According to information on the company’s website, from Aug. 1 to Aug. 31, 2024, new customers who meet specific criteria can benefit from various rewards, including substantial Bitcoin (BTC) bonuses. This initiative is designed to attract new investors and provide them with various incentives to start their trading journey.
The promotional offer is open to individuals 18 years or older who have never held a Futu HK brokerage account and have not deposited funds with Futu HK before Aug. 1, 2024. Additionally, participants must hold a Hong Kong resident identity card or an overseas passport.

Participants can choose from three rewards: a share of Alibaba, a HK$400 ($51) supermarket voucher, or HK$600 ($76) in Bitcoin (BTC). The rewards will be issued or credited to the account within ten trading days, 60 days after the event ends.
