On May 2, 2025, Singapore — Matrixdock, the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform under Matrixport, in partnership with the Tokenized Asset Coalition (TAC), released the first issue of the 'Focus Members' series report: (XAUm: Reshaping Gold Ownership through Tokenization).
This report uses Matrixdock's flagship product XAUm as a case study to deeply explore how industry drivers combine blockchain technology to address challenges such as gold storage transparency, gold reserve standards, capital inefficiency, and liquidity constraints, promoting the future financialization of gold investment through gold on-chain.
The report also reviews the core advantages of tokenized gold in multiple aspects and further analyzes the design concept of XAUm, demonstrating how Matrixdock is advancing trust, transparency, and practicality in the digital asset field, thus achieving a benchmark status for Matrixdock in the realm of real asset tokenization.
The XAUm token issued by Matrixdock is backed 1:1 by 99.99% pure gold certified by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and is stored in vaults in Singapore and Hong Kong by Brink's and Malca-Amit. Through independent third-party audits and real-time on-chain verification, XAUm provides holders with solid asset security and transparency assurances.
In addition to the traditional value preservation function of gold, XAUm also unlocks diverse use cases for investors, such as on-chain collateralized lending and leveraged trading, increasing capital efficiency while providing users with the option to redeem physical gold, integrating the attributes of risk hedging, investment, and DeFi's diverse gameplay.
Eva Meng, head of Matrixdock, stated, 'We firmly believe that asset tokenization is the trend of the new financial future, and this trend urgently requires a new set of asset ownership standards. Matrixdock hopes to work hand in hand with industry partners like TAC to jointly promote and establish this standard. Based on our practice with XAUm, we deeply understand that a reliable new standard for gold ownership must be built on the three pillars of extreme transparency, reliable security, and strict quality control. Matrixdock aims to transform more real-world assets, including gold, from static assets into productive assets and to extend this capability and value to a broader public.'
The Tokenized Asset Coalition (TAC), which launched the 'Focus Members' program, currently has 44 member institutions and spans a market of over $100 billion. TAC hopes to demonstrate to the market how tokenization technology can truly bring benefits to the real world through this program.
TAC Executive Director Johnny Reinsch stated, 'The key issue with tokenization is not whether it is effective, but when and how it can work best. XAUm has proven that this technology can even revitalize ancient assets, making gold investment easier to access, more programmable, and more productive for modern investors.'
Matrixdock will continue to promote blockchain financial innovation by enhancing the transparency, accessibility, and efficiency of real-world assets, driving the widespread adoption of tokenized assets, and continuously providing the market with more innovative products.
