The Honourable Mrs. Regina Ip, Convenor of the HKSAR Executive Council, delivered the opening remarks. Her presence set a clear institutional tone for the evening. Dr. Haywood Cheung, Chairman of HKGX, also attended, alongside leadership from EX.IO and other industry participants.

During the event, GoldZip formally launched the Hong Kong Digital Gold Expansion Initiative. At the same time, it announced that $XGZ is now live on EX.IO, an SFC-licensed Virtual Asset Trading Platform.
- XGZ/USDT is available on both Orderbook and OTC for eligible Professional Investors.
- This creates a regulated local secondary market that combines HKGX’s physical bullion foundation with on-chain utility.
- Goal: move gold from an asset that can simply be held to one that is more convenient for trading and practical application.
