Day two of the LBMA/LPPM Global Precious Metals Conference in Sorrento put Asia's bullion ambitions center stage. Hong Kong's Christopher Hui detailed a new central clearing and settlement system — in trial operation since July 2026 — while Singapore's Lim Cheng Khai outlined MAS-led sovereign vaulting and OTC clearing plans.
The message from both: new Asian infrastructure is being built to connect with London and New York, not displace them. The conversation continues at the LBMA Asia Forum in Hong Kong on April 19–20, 2027.
