Matrixdock on Tokenized Gold: Unlocking Possibilities
Amid rising global uncertainty and surging demand for physical gold, XAUm, Matrixdock’s physically backed gold token, emerges as a next-generation tool for owning and utilizing gold in modern wealth management.
Key takeaways:
XAUm = Physical Gold + Digital Access
Fully backed by 99.99% LBMA-accredited gold, XAUm gives investors direct ownership of gold stored in top-tier vaults (Brinks and Malca-Amit). Each token represents one troy ounce and is physically redeemable for just 1 kilogram.Programmable Ownership for Intergenerational Wealth
XAUm supports a non-fungible token (NFT) format that corresponds to a uniquely identified gold bar, complete with serial numbers and vaulting details recorded immutably on-chain. This enables clear, auditable inheritance planning, allowing families to pass on allocated gold bars across generations with record clarity and digital ease.Divisible. Transferable. Interoperable
XAUm tokens are also ERC-20 compatible, allowing for fractional ownership and seamless trading across DeFi platforms with no minimum transaction amount. Designed for cross-chain functionality, they can operate on multiple blockchains, offering greater versatility and full utility within an interoperable digital asset ecosystem.
Built for Asset Transparency
XAUm sets a new benchmark in gold investment transparency. It combines on-chain proof of reserves, quarterly third-party audits conducted by Bureau Veritas, and real-time public verification via blockchain explorers. This multilayered assurance framework is designed to meet the rising expectations of next-generation investors—delivering verifiable, auditable ownership in a world where trust must be earned, not assumed.
Capital Efficiency in DeFi
Integrated with partners like Kinza Finance, XAUm can be used as collateral, staked for yield, or traded against assets like BTC, transforming gold into an income-generating asset within decentralized finance ecosystems.Inclusive Liquidity & Global Access
XAUm lowers the barriers to high-quality gold investment. From sophisticated HNW portfolios to the grassroots of DeFi, tokenized gold invites broader participation and cultivates a truly global liquidity base.
