INVESTMENT- <\/p>\n

Digital assets exchange application <\/strong>Fasset<\/a><\/strong> has introduced a fractional digital gold<\/strong> solution to allow UAE investors to invest in gold starting as low as USD 1<\/strong>, the company\u2019s co-founder and COO Daniel Ahmed told Khaleej Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n

How it works:<\/strong> Each ORO token that investors can buy is backed by 1 ounce of 99.99% fine gold, verified through monthly third-party audits, and securely stored with insured, blue-chip custodians like Brinks. Tokens can be redeemed for physical gold starting at USD 85 or exchanged for USD, with a one-day lock-in period for redemption. Staking options offer a forecasted annual yield of 3-4%, with lock-in periods varying by pool. <\/p>\n

The game plan: <\/strong>The company plans to tokenize USD 1 bn worth of yield-bearing gold in the first year, with early access for investors expected in 1Q 2025.<\/p>\n

REFRESHER- <\/strong>Fasset debuted in the UAE earlier in April<\/a> after receiving a Virtual Asset Service Provider license from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority. Beyond crypto exchange, Fasset said it will offer tokenized commodities, stablecoins, and soon will venture into tokenized US equities, sukuk, and real estate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
