Plume, the pioneering blockchain and ecosystem specifically designed for Real World Asset Finance (RWAfi), has announced that it will be integrating Matrixdock’s tokenized gold token, XAUm. This integration not only enhances Plume’s composability but also provides users with a reliable and accessible way to invest in gold.

The Benefits of Tokenized Gold

Gold has long been a cornerstone asset in investment portfolios, providing a hedge against inflation and a portfolio diversifier. However, traditional gold markets present several challenges, including high entry barriers, custody requirements, and limited accessibility. By tokenizing gold, investors can benefit from verifiable reserves, efficient settlement, and continuous global access without sacrificing the underlying asset’s stability.

Key Features of XAUm

• XAUm is 100% backed by LBMA-accredited investment-grade gold, sourced through a robust refiner network and stored in world-class vaults.
• Every token is verifiable in real-time, providing users with confidence, clarity, and control.
• XAUm offers full transparency and auditability while maintaining the security of physical gold backing.

Enhancing Plume’s Composability

The integration of XAUm into Plume’s ecosystem allows gold to function as a programmable financial primitive across the entire RWAfi ecosystem. This enables traders on Plume to rotate from alternative assets directly into gold as a safe haven asset, instead of relying on stablecoins or Bitcoin.

Benefits for Users

• Users will be able to use XAUm across Plume to seamlessly interact with other tokenized assets.
• XAUm provides a refuge from volatility, allowing users to rotate from alternative assets into gold as a safe haven.

Quote from the CEO of Plume

“Gold has not only proven its value throughout economic cycles, but is now reaching historic price levels as global interest surges,” said Chris Yin, CEO & Co-Founder at Plume. “Despite this renewed attention, gold’s potential as a yield-generating asset remains largely untapped. Providing access to XAUm in our ecosystem will create new avenues of real yield for gold, enhancing the diversity of our ecosystem.”

Quote from the Head of Matrixdock

“At Matrixdock, our mission is to redefine gold ownership for the modern era by making it fully transparent, accessible, and on-chain. We’re proud to be a leading gold project on Plume, as we believe the future of gold lies in combining traditional asset quality with digital infrastructure. XAUm is 100% backed by LBMA-accredited investment-grade gold, sourced through our robust refiner network and stored in world-class vaults. Unlike traditional gold products, every token is verifiable in real-time—giving users confidence, clarity, and control like never before.”
