[Hong Kong Treasury Secretary: Gold Can Serve as a Bridge Between Traditional Finance and New Finance] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on May 20, according to the *South China Morning Post*, Hong Kong's Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Christopher Hui, stated that gold could serve as a potential bridge between traditional finance and new finance. He emphasized that Hong Kong needs to provide more development opportunities for the digital asset market to support its sustainable growth. Hui also mentioned that, given the trend of 'integration' between traditional finance and innovative finance, Hong Kong has opted not to establish an independent regulatory body for digital assets. Christopher Hui noted that the market has already seen the coexistence of gold ETFs and blockchain-based tokenized gold products. Previously, HSBC and Hang Seng Investment launched Hong Kong's first tokenized unlisted Hang Seng Gold ETF category product on HashKey Exchange in April.
