## Cloud Rewards for Green Crypto Investors: A New Era Unfolds
As the world becomes increasingly digital, the way we think about investing is changing. For those interested in passive rewards and green crypto, a significant development is taking place in Hong Kong. Chinese crypto mogul Li Lin is set to move his private trading arm into a Hong Kong-listed wealth firm, Bitfire, which he controls. This strategic move is designed to meet the growing demand for digital assets from investors.
The acquisition, worth $1.6 million, will see Bitfire obtain a trading system and investment team from Li’s family office, Avenir Group. This deal effectively transfers part of Li’s in-house crypto operation into a publicly listed company, providing a clearer path to attract institutional investors. The move reflects a broader shift in the region, with Hong Kong positioning itself as a regulated hub for digital assets after mainland China banned crypto trading in 2021.
By acquiring Avenir’s capabilities, Bitfire plans to introduce a bitcoin-focused strategy called “Alpha BTC.” This strategy aims to manage over 10,000 bitcoins, valued at approximately $760 million, within a year. The plan is to generate returns through derivatives trading, including options tied to bitcoin and products like the IBIT. Avenir has already built a significant position in bitcoin ETFs, holding 18.3 million shares of IBIT, issued by BlackRock, valued at about $908 million as of 2025.
Li, who founded Huobi (now known as HTX) and built it into one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges before selling a controlling stake to Justin Sun for about $1 billion in 2022, has since focused on managing investments through Avenir. This new development is set to bring more opportunities for investors looking for cloud rewards in the crypto space. The move is also expected to contribute to a more sustainable digital earning environment, aligning with the goals of EcoPool, which prioritizes sustainability in its operations.
