This move dramatically bridges traditional finance (TradFi) with the digital asset world by focusing on two key pillars: tokenized gold assets and Bitcoin mining infrastructure, as Coinidol.com reports.
DL Holdings Group Limited (HKEX: 1709), a traditional financial services group, announced a comprehensive strategic partnership with digital asset financial services leader Antalpha to launch a dual-track strategy valued at up to $200 million.
Tokenized gold: bridging physical and digital
According to the announcement from the Media OutReach Newswire, the first pillar involves a significant push into tokenized gold, specifically Tether Gold (XAU₮). DL Holdings plans to acquire and distribute up to $100 million in XAU₮ over the next twelve months, with an initial investment already underway. This strategy aims to provide both institutional and retail investors with convenient, on-chain access to physical gold through traditional channels like brokerage accounts and structured products.
This tokenization effort capitalizes on gold’s strong performance as a safe-haven asset, which has surged over 50% year-to-date amidst persistent global inflation and geopolitical tensions. The tokenized gold market has already surpassed $3 billion in market capitalization globally as of 2025, with XAU₮ accounting for nearly 50% of that segment.
Antalpha will support this by offering liquidity, custody, and collateralized lending services for XAU₮ through its Real-World Asset (RWA) Hub platform. They will also establish physical vaults in major financial centers to streamline the gold redemption process, directly connecting the digital token to its physical backing. DL Holdings, leveraging its licensed status in Hong Kong and extensive distribution network, will act as a strategic partner for XAU₮ across the Asia-Pacific region.
Bitcoin hashrate expansion
The second, equally substantial pillar is a $100 million investment in Bitcoin mining infrastructure over the next year. DL Holdings has already procured high-performance mining machines and formed a strategic alliance with Antalpha to execute this expansion. The current operational capacity is expected to yield approximately 350 BTC annually, with the medium-term goal being around 1,500 BTC per year.
This dual strategy signifies a crucial trend: traditional financial players are not only accepting digital assets but are actively integrating them into their core business models, viewing Bitcoin mining as a foundational asset and tokenized gold as a mechanism to modernize wealth storage and circulation.
