Hang Seng Index futures close down 1.58% at 24,494

The tech-heavy gauge underperforming the broader index by a wider margin points to continued pressure on Hong Kong's growth and platform names rather than a uniform risk-off move. That divergence matters for crypto and RWA desks because Hang Seng Tech has become a proxy for Asian risk appetite, so its softer tone overnight may weigh on sentiment toward tokenized equity and Asia-linked digital-asset products. Whether the tech futures gap keeps widening relative to the main contract is the open question to watch.
