"I've been in the gold trading industry for over 40 years. I've witnessed the evolution from floor-to-ceiling bidding to a single mobile phone completing all transactions. I've seen the Hong Kong dollar pegged to the US dollar, Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the birth of the airport gold vault, and now the development of digital gold. Hong Kong's gold industry has truly kept pace with the times, moving forward step by step, which is why it has gained international recognition and credibility today," recalled Anderson Cheung, a veteran in the gold industry.

The Hong Kong Gold Exchange ranks fourth globally in gold trading volume. Since its establishment in 1910, it has continuously innovated its products and services, laying a solid foundation for Hong Kong as an "international gold trading center."

Hong Kong Gold Exchange Chairman Haywood Cheung stated, "The Hong Kong Gold Exchange is Hong Kong's first governing body for gold trading. Inheriting the century-old experience of the Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society, and leveraging the advantages of seamless blockchain trading, it will further facilitate the circulation of both physical and digital gold. We will introduce more international gold dealers and refiners as members, enhancing the acceptance of product standards such as 99 gold, Hong Kong dollar kilogram gold bars, and RMB kilogram gold bars, while also meeting the diversified investment needs of the mainland and consolidating Hong Kong's role as a bridge between the international gold market and mainland capital."

Hong Kong has a history of over a century in gold trading, having weathered the test of time and gathered a group of elite leaders in the gold industry ecosystem. This foundation, coupled with the advantage of being backed by the motherland, forms a solid basis for rebuilding Hong Kong as an "international gold trading center." Chairman Haywood Cheung added, "Therefore, Hong Kong must align with national strategies and promote cooperation with international and neighboring countries in the fields of technology, green finance, and professional services."
