Hong Kong's First Gold ETF Sees Strong Debut

Hong Kong's first gold ETF, issued by Hang Seng, debuted with a notable increase in value, trading at 17.41 HKD, marking an 8.81% rise. According to PANews, the Hang Seng Gold ETF holds physical gold, with all bars stored in designated vaults in Hong Kong. The ETF plans to introduce tokenized non-listed fund units, with HSBC serving as the tokenization agent. Initially, Ethereum will be used as the primary blockchain, with potential expansion to other public blockchains offering similar security and distributed ledger technology. Fund unit holders can subscribe or redeem tokenized units through qualified distributors, as these tokenized shares are not available for secondary market trading.
