Reading across from Robinhood’s experience, we see decent 5.4%/3.0% revenue upside for Futu/TIGR in 2027 from crypto brokerage biz, driven by 1) potential client asset mix shift towards cryptocurrency assets, which in Robinhood’s case has structurally been uplifted to form c.13%-15% of total client assets in recent years (from only 2% in 2020); 2) potential paying customer/client asset growth acceleration; and 3) potential crypto fee rate upside longer term, once Futu/TIGR have secured sufficient local crypto market share. </p><p>Crypto exchange monetization much more difficult in HK vs. US — despite it being harder to apply for a VATP /crypto exchange license in HK. This is mainly because most of the more lucrative revenue streams that made Coinbase a successful compliant crypto exchange in the U.S. (e.g., retail brokerage, staking revenue, stablecoin revenue) are not yet accessible for Hong Kong crypto exchanges (due to regulatory constraints and competition from non-licensed mainstream exchanges). Hence, HK-based crypto exchanges had to rely on the less-lucrative institutional biz instead (e.g., OTC crypto brokerage, B2B crypto infrastructure biz, and crypto custodian biz) for monetization.
