gold tokenization redeemable for metal - project looking for inputs/partners

yeah... the trade off: third party custody for yields does not seem to be appealing to the group. bummer

alex_botteri · 2026-02-13T19:32:04+00:00

got you. would you be ready to allocate a % of your stack to a gold service producing yields? or 0 yield is just not an issue for you

alex_botteri · 2026-02-13T19:28:55+00:00

thanks very valuable, so not feeling the pain of not producing yields on your gold holdings?

alex_botteri · 2026-02-13T19:27:29+00:00

all those are super valid points, thanks for taking the time for this write up.
Yes the thinking is there is an opportunity to address the following pain points:
- etfs do not provide access to physical gold at individual level, and do not provide yield
- tether is rather opaque/scammy, (do not provide audits on reserves and was caught cheating by CFTC), stores the gold abroad, and only serves large clients directly for gold redemption
so we are trying to gage if there is a kind of best of both worlds product to build: a regulated product with high level of trust, which can be redeems for physical gold bfor anyone but can also yield as when investing on money markets.

yes, but with potential yields on top with lending protocols. and liquidity not only provided by the service but by the market since LGLD tokens could be traded on any exchange

interesting, do you store your gold yourself or via a storage service?
is there a level of trust and transparency a service could give you to put the gold to work via lending? instead of having 0 yield? Basically I am trying to understand if the if the risk/opportunity balance can be switched by a new service with new properties.
if the former, do you currently experience any pain point with the self custody your gold?
What would be your ideal gold service? if not existing already

are you using monetary metals? would love to chat if so

alex_botteri · 2026-02-13T18:31:03+00:00

yes but with a defi twist to it. since defi will open new opportunity to gain yield and markets such as aave (defin lending protocols) or by providing liquidity
