In a groundbreaking initiative, Global Gold has introduced $GOLDN, a meme-powered scenecoin aimed at fostering a vibrant community around its innovative on-chain gold infrastructure. Officially launched in Sheridan, Wyoming, this new token seeks to enhance awareness of gold’s value in the modern financial landscape while also energizing discussions around gold as a viable asset.
According to Cole Chapman, the CEO of Global Gold, the traditional gold industry lacks a sense of community engagement, primarily revolving around ETFs and industry associations. With the advent of $GOLDN, Global Gold is determined to infuse fun and virality into the gold sector, positioning it as an appealing investment avenue for a new generation. "It’s pure. And it’s here to make gold cool again," Chapman stated.
Global Gold’s approach involves transforming physical bullion into a programmable digital asset, supported by a framework of on-chain proof of reserves, independent audits, and redeemability. With the $GOLDN token launch, the company is offering an accessible entry point for community members eager to participate in the gold-backed financial future as more core products are rolled out.
The launch of $GOLDN accompanies a broader strategy that includes several key products designed to revolutionize the gold market:
-
Global Gold Bars: These are jurisdiction-specific tokens that are fully backed by legally owned, allocated bullion, ensuring complete transparency and redeemability.
-
Global Gold Exchange: A dedicated platform aimed at fostering price discovery and liquidity in tokenized gold assets.
- Global Gold Vaults: These vaults enable self-custody solutions fortified by advanced guardian protections, structured to safeguard real-world assets.
To securely manage its assets, Global Gold has partnered with The Wyoming Reserve located in Casper, Wyoming. This facility has undergone independent audits from reputable firms, including Alfred H. Knight and FORVIS, ensuring that user ownership is preserved and preventing the risk of rehypothecation.
Chapman emphasized the enduring trust that gold has garnered over five millennia, noting that blockchain technology extends its reach into the digital realm. "$GOLDN acts as a community accelerant as we build a bridge between physical certainty and digital velocity," he mentioned.
The versatility of Global Gold’s offerings allows institutions to convert vaulted bars into liquid, composable assets suitable for various financial applications. Additionally, developers can access a non-fiat collateral primitive that resonates with mainstream audiences, while individual investors can acquire redeemable on-chain gold that enables rapid transactions.
With its comprehensive suite of services—Global Gold Bars, the Global Gold Exchange, and Global Gold Lending—Global Gold is poised to reshape the landscape of the gold economy, ensuring that reserves are 100% backed, legally allocated, and subjected to independent audits.
