In the past few days, the global financial market has experienced a nearly indiscriminate downturn. In the context of a global financial crisis, gold often plays a role as a safe-haven asset and is an indispensable 'safety card' in an investment portfolio.

But to be honest, what I am most interested in lately is not hoarding gold bars, but seeing a new play: 66GOLD, the first gold-linked RWA project on Solana.

Does it sound like a gimmick? No, they are serious:

Behind it is a real physical reserve of gold, coming from the Mponeng gold mine in South Africa, one of the deepest gold mines in the world, directly pegged to gold.

Buy gold and get tokens; you read that right, buy 1 gram of gold and get 66GOLD. This isn’t a 'double kill', it’s 'buy gold and earn tokens', a sure-win.

And there’s a key point: the mine promises to use profits to buy back the tokens. With a buyback + deflationary mechanism, in simple terms, the tokens are not given away for free; they are bought back with profits to support the market value.

It’s somewhat like the BTC + mining rigs or ETH + AI trend back in the day, but this time it’s tangible gold + Solana + RWA.

Without mentioning anything else, there are very few Web3 projects that can catch this wave of gold—66GOLD is the one that is taking off.

66GOLD is still very early, and it’s worth keeping an eye out for some dividends.
