Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL), a next-generation gold development and technology firm has launched global pre-registration for the Standard Gold Coin (SGC), a digital token fully backed by physical gold and powered by the company’s upcoming Blue Gold One App, a fully integrated gold-backed digital finance platform.
Merging physical gold with fintech innovation
As global gold trading volumes surged to a record US$329 billion per day in the first half of 2025, the move highlights how digital transformation is reshaping one of the world’s oldest asset classes.
Blue Gold aims to bridge the gap between traditional gold ownership and modern financial accessibility by creating a digitally native gold currency.
Each Standard Gold Coin (SGC) will be backed 1:1 by audited, vaulted gold reserves, safeguarded under an independent trust structure to ensure full transparency, redemption capability, and investor protection.
“Our mission is to modernize gold making it as easy to use, trade, and transfer as any digital asset, while maintaining the security and intrinsic value of physical gold,” the company said in a statement.
Why it matters
Blue Gold’s initiative positions it at the intersection of precious metals and blockchain technology, a trend gaining traction among investors seeking asset-backed digital alternatives to stablecoins and fiat currencies.
The Standard Gold Coin also arrives amid growing institutional interest in real-world asset tokenization, with gold-backed tokens viewed as a stable and inflation-resistant bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.
