XAUm at Token49: When Gold Meets the New Generation of Finance

A Celebration of Innovation and Inclusion

During Token2049 week in Singapore, Matrixdock joined SuiFest, which was one of the most vibrant gatherings of Web3 builders, DeFi innovators, and real-world-asset pioneers.

Our booth quickly became a hub of energy and curiosity, where the timeless value of gold met the creativity of a new financial generation. Visitors were fascinated by the concept of programmable gold, not merely a digital representation of bullion, but a new infrastructure of value built for transparency, inclusion, and financial empowerment.

Gold Surpasses US$4,000: A New Era of Value Begins

As gold breaks above US$4,000, it reminds the world of its enduring power as a hedge against uncertainty. Amid heightened fears of USD debasement and global monetary realignment, investors are seeking stability in hard assets like never before.

Yet, access to investment-grade physical gold remains cumbersome and fragmented, especially in jurisdictions with less developed financial systems or rapidly depreciating local currencies. In many parts of the world, individuals resort to buying gold jewellery as a store of value, often paying 20–30% mark-ups and later suffering discounted resale values. This is an inefficient and costly way to preserve wealth for people who need it the most.

XAUm, Matrixdock’s tokenized gold, reshapes access to physical gold. By putting 99.99% LBMA-accredited gold on-chain, it levels the global playing field, allowing individuals to hold and trade the same high-quality gold with equal, secure, and transparent access.

Each XAUm token represents one troy ounce of physical gold stored in Brink’s and Malca-Amit vaults in Singapore and Hong Kong, fully verifiable on-chain through Matrixdock’s Gold Allocation Lookup Tool.

Gold Becomes Dynamic: Tokenization Meets DeFi

At SuiFest, visitors discovered firsthand how XAUm transforms gold from a static store of value into a dynamic, composable, and yield-generating asset within the DeFi ecosystem.

Through integrations with over 20 leading protocols, XAUm is now actively traded, staked, and used as collateral across lending markets and decentralized exchanges. This brings liquidity, yield opportunities, and grassroots participation to what was once a conservative asset class.

  • Grassroots Liquidity: Users can contribute to on-chain liquidity pools, participate in lending and borrowing protocols, and potentially earn returns from rate differentials, all while interacting with tokenized, real-world gold.

  • Industry Leading Transparency: Every gold bar’s serial number, refiner, vault location, and token mapping are publicly verifiable, while Bureau Veritas conducts semi-annual physical audits. This dual-layer verification that combines on-chain proof of reserves with physical audits establishes a new industry benchmark for trust, transparency, and accountability in RWA tokenization.

Tokenization, in this case, isn’t just about putting gold on the blockchains, it’s about putting gold in motion.

The Matrixdock Team: Energy in Motion

SuiFest was also a celebration of people, the Matrixdock team whose creativity, teamwork, and technical excellence made our presence a success.


From live XAUm demos to hundreds of one-on-one conversations, every interaction captured the shared belief that finance can be both innovative and inclusive.

“Seeing the crowd’s reaction reminded us why we do this,” one teammate shared.

With Gratitude to the Sui Foundation and Its Vibrant Community

The conversations at SuiFest reaffirmed a powerful message: the future of gold is programmable, transparent, and inclusive and community is everything.

Since integrating with the Sui Network in August 2025, Matrixdock has tokenized 76 one-kilogram gold bars on-chain, representing nearly US$4 million in value within just two months.

We extend our deep gratitude to the Sui Foundation and its remarkable community. It is one of the most engaged and collaborative ecosystems among public blockchains.

Thank you for bringing global users together on-chain and for hosting such a successful, high-energy gathering that embodies the spirit of open innovation.
