According to BlockBeats, in discussions about real-world assets, gold tokenization is gradually gaining attention. As a global reserve asset, the custody and auditing system for gold is mature, but transparency and verifiability of information still need improvement.
On December 8, the journal (Crucible) published by the Singapore Bullion Market Association featured a research article by Matrixdock, exploring the application of blockchain technology in enhancing the verifiability of gold reserve information.
The research points out that gold reserve management relies on centralized custody and auditing, but there are limitations in the timeliness of information disclosure and the independence of verification. On-chain verification can enhance the verifiability of reserve status.
The article uses XAUm as an example to introduce three transparency mechanisms: bar-level identification information, on-chain disclosure of minting and redemption records, and independent third-party audits. Matrixdock's transparency framework provides a reference sample for the industry.
