OCBC and Lion Global are listing their $669 million gold fund on Ethereum and Solana.
OCBC Bank, asset management firm Lion Global Investors , and digital asset platform DigiFT have officially launched one of the region's most notable RWA products: a Tokenize physical gold fund called GOLDX.
This is the first on-chain gold fund in Southeast Asia, deployed on two major blockchains, Ethereum and Solana , marking a significant step in connecting traditional finance with DeFi.
Physical gold Tokenize : Bridging TradFi and DeFi
GOLDX allows institutional and qualified investors to access physical gold through Token on the blockchain. Users can:
- Register to invest using fiat currency or stablecoin.
- Receive Token directly into your blockchain wallet.
- Convert back to fiat currency or stablecoin when needed.
This model offers a combination of the transparency and high liquidation of blockchain technology with the assurance of value from real-world assets.
Specifically, GOLDX provides on-chain access to a physical gold fund managed by Lion Global – a fund backed by real gold and securely stored in Singapore.
A size of $669 million and strong growth.
The gold-backed fund has reached a size of approximately SGD 669.4 million (equivalent to over USD 525 million) just a few months after its launch, demonstrating strong demand for safe-haven assets amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty.
This rapid growth reflects the trend of Asian investors seeking safe-haven assets while expanding into new investment forms such as real asset Tokenize (RWA).
Legal framework and guarantees transparency.
A notable aspect of the project is that the entire structure is operated within an environment regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore .
The three participating parties, OCBC, Lion Global, and DigiFT, are all licensed organizations, ensuring:
- Organizational risk management
- Assets are verified transparently.
- Fully comply with legal regulations.
This makes GOLDX one of the rare RWA products that combines both decentralization and organizational security.
The RWA wave and stablecoin inflows
The launch of GOLDX comes amidst a booming market for real-valued asset Tokenize . Many Web3 investors, particularly family funds and wealthy individuals, hold significant amounts of stablecoins that are not yet effectively utilized.
Bringing gold – a traditional asset – onto the blockchain opens up opportunities:
- Leverage the "idle" flow of stablecoin Capital .
- Improve asset allocation efficiency.
- Connecting the traditional financial ecosystem with Web3
Singapore continues to lead the digital asset trend.
This move also strengthens Singapore 's position as a global hub for digital asset innovation. The country is actively promoting solutions that combine blockchain and traditional finance to enhance market efficiency and create new economic value.
The fact that OCBC and Lion Global are bringing their gold funds to Ethereum and Solana is not just a new investment product, but also a clear indication that:
- Real asset Tokenize (RWA) is entering a mature phase.
- Large financial institutions are beginning to embrace blockchain.
- The lines between TradFi and DeFi are becoming increasingly blurred.
In the future, models like GOLDX could become the new standard, helping investors access traditional assets in a more flexible, transparent, and efficient way.
