HSBC’s tokenized gold investment marks the bank’s entry into the real-world asset tokenization market and the blockchain sector.

Definitely, [after HSBC’s gold token launch the bank may even undertake bigger projects](https://www.gate.io/post/CQQDFjYMQkpAQgghGxAdA19cWxgEDhkO0O0O/status/5176128 "after HSBC’s gold token launch the bank may even undertake bigger projects") in the blockchain industry, paving the way for other financial institutions to follow suit. HSBC’s initiative comes after the Hong Kong authority’s persistent calls for banks and other financial institutions to embrace digital assets, especially cryptocurrencies. Also, the authorities have been requesting financial institutions to offer their financial services to blockchain based firms. Through offering HSBC cryptocurrency the bank aims to capitalize on the value of gold and the benefits of the blockchain technology. More notably, HSBC has become the first Hong Kong bank to align with the government’s efforts to harness digital token to grow the economy and position the city as an innovation hub. Presently, retail customers can access the digital assets Hong Kong using HSBC's online banking and mobile app platforms. The bank introduced the HSBC tokenized assets program after getting approval of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong. As a fact, in November 2023 the SEC released guidelines for public offering digital products such as HSBC digital gold. The HSBC gold tokens are minted on the bank’s Orion blockchain. In November 2023 HSBC entered a partnership with Metaco, a Swiss-based crypto safe-keeping firm, to facilitate its entry into the cryptocurrency market Hong Kong. In a statement published by Scmp, Maggie NG, HSBC Hong Kong head of wealth and personal banking,[ said](https://www.scmp.com/business/banking-finance/article/3256859/hsbc-launches-tokenised-gold-retail-customers-hong-kong-government-pushes-publicly-accessible " said"), “We are proud that HSBC Gold Token, powered by HSBC Orion, is the first retail product in Hong Kong that is based on distributed ledger technology, as authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission.” ## Tokenized Gold’s Global Value Exceeds $1 Billion in 2023 Through the Hong Kong retail crypto investment HSBC has joined a sector that has other players like

Basically tokenization has many benefits that transcend across various asset classes. First off, tokenization helps to increase the liquidity of traditionally illiquid assets. This is because tokenization enables investors to buy fractional interests in the asset leading to an increase in its demand and a rise in cash inflow. Therefore, it becomes easier for investors to acquire assets that normally require much capital and often involve complex and lengthy buying processes. Also, tokenization enables investors to diversify their investment portfolios. As such, many retail investors are able to acquire assets that might be out of their reach. For example, it is difficult and expensive for average investors to buy gold. However, they can easily acquire tokenized gold available online. Since the tokens exist on the blockchain they are permissionless and available across borders. Tokenization also enables [real world assets](https://www.gate.io/price/view/real-world-assets-rwa "real world assets") like gold to be traded on various exchanges which unlocks opportunities for investors. In addition, asset digitization finance is accessible throughout the day since there are no time limits for trading. For example, investors can participate in digital gold trading around the clock. Also, the transactions of HSBC gold tokens and other digitized assets are secure, auditable and transparent as they are recorded on the public ledger. Such a system increases trust and confidence among investors and reduces the chance of fraudulent activities. Lastly, tokenization increases transaction efficiency since there is no need to complete cumbersome documents which consumes much time. As a result, it enables instant transaction finality. In all, if the current gold investment trends continue the total market capitalization of the RWA sector may [exceed $4 trillion by 2030](https://www.citigroup.com/global "exceed $4 trillion by 2030"). ## Conclusion HSBC has become the first bank in Hong Kong to offer gold tokens to retail investors. Its clients can access the tokens on its online banking and mobile app platforms. Tokenization of real world assets enables investors to diversify their investment portfolio. [Tether](https://www.gate.io/price/tether-gold-xaut "Tether") and [Paxos](https://www.gate.io/en/price/pax-gold-paxg/hkd "Paxos") are the leading issuers of tokenized gold. ## FAQs on Tokenized Gold ### Can gold be tokenized?
