In October 2024, Hong Kong's 2024 Policy Address proposed further advancing the coordinated development of its international financial, shipping and trading centres, with a view to building an international gold trading centre. In September 2025, the 2025 Policy Address was released, setting out measures to build a regional gold hub, including expanding gold storage facilities, encouraging gold merchants to establish refineries, developing a local central clearing system, diversifying investment instruments, and founding a gold industry association. In September 2026, Hong Kong's first Five-Year Plan explicitly proposed using gold as the point of entry for building a commodity trading ecosystem…
Taken together, these moves make one thing clear: Hong Kong's gold market is being repositioned—from a single trading venue in the past into a complete ecosystem encompassing trading, clearing, storage, delivery and ancillary services.
As the overall environment for precious metals trading continues to improve, retail investors are becoming increasingly familiar with precious metals trading, and a large number of people are looking to participate in gold and silver investment. Against this backdrop, the investment partnership model launched by Upway Global—the Affiliate Program—has entered the market's view and attracted considerable attention from investors.
The core purpose of the Upway Global Affiliate Program is to build an open, mutually beneficial cooperation platform that enables more partners interested in gold trading to share in the growth dividends of the gold market. The Affiliate Program is built around the core incentive mechanism of "Refer Friends to Earn Rebates": participants recommend the platform and invite friends to register and activate an account, or to fund an account and trade, in return for the corresponding commission income. For investors who wish to generate additional income from their personal networks, this cooperation model—low entry barriers, zero capital cost, no operational burden, and simple to operate—is highly attractive. This is the practical reason why the Upway Global Affiliate Program has drawn so much attention.
In the precious metals investment market, "invite friends, earn rebates" schemes are by no means uncommon, and investors are well aware of one thing before taking part: recommending a trading platform to people around you is, in essence, putting your own reputation behind it. Returns can be calculated, whereas the erosion of goodwill cannot be quantified. The reason why the Upway Global Affiliate Program has earned the broad trust of participants lies in the platform's proper credentials, and in its ability to provide a secure, stable trading platform together with a fair and transparent trading environment.
Since its establishment, Upway Global has consistently and strictly complied with Hong Kong's financial regulatory laws and regulations as well as industry standards, operating in a standardised and prudent manner under the strict supervision of the Hong Kong Gold Exchange. The platform holds a Class AA Membership Licence (No. 084)—the highest tier issued by the Hong Kong Gold Exchange—is a member of the Exchange's Gold Group, and has been awarded the Exchange's Recognised Delivery Bar Manufacturer Certificate. It is precisely because the platform's credentials stand up to scrutiny that participants in the Upway Global Affiliate Program can promote with peace of mind and earn with confidence.
Faced with the industry opportunities arising from the expansion of Hong Kong's gold ecosystem, the Upway Global Affiliate Program is well positioned to tap into incremental market space and allow partners to share in the dividends of industry growth. Finally, Upway Global would like to offer a friendly reminder: gold, as an important safe-haven asset, has long-term allocation value in its own right, but the gold market presents both risks and opportunities. Investors should enter the market with caution and invest rationally.
