For centuries, gold was the benchmark for storing value: scarce, physical, and trusted. But in a digitized world where capital moves across borders in seconds, gold’s physicality has become a limitation.

It offers a new baseline: a form of “hard money” fit for the 21st century, accessible to anyone with a digital wallet, not only those with vaults or access to bullion markets.
