Hang Seng Launches Ethereum-Based Tokenized Gold ETF
Hang Seng Investment listed a physical gold ETF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with an optional tokenized class recorded on the Ethereum blockchain.
Hang Seng Investment debuted the Hang Seng Gold ETF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on January 29, 2026; reports reference the listing under ticker 03170 (also reported as 3170.HK) [1][4].
The fund is physically backed by gold and offers a conventional ETF class alongside a tokenized class of units recorded on the Ethereum blockchain, according to multiple reports [1][4][2].
Hang Seng plans to issue the tokenized units on public blockchains, but the tokenized class remains subject to regulatory approval and is not intended to trade on secondary markets, per reporting [3][1].
The product blends traditional commodity exposure with blockchain-based fund infrastructure and represents an early example of tokenized ETF products in Hong Kong [2][4].
