On May 2, 2025, Singapore — Matrixdock, a real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform under Matrixport, together with the Tokenized Asset Coalition (TAC), released the first "Focus Member" series report: "XAUm: Reshaping Gold Ownership through Tokenization".
The report uses Matrixdock's flagship product XAUm as an example, deeply exploring how industry drivers are combining blockchain technology to address challenges such as gold storage transparency, gold reserve standards, low capital efficiency, and liquidity constraints, thereby promoting the future financialization of gold investments through on-chain gold.
The report also comprehensively reviews the core advantages of tokenized gold categories and further analyzes the design philosophy of XAUm, demonstrating to the industry how Matrixdock is driving trust, transparency, and utility in the digital asset domain, thereby establishing its benchmark position in real-world 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 stored in vaults located 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 guarantees.
Beyond the value preservation function of traditional gold, XAUm also unlocks diverse use cases for investors such as on-chain collateralized lending and leveraged trading, improving capital utilization while offering users the option to redeem physical gold, integrating hedging attributes, investment attributes, and DeFi multi-dimensional gameplay.
Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock, stated, "We firmly believe that asset tokenization is the trend of future new finance, and this trend urgently needs a new set of asset ownership standards. Matrixdock hopes to work with industry partners like TAC to jointly promote and build this standard. Based on our practice with XAUm, we deeply understand that a trustworthy new gold ownership standard must be built on three cornerstones: 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 extend this capability and value to a broader audience."
The Tokenized Asset Coalition (TAC), which launched this "Focus Member" program, now has 44 member institutions and radiates a market exceeding hundreds of billions of dollars. TAC hopes to demonstrate through this program how tokenization technology can truly bring benefits to the real world.
Johnny Reinsch, Executive Director of TAC, said, "The key issue with tokenization is not whether it is effective, but when and how it can perform at its best. XAUm proves that this technology can even revitalize ancient assets, making gold investments more accessible, programmable, and productive for modern investors."
Matrixdock will continue to drive blockchain financial innovation, promoting the widespread adoption of tokenized assets by enhancing the transparency, accessibility, and efficiency of real-world assets, and continuously providing more innovative products to the market.
