Pundi X Labs and Scoin, South Africa’s largest physical gold coin exchange, have officially announced a strategic partnership. Companies have agreed to use blockchain to bridge the gap between the exchange of physical and digital gold. This measure was taken due to rising gold prices, which rose by more than 13% in May 2024 and reached record prices in history.
Digital gold tokens are a cryptographic representation of the value of gold. They are tied to physical gold reserves, allowing investors to own digital shares of gold. Blockchain technology lowers the deterrent and barrier to entry for the traditional investor, allows for easy buying or selling on a cryptocurrency exchange, increases data transparency and traceability, and provides strong protection against hacking or theft.
