Hang Seng Gold ETF plans to distribute through licensed digital asset platforms

The Hang Seng Gold ETF has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the first ETF in Hong Kong that allows individual investors to directly redeem physical gold from banks. The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, Eddie Hui, stated at the 19th Asian Financial Forum that the Hang Seng Gold ETF plans to be distributed through licensed digital asset trading platforms. Hang Seng Investment Management Director and CEO Li Peishan revealed that the Hang Seng Gold ETF tokenized non listed category is in the final testing stage and is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2026. The tokenized category will be open to retail investors with lower entry fees, only offering US dollar denominated shares, and no physical gold redemption option.
