Matrixdock Expands Gold Token XAUm to Solana, Bringing Institutional-Grade Tokenized Gold into the High-Performance Public Chain Ecosystem
- Core Viewpoint: Matrixdock, the RWA platform under Matrixport, has deployed its institutional-grade tokenized gold XAUm onto the Solana blockchain. This aims to leverage the characteristics of the high-performance public chain to transform gold from a static store-of-value asset into a programmable foundational asset capable of participating in DeFi activities, thereby supporting the on-chain financial market.
- Key Elements:
- XAUm is a leading tokenized gold project in Asia, where each token corresponds to 1 ounce of LBMA-standard physical gold, held by institutional custodians and supporting physical redemption.
- Solana was chosen primarily for its high throughput, low latency, and low cost, offering a superior environment for the large-scale deployment of RWAs and instant settlement.
- XAUm will be natively integrated into the Solana DeFi ecosystem, with initial liquidity deployed on Raydium and plans to expand into lending markets, with price oracles provided by Pyth.
- This move is part of Matrixdock's strategy, having previously served as the technical partner supporting the Kingdom of Bhutan in issuing its sovereign gold token TER on Solana.
- Matrixdock believes this initiative allows gold to circulate and be utilized more efficiently while maintaining its physical backing, positioning it as a reserve layer asset for on-chain finance.
Recently, Matrixdock, the RWA platform under Matrixport, announced that its gold token XAUm has been officially deployed on the Solana blockchain. This expansion signifies that institutional-grade tokenized gold is further entering the high-performance public chain ecosystem, providing more scalable infrastructure support for trading, liquidity management, and DeFi application scenarios.
XAUm is one of Asia's leading tokenized gold projects. Each token corresponds to 1 troy ounce of 99.99% purity physical gold that meets LBMA standards and supports physical redemption. The related gold is custodied in institutional-grade vaults and undergoes independent third-party audits.
Tokenized Gold Enters High-Performance Public Chain, Unlocking On-Chain Financial Use Cases
As the on-chain financial system gradually matures, market discussions are increasingly focusing on the long-term usability of assets within this system. Against this backdrop, tokenized gold is evolving from a static store-of-value asset into a foundational asset capable of participating in on-chain financial activities.
Solana, with its high throughput, low latency, and low transaction costs, provides a more suitable operating environment for the large-scale deployment of RWAs. Its near-instant settlement capability and high-frequency interaction characteristics enable gold to not only serve as a value storage tool but also to play roles in liquidity and reserve assets within the on-chain financial system.
Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock, stated: "The deployment of XAUm on Solana moves gold further from passive holding towards programmable financial infrastructure. High-performance blockchains allow gold to achieve more efficient circulation and use while maintaining full physical backing, which is a crucial step in modern asset issuance, verification, and application."
Native Integration with Solana DeFi Ecosystem, Balancing Physical Backing and On-Chain Liquidity
XAUm will be natively integrated into Solana's DeFi ecosystem, with initial liquidity deployed on Raydium for decentralized trading and liquidity provision, with plans to further expand into lending markets within the Solana ecosystem. Pyth will serve as the primary price oracle, providing price references for on-chain applications.
This architecture allows XAUm holders to utilize tokenized gold for collateral, accessing on-chain liquidity, and participating in diverse DeFi application scenarios, all while maintaining full physical gold backing and asset integrity. On the security front, the Solana smart contracts supporting XAUm have undergone independent audits by Accretion and Sec3, reflecting Matrixdock's requirements for institutional-grade risk management and on-chain security.
Lu Yin, Head of APAC at Solana Foundation, commented: "Solana has been designed from the outset to support the large-scale application of real-world assets. With the launch of XAUm, Matrixdock is introducing fully physically-backed, institutional-grade tokenized gold into the Solana ecosystem, enabling instant settlement, seamless DeFi integration, and meeting institutional requirements for security and composability."
It is worth noting that this is not Matrixdock's first deployment of a tokenized gold project on Solana. In late 2025, Matrixdock, as the tokenization technology provider, supported the Kingdom of Bhutan's Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) in launching the sovereign gold-backed token TER, which is currently operational on Solana. By simultaneously advancing its own institutional-grade product XAUm and sovereign-level projects like TER, Matrixdock is gradually establishing an infrastructure-oriented position spanning both public and private sectors in the field of real-world asset tokenization.
Solana's growing institutional participation, mature liquidity foundation, and active developer community highly align with Matrixdock's strategic goal of positioning tokenized gold as a reserve layer asset supporting on-chain financial markets.
About Matrixdock
Matrixdock is the RWA platform under Matrixport, dedicated to providing the market with high-quality access to real-world assets through tokenization technology. Matrixdock was the first platform in Asia to launch a tokenized short-term U.S. Treasury product, STBT, and introduced the gold token XAUm in 2024. In 2025, Matrixdock participated in architecting the Kingdom of Bhutan's sovereign gold token TER, continuously promoting the application of tokenized assets in real finance and public systems.
