Eddid Financial, together with 2WA, today announced that Eddid Securities and Futures Limited, a subsidiary of Eddid Financial (“Eddid”), has been appointed as a distributor of USDGO Plus SP, a segregated portfolio of PrimePlus SPC.

Under a distribution agreement with PrimePlus Asset Management Limited, the investment manager of USDGO Plus SP and a member of the 2WA group, Eddid will make interests in USDGO Plus SP available to professional investors in Hong Kong. Eddid is licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for Type 1 (dealing in securities) regulated activity (CE No. BHT550).

USDGO Plus SP is a USDGO stablecoin market-neutral strategy fund. It seeks to earn funding-rate income in digital asset markets by holding offsetting spot and perpetual futures positions, so that its returns do not depend on the direction of market prices.

"Eddid's appointment reflects how we intend to grow USDGO Plus SP: through regulated intermediaries that already serve professional investors and apply their own onboarding and suitability standards," said Eugene Cheung, CEO of 2WA. "A market-neutral strategy is only as useful as the access around it. Adding licensed distributors such as Eddid gives professional investors in Hong Kong another regulated route into the fund, and extends the role of USDGO as a settlement and liquidity asset."

"Our professional investor clients are increasingly looking for digital asset strategies that do not rely on calling the direction of the market," said Dr Ricky Yeung, Head of Virtual Asset at Eddid Financial. "USDGO Plus SP brings a market-neutral approach to that demand by seeking to capture funding-rate spreads in the crypto derivatives market. Furthermore, the fund offers daily subscriptions, redemptions and net asset value updates. We are pleased to make it available through our licensed platform, supported by the client onboarding and suitability standards our clients expect."
