Gold Exchange Enters the Digital Era: Antalpha Launches XAU₮ Physical Gold Exchange Service in Hong Kong
Driven by global macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, gold has reaffirmed its role as a core store of value. Antalpha has announced a strategic partnership with Malca-Amit, a leading custodian and LBMA member, to launch a seamless digital-to-physical gold redemption service for Tether Gold (XAU₮) in Hong Kong. Within just five months since July 2025, XAU₮'s market capitalization surged from $800 million to $2.2 billion, signaling a major shift toward digitized gold ownership.
The service leverages Malca-Amit’s LBMA-accredited secure vaulting infrastructure, which holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications. A backup gold reserve mechanism is also under discussion to enhance risk management.
Antalpha, an ecosystem partner of Tether Gold, is building a global digital-physical闭环 (closed-loop) ecosystem through market making, liquidity aggregation, and collateralized lending solutions. Institutional clients can now redeem physical gold—starting from 2kg—within one business day after completing KYC. The service supports stablecoin settlements and offers secure armored transport options.
This initiative aims to combine the liquidity of digital assets with the security of physical gold, addressing traditional inefficiencies and storage risks. Expansion to other global financial centers is planned.
