYC monitoring, multi-factor authentication, and advanced threat detection systems.

With virtual assets uplifted licenses from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong, covering Type 1 (Dealing in securities), Type 4 (Advising on securities) and Type 9 (Asset management), Solomon offers a full spectrum of services for traditional and virtual assets to retail and professional investors. This accomplishment was followed by Solomon becoming one of the first three dealers participating in Hong Kong’s spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, solidifying itself as a market leader. Notably, Solomon ranks first in client holdings in spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs^[1]. These achievements underscore the company’s strategic vision and leadership.

Thomas Tam, Chief Executive Officer of SOLOWIN, commented, “Solomon VA+ represents a pivotal achievement in our strategic vision, effectively bridging traditional finance with the rapidly evolving virtual asset ecosystem, empowered with state-of-the-art technology supporting from Hundsun Ayers, as well as wealth management product solutions from Finloop.
