Hang Seng Investment Management said in its prospectus that the Hang Seng Gold ETF is expected to start dealing on the SEHK Main Board at 9:30 a.m. Hong Kong time on Jan. 29, 2026, under stock code 03170. The same document also outlines an unlisted, tokenized-unit option that initially uses Ethereum as the primary blockchain.
Operationally, the structure splits distribution. Listed units trade in board lots of 50 units, while tokenized units are subscribed or redeemed via eligible distributors using whitelisted digital wallets, with daily reconciliation between book-entry registers and on-chain records. The prospectus adds that the manager does not intend to allow peer-to-peer transfer or secondary-market trading of these tokens.
On the asset side, the prospectus describes physical bullion custody in Hong Kong through designated vaulting and sub-custody arrangements and references the LBMA Gold Price AM for valuation. What to watch now is whether the 9:30 a.m. go-live is confirmed or postponed, with the prospectus flagging a backstop date of March 7, 2026.
