Futu claims its Hong Kong users accounted for more than 40% of the jurisdiction’s adult population, according to the firm, which added an average HK user spent approximately half an hour on the Futubull app each trading day.

The earnings report reveals that the number of users of the Moomoo and Futubull brokerage brands have increased by 20% YoY to 18.6 million.

Leaf Hua Li, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Futu, said: “Approximately 90% of our newly acquired paying clients in the second quarter were from the United States, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, and Australia markets, compared with 80% in the previous quarter. Our international expansion was sustained by catering unmet and diverse needs from global investors.”

“Our corporate and institutional services business and wealth management business both posted a strong performance in the second quarter as we commit ourselves to relentless product and service expansion driven by technology and operational excellence, together with a well-established market presence worldwide.”
