Digital Gold Price

DGLD differentiates itself from other tokens and traditional gold investment products through several distinct advantages:

• Swiss Heritage and Custody: Backed by MKS PAMP's 60 years of Swiss precious metals expertise, each token is backed by LBMA-accredited Good Delivery PAMP gold stored in insured, professional vaulting facilities in Castel San Pietro, Switzerland.
• Independent Bar-by-Bar Verification: Investors can track and verify the exact physical gold bar they own via a gold mapping tool and view its unique asset integrity certificate.
• No Custody or Management Fees: Unlike gold ETFs or traditional vaulting solutions, DGLD charges zero management and zero custody fees.
• Physical Delivery: Holders can request physical gold delivery for amounts as low as 1 gram.
• Instant 24/7 Settlement: Enables fractionalized, 24/7 trading with instant on-chain settlement.

The utility of the DGLD token encompasses several key functionalities:

• Digital Store of Value: Serves as a digital safeguard against monetary instability, systemic risk, and fiat currency debasement.
• 24/7 Trading and Transfers: Allows users to buy, sell, send, and trade fractionalized gold on-chain and across decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap (on Ethereum and Base via Aerodrome).
• Physical Gold Redemption: Enables token holders to redeem their digital tokens for physical gold delivery starting from as little as 1 gram.
• Holdings Verification: Allows holders to verify ownership, producer details, and gold quality directly using the asset integrity mapping tool.

DGLD was originally created by a consortium comprising CoinShares, Blockchain.com, and MKS PAMP (through Gold Token SA).

It was created to redefine gold ownership by combining the security and enduring value of physical, Swiss-vaulted gold with the convenience, speed, and liquidity of digital assets. Traditional gold investments are often detached from physical metal, burdened with fees, and face custody and storage hurdles. DGLD solves this by offering a simpler, safer, and cost-effective way to directly own physical gold on-chain without custody or management fees, while acting as a hedge against systemic risk and fiat currency debasement.

The DGLD token was officially launched on December 13, 2019 after more than two years of development.

DGLD can be used in several ways:

• Store and Hold Value: Store DGLD in a blockchain wallet as a digital proof of direct ownership of allocated, insured physical gold held in Swiss vaults, with zero custody or management fees.
• Trade and Transact: Buy, sell, and trade DGLD 24/7 with instant settlement on decentralized exchanges (such as Uniswap on Ethereum and Base, or Aerodrome) against pairs like USDC.
• Verify Gold Allocation: Use the gold bar mapping tool to input a wallet address or bar ID and view the asset integrity certificate for each physical gold bar.
• Physical Redemption: Request physical delivery of the underlying allocated gold starting from amounts as low as 1 gram.

Digital Gold can be bought on the SwissBorg app with just a few clicks. Download the app for Android or iOS and exchange cryptos instantly at the best price.

DGLD is available for purchase and trading against USDC on decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap (on both Ethereum and Base) and Aerodrome on the Base network. Additionally, DGLD was launched for trading on The PIT, Blockchain.com's exchange platform.

DGLD addresses the inefficiencies of traditional gold investment and the logistical burdens of physical gold ownership. While gold serves as a hedge against fiat currency debasement and systemic risk, traditional financial gold vehicles are often heavily intermediated, carry management fees, and separate investors from physical ownership. Conversely, holding physical gold directly presents hurdles like high storage costs, insurance, and limited liquidity. DGLD solves these issues by providing direct, allocated digital proof of ownership over Swiss-vaulted physical gold, offering 24/7 trading, zero custody or management fees, fractionalization, instant settlement, and physical delivery options.

DGLD is issued by Gold Token SA (GTSA), the tokenization arm of MKS PAMP, as a real-world asset (RWA) token backed 1:1 by physical, LBMA-accredited gold held in Swiss vaults. Originally created through a partnership between CoinShares, Blockchain.com, and MKS (Switzerland) SA, each DGLD token was created to represent 1/10th of a troy ounce of physical gold that is secured on-chain, verifiable bar by bar, and redeemable for physical metal.

DGLD provides instant settlement for transactions and is tradable 24/7 in fractionalized form. To facilitate transactions and expand accessibility, DGLD is deployed across blockchain networks including Ethereum, Solana, and Base, a Layer-2 blockchain developed by Coinbase.

DGLD is issued and managed centrally by Gold Token SA (GTSA), the tokenization arm of MKS PAMP. The legal and direct ownership structure of the underlying physical gold is governed and protected by Swiss laws and regulated under the VQF.

The vision for DGLD is to lead the adoption of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization by creating a modern, digitally spendable gold standard. Backed by MKS PAMP, DGLD aims to make gold investment simpler, safer, and fee-free by bridging physical Swiss-vaulted gold with the flexibility, instant settlement, and continuous liquidity of digital assets.
