China Asset Management
Hong-Kong-based China Asset Management, with over $464.5 billion in assets under management, has launched its ChinaAMC Digital Gold ETF, which will start trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 29 May 2026. As Hong Kong's first fully-tokenized gold fund, this product converges one of the world's oldest stores of value with transformative blockchain technology, leading the Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization revolution in Asia.

The fund aims to track the LBMA Gold Price AM through full physical replication. All underlying holdings are LBMA Good Delivery bars with zero futures exposure. The fund's physical gold is safeguarded in institutional grade vaults in Hong Kong, backed by 100 per cent insurance coverage and held in partnership with Standard Chartered Bank. Serving as custodian for both the underlying bullion and the fund's digital tokens, Standard Chartered ensures that physical and on chain assets alike are protected to the highest global standards of security, compliance, and operational integrity. This native blockchain integration enables programmable, transparent, and fractional asset ownership, unlocking future capabilities of near-instant settlement, and 24/7 accessibility.

“The launch of the ChinaAMC Digital Gold ETF arrives at a pivotal moment for Hong Kong. By bridging traditional commodities with the Web3 ecosystem, we are actively supporting the Hong Kong Government's vision of establishing the city as both a world-class gold trading centre and a premier global hub for digital assets,” Tian Gan, CEO of ChinaAMC (HK) said,

Finloop, Marketnode
Hong Kong-headquartered Finloop Finance Technology Holding Limited, an AI-driven global one-stop Web5 (Web2+Web3) wealth technology platform, and Marketnode, Asia-Pacific’s digital market infrastructure (DMI) operator, have made a partnership. The collaboration will bring together Finloop’s fintech and real-world asset (RWA) capabilities with Marketnode’s DMI and tokenization expertise. Both parties will join forces in the Hong Kong and Singapore markets in areas such as financial product access, asset tokenization and market insights to create greater connectivity and compliant innovation across Asia’s financial ecosystem.

Three key areas will be explored:
Expanding cross-border product access: Marketnode will support Finloop in expanding financial product opportunities in Singapore, while Finloop will provide reciprocal support for Marketnode in Hong Kong, across fixed income products, funds, structured products and commodity-backed products.

Building tokenized asset connectivity: Finloop and Marketnode will use their strengths in infrastructure development in Hong Kong and Singapore respectively to build a compliant, interconnected ecosystem for digital assets and RWA tokenization.

Strengthening market intelligence: Exchange regional market insights, product suitability assessments and regulatory developments to support product innovation and improve decision-making efficiency.

“This collaboration marks an important milestone in Finloop’s expansion into the Singapore market,” Cai Hua, CEO of Finloop, said. “Marketnode’s infrastructure capabilities and network will help us better serve institutional clients while accelerating the deployment of our technology solutions. We look forward to leveraging our complementary strengths to support the growth of compliant and scalable cross-border RWA and wealth management services.”

“Tokenized finance will scale only when products can move efficiently across markets, platforms and investor networks,” Rehan Ahmed, CEO of Marketnode, added. “Our partnership with Finloop strengthens that connective layer between Hong Kong and Singapore, combining product reach with trusted digital market infrastructure to give institutions expanded and more secure access to the next generation of financial products across Asia.”

The partnership is expected to broaden access to financial products, deepen collaboration between Hong Kong and Singapore’s financial ecosystems, and advance the development of digital asset and wealth management infrastructure across Asia.
