The global economy is in chaos, and geopolitical stability is also lacking, making gold the 'stabilizing force' in everyone's mind. Today, Antalpha announced a collaboration with the official member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and precious goods custody expert Malca Amit to launch a service in Hong Kong that allows for the exchange of Tether Gold (XAU₮) digital gold and physical gold at any time. In just five months from July 2025 to now, the market value of XAU₮ has skyrocketed from $800 million to $2.2 billion, showcasing a growth rate that feels like riding a rocket, indicating that the way of holding gold is rapidly transitioning from traditional physical storage to the digital era!
Top-level security assurance: Backed by the LBMA system, physical gold exchange is as stable as a mountain
Antalpha and Malca-Amit, this duo, has provided double insurance for the physical gold portion of XAU₮. They are also discussing creating a gold backup reserve, so in case the physical gold is insufficient, it can be replenished immediately, providing double protection for greater peace of mind. Malca-Amit is a formal member of the LBMA, fully ISO certified, and their facilities are authorized by the London Clearing House, with weight testing at an authoritative level.
Antalpha's gold strategy: Creating a 'tumbler' for digital gold
Tether Gold (XAU₮) is the protagonist of this exchange revolution, backed by Antalpha's gold strategy. Like Bitcoin, gold is scarce and resilient, maintaining value regardless of economic conditions. In recent years, Antalpha has been deeply involved in the XAU₮ ecosystem, engaging in market making, liquidity aggregation, and collateralized lending, all to invigorate gold assets and enhance market liquidity. They are now building physical vaults in global financial centers, linking custodians, trading platforms, and financial institutions to create a 'physical + digital' gold ecosystem.
Gold Exchange Accelerated: From weeks to 1 day, efficiency is top-notch
Antalpha's institutional clients can now directly buy XAU₮, and after completing KYC, they can book physical gold exchange. With Malca-Amit's vault and logistics support, the whole process only takes T+1 working days, and gold can be picked up at designated locations in Hong Kong. Antalpha's CFO Paul Liang said, "Previously, the cost of physical gold trading was high, and there were concerns about safety and liquidity. Now we are partnering with top LBMA partners to create a comprehensive solution that is both convenient and safe."
Starting from December 12, Antalpha will also provide qualified institutional clients with bulk physical gold exchange services for XAU₮ (starting from 2 kilograms), with stablecoin payment settlement supported. Asian investors can pick up gold directly in Hong Kong and also choose armored transport to safely deliver gold to designated locations. Malca-Amit's global vault network also lays the foundation for expanding redemption services worldwide in the future.
However, it should be noted that this service involves VA and precious metal trading, and there are market fluctuations, custody, and regulatory risks that could arise. Investors should still consult professional advisors for clarification.
