Gilded is a financial technology company that digitizes physical gold investments, enabling users to buy, sell, store, and trade allocated gold bars using blockchain for ownership verification and functionality.[1][3][5] It serves financial advisors, family offices, individual investors, institutional investors, corporations, and governments, solving challenges like storage, insurance, authenticity, and liquidity by providing wholesale pricing, professional vaults (e.g., Brinks), and 24/7 access without the pooling risks of ETFs.[1][5] Formerly Digital Swiss Gold, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, Gilded sources ethically produced, LBMA-standard .9999 pure Swiss gold and has expanded partnerships, such as with FAB Private Banking (2024) and Emirates Skywards (2024), showing strong growth in private banking and loyalty programs.[1][5]
Note: Separate entities exist with similar names—one focused on enterprise crypto accounting and payments (now a Bitwave sub-brand, gilded.finance) and another on software—but the primary Gilded matching the "physical gold" tech profile is the gold platform.[2][4]
Gilded was founded in 2019 as Digital Swiss Gold in Miami, Florida, evolving into Gilded to emphasize its mission of making physical gold "functional" like digital assets via blockchain.[1][5] The core idea emerged from bridging traditional gold's stability with modern tech needs, addressing pain points in storage, verification, and tradability for a digital-native era.[3] Early traction included blockchain integration for secure, audited ownership and app development (iOS/Android) with serverless architecture, data automation, and AR visualization to build user trust.[3] Pivotal moments feature global expansion to Switzerland, UAE, and Jersey; Shariah compliance certification (2023); and high-profile launches like FAB's digital gold product (Oct 2024) and Emirates Skywards partnership (Jul 2024).[1][5]
Gilded rides the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) trend, where blockchain digitizes commodities like gold amid rising demand for stable, inflation-hedging alternatives to fiat and volatile crypto.[1][3][5] Timing aligns with post-2022 crypto winter recovery, ETF approvals (e.g., Bitcoin/gold ETFs), and institutional gold inflows, amplified by geopolitical instability and debasement fears. Market forces favoring Gilded include regulatory clarity for tokenized assets, Middle East growth (UAE partnerships, Shariah compliance), and private banking digitization.[1][5] It influences the ecosystem by pioneering "digital gold" standards, enabling seamless integration into portfolios, payments, and loyalty programs, thus accelerating RWA adoption beyond niche crypto circles.
Gilded is poised to capture tokenized gold's explosive growth as RWAs hit billions in TVL, with expansions into DeFi lending, yield products, and emerging markets like Asia/MENA. Trends like AI-driven analytics, CBDC interoperability, and climate-conscious sourcing will shape its path, potentially evolving it into a full RWA platform. Its influence may grow via more bank alliances and on-ramps for retail/institutional users, solidifying gold's role in hybrid finance—starting from its core promise of stable, blockchain-powered ownership in an uncertain world.[1][3][5]
Gilded has raised $770K in total across 1 funding round.
