HSBC Trials Quantum-Secure Tech for Tokenized Gold

HSBC has announced a successful trial of quantum-secure technology for buying and selling tokenized physical gold, a significant step in safeguarding financial applications from future quantum computing threats.
HSBC was the first global bank to offer tokenized gold to institutional investors using distributed ledger technology (DLT) and later expanded this offering to retail investors in Hong Kong through the HSBC Gold Token.
The trial also demonstrated interoperability between gold tokens using post-quantum cryptography (PQC), enabling safe movement of digital assets across ledgers and the conversion of HSBC's tokens into ERC-20 fungible tokens for enhanced distribution.

Governments hate gold

Do governments hate gold? The short answer is Yes.
Governments hate gold because they cannot print it, and it is difficult for them to control.
Because they cannot print it or easily control it, gold has little use to them during the never-ending schemes to tax and then redistribute wealth.
Legal tender laws mean that all taxes must be paid in fiat currency, not gold or silver (held in physical form).
Nothing but sponsored fiat currencies issued by the government is acceptable to pay debts and taxes.
