Matrixport, in collaboration with the HKUST Institute for Financial Research, has released a joint report titled “Tokenized Gold: Redefining Financial Infrastructure for the World’s Oldest and Most Trusted Asset Class.” Co-authored by Bo Tang (HKUST) and Eva Meng (Matrixdock), the study explores how gold tokenisation can address inefficiencies in global financial systems, enhance cross-border payments, and bridge gaps between traditional assets and blockchain. The report highlights tokenized gold’s potential to bring transparency, liquidity, and broader use cases to the gold industry, positioning it as a scalable real-world asset (RWA) for next-generation DeFi. It argues that gold tokens could evolve into core collateral, a neutral settlement medium, and even a digital reserve asset for emerging economies. Both Matrixport and HKUST plan to continue producing research, case studies, and insights to advance RWA tokenisation and integrate it into traditional finance.
