10 Jul,2026

Recently, PointGold International Limited, a member enterprise of the China Precious Metals Industry Committee  (CPMIC), has officially obtained the qualification as a market maker for gold products on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) and launched on-exchange liquidity provision services. This marks a major breakthrough for PointGold International in precious metals derivatives services, and also serves as an iconic milestone of China’s precious metals sector’s deep engagement in the development of international financial markets and its strengthened capacity to influence global precious metals pricing.

Market maker accreditation is a key benchmark for evaluating a financial institution’s comprehensive trading and risk management capabilities, imposing stringent requirements on firms’ algorithmic trading proficiency, dynamic position management expertise and cross-border compliance frameworks. Due to its long-standing expertise in physical precious metals trading, PointGold International completed a full set of preparatory work including cross-border transaction pipeline construction, extreme market stress testing and compliance adaptation, securing official authorization from HKEX. This achievement not only attests to PointGold International’s robust strengths spanning fintech and precious metals businesses, but also fully demonstrates remarkable progress made by leading Chinese precious metals enterprises in international operation, derivatives deployment and refined risk management, setting a benchmark for industry peers.

CPMIC commented that PointGold International’s strategic layout perfectly aligns with the opportunities brought by the Shanghai-Hong Kong Gold Connect scheme. It will advance the synergy of price discovery and risk management functions across the two gold markets, offering industrial clients a full-service ecosystem covering trade execution through risk hedging, carrying significant exemplary value for the whole industry.

PointGold International’s experience further validates that proactive integration into mainstream international markets and enhanced proficiency in derivatives tools represent an inevitable path toward high-quality development for China’s precious metals industry. As an industry self-regulatory organization, CPMIC has long strived to help its members upgrade professional expertise, broaden global vision and strengthen compliance awareness.

Moving forward, CPMIC will continue to act as a vital bridge and collaborative platform. It will keep close track of and support PointGold International as it leverages the Shanghai-Hong Kong Gold Connect mechanism to deepen its participation in liquidity development for Hong Kong’s offshore gold market. Meanwhile, CPMIC will summarize and promote Dianjin International’s best practices in cross-border trading, risk management and derivatives application. The committee will guide more member enterprises to boost their comprehensive service capacity in global precious metals markets, jointly contributing to greater opening-up and high-quality growth of China’s precious metals sector.
