OCBC, together with Lion Global Investors and DigiFT, has launched Southeast Asia’s first on-chain tokenized physical gold fund — the OCBC-LionGlobal Physical Gold Fund Token (GOLDX).
Announced on April 20, 2026, GOLDX provides institutional and corporate accredited investors with regulated on-chain exposure to the LionGlobal Singapore Physical Gold Fund (AUM ~$525 million as of mid-April). The token is issued on both Ethereum and Solana, allowing subscription and redemption using stablecoins or fiat directly into investors’ wallets.
Mr. Kenneth Lai, Head of Global Markets at OCBC, stated this launch is part of the bank’s “The Next Frontier” strategy to bridge traditional finance and blockchain.
This marks a major milestone for RWA (Real World Assets) in Southeast Asia, bringing physical gold liquidity on public blockchains.
