As Regulators Open the Door to Tokenized Assets, One Gold Token Is Unlocking $20 Trillion in Reserves

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce—a longtime crypto advocate—told attendees at the Digital Assets Summit in Singapore on Tuesday that the commission is "willing to work with people who want to tokenize" and urged firms to come forward.

It's not a policy shift. But it's a signal—and one gold-backed token has been building infrastructure to capitalize on exactly this shift.

NatGold is building infrastructure to unlock the world's $20 trillion in hidden gold reserves without mining a single ounce—and for a limited time, investors can secure early access before global trading begins.

Over 15,000 investors across 100+ countries have already reserved $137 million worth of tokens—before NatGold lists on any exchange.

Why Tokenization Matters Now

Peirce's comments come at a moment when financial institutions worldwide are racing to tokenize everything from stocks to bonds to real estate. McKinsey projects the tokenized asset market will hit $2 trillion by 2030. RWA.xyz puts the current market at $31 billion.

But gold—the oldest store of value on earth—remains largely untouched by blockchain.

That's the gap NatGold is filling. And right now, early participants can reserve tokens at a 10% discount—but only for the first 10,000 reservations.

Bitcoin Was the Prototype. NatGold Completes the Mission.

Bitcoin exposed the system's corruption and proved people were ready to opt out of fiat. But it lacked intrinsic value, price stability, and environmental alignment.

Gold offered permanence, but lacked digital utility and scalability—and carried massive environmental and social costs.

NatGold merges the best of both—without the tradeoffs.

This isn't a mining company. It's not an ETF. It's not another speculative crypto.

It's a crypto commodity—the first of its kind—backed by real, certified gold in the ground, secured by blockchain, and built on 11 patents pending.

The Metamorphosis: From Ground to Blockchain

Before it becomes NatGold, it's still just gold in the ground. Real. Valuable. But burdened by everything required to realize it the old way: diesel-powered machinery, environmental destruction, social displacement.

But once digitally mined, something extraordinary happens.

No excavation. No pollution. No vaults. No dilution from fees, logistics, or slow-moving legacy systems.

The essence of gold—its trust, its scarcity, its permanence—remains. But now it fuses with blockchain to become something more powerful. Something that moves, scales, and soars.

• No diesel rigs
• No storage fees
• No environmental disruption
• Communities included, not displaced
• Just real, certified gold—digitized and minted to the blockchain

Digital Mining: How It Works

NatGold digitally mines value from proven reserves—unlocking gold's worth without ever disturbing the ground.

Here's how:

1. Gold is verified in the earth under trusted global geological standards (NI 43-101, JORC, S-K 1300)
2. NatGold digitally mines the gold, tokenizing its intrinsic value without extraction
3. Tokens are minted to the blockchain, backed by geology, immune to inflation, and tradable worldwide
4. Investors hold real value—without intermediaries, vaults, or risk of dilution

This process is cleaner than mining, faster than refining, and far more scalable than Bitcoin.

Each NatGold token is priced at its Baseline Intrinsic Value—the pre-market cost of gold in the ground, calculated by subtracting the global average cost to mine and vault an ounce from the current spot price. That's the floor. Before premiums, speculation, or Wall Street demand drives it higher.

Early investors aren't just speculating—they're getting verified value, at below-market pricing, with zero ongoing costs.

Backed by a former SEC Chief of Staff, veterans from Barrick Gold and Lazard, and security partners trusted by Visa and BNY Mellon, NatGold is led by seasoned professionals building infrastructure for a global monetary reset.

Built to Ride the $30.1 Trillion Tokenization Wave

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink—who oversees $10 trillion in assets—believes every financial asset will be tokenized.

NatGold is leading that shift in the gold sector—which remains the last major asset class not yet digitized.

Analysts expect over $30.1 trillion in real-world assets to be tokenized by 2034. NatGold is already live.

• Access to a $20 trillion resource
• Backed by real, proven reserves
• Digitally mined, environmentally neutral
• Protected by 11 patents
• Built for a post-fiat world

Gold is the oldest store of value. Crypto is the newest form of utility. NatGold is both—and it's already in motion.

Why Investors Are Acting Now

This isn't a pre-seed concept. This is a fully operational ecosystem with real demand—and it's moving fast.

• $137M+ in tokens reserved
• 15,000+ early adopters from 150+ countries worldwide
• 100,000 token reservation cap
• First 10,000 reservations get 10% off Baseline Intrinsic Value

Once the 10,000-token discounted tranche is filled, remaining reservations will only be fulfilled at the open market price.

And once the 50,000 reservation cap is hit—this exclusive early access disappears permanently.

Gold Needed Blockchain. Blockchain Needed Gold. NatGold Is Both.

For decades, gold investors had to choose: physical possession with storage costs and security risks, or paper proxies like ETFs that added layers of intermediaries.

Bitcoin offered an alternative—borderless, programmable, immune to central bank manipulation. But it lacked the one thing gold always had: intrinsic value rooted in something real.

NatGold combines both—the permanence of gold, the utility of blockchain, and none of the compromises.

This isn't speculation on what either asset could become. It's infrastructure built on what they already are.

And as regulators signal openness to tokenization and institutions prepare for a $30.1 trillion wave of digitized assets, NatGold is already operational—with 15,000 early participants and $137 million in pre-market demand.

But only 50,000 investors get access before the global market opens. And only the first 10,000 get a 10% discount off verified value.

Reserve your NatGold Tokens now before prices rise.
