Backed by bars held in Hong Kong: hold and move gold in small units, and redeem it for a bar
Hong Kong, 9 November 2026
From today, users in Hong Kong and Singapore can buy, hold, transfer and sell ESPG digital gold[1] on espetopia.com. ESPG takes Hong Kong’s traditional gold instalment club online: users save in gold from about US$1, transfer ESPG between verified accounts in seconds, and redeem 100,000 ESPG for a 1 kg bar of 99.99% purity in Hong Kong.
ESPG is issued by Esperanza Fintech (Commodities) Limited, registered with Hong Kong Customs as a Category A dealer in precious metals and stones and permitted to issue, redeem and trade precious-asset-backed instruments. Its Singapore Branch, registered with Singapore’s Ministry of Law as a regulated dealer since 1 October 2026, now serves users in both jurisdictions.
Every unit is backed by reserve bars held at Brink’s in Hong Kong, and an independent CPA firm counts the vault every quarter against customer holdings. With the gold kept in Hong Kong and the service provided from Singapore, ESPG links Hong Kong’s gold infrastructure to ASEAN, in line with Hong Kong’s role as a super-connector.
The next step is settlement. Esperanza plans to prepare users for paying the group’s tokenised products, such as concert experiences, in ESPG.
“Digital gold products are multiplying, but their legal nature differs: some are fund units, some are bank investment products, some are virtual assets,” said Ronald Leung, Founder and Group Chief Executive Officer of Esperanza. “ESPG is a gold savings plan backed by bars in Hong Kong and registered in both Hong Kong and Singapore. Users know what they hold and where the gold is.”
