Hang Seng Gold ETF Lists in Hong Kong with Bank Redemption and Planned Digital Asset Platform Distribution
Hang Seng Gold ETF began trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Jan. 31 as the first physical gold ETF in Hong Kong allowing retail investors to redeem directly through banks, Caixin reports. Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau Secretary Christopher Hui said at the 19th Asian Financial Forum the ETF is also planning distribution through licensed digital asset trading platforms. Hang Seng Investment Management Director and CEO Rosita Lee said the ETF's tokenized, non-listed class is in final testing and is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2026 with access open to retail investors at a lower minimum investment, offering only USD-denominated units without physical gold redemption.
