How Ubuntu Tribe Is Bringing Gold Into the Digital Asset Era

Tokenized gold has become a major growth driver in real-world assets. In 2025, tokenized gold market capitalizationrose177%, from about $1.6 billion to $4.4 billion, and represented roughly 25% of net inflows across the RWA sector. Tokenized gold trading volume reached about $178 billion, as demand rises for verifiable, asset-backed instruments that can move across digital rails.

For asset managers and wealth platforms, that scale elevates auditability, custody standards, and redemption clarity from product features to due diligence requirements.

Gold is one of the most widely trusted stores of value, yet buying it has never been simple. High minimums, complicated custody arrangements, and cross-border friction have kept smaller investors out for decades. Ubuntu Tribe removes those barriers: ownership starts at milligram units, and the physical gold behind each holding sits in insured, audited vaults in major global locations.

GIFT Gold, its flagship product, allows fractional ownership at low denominations. GIFT (Gold International Fungible Token) is a digital certificate of ownership backed 1:1 by physical gold — one token equals one milligram. The gold is held in insured, audited vaults in Zurich, Copenhagen, Dubai, and Stuttgart, and meets the LBMA standard at 999.5 purity.

As tokenized gold matures, buyers are filtering products by what can actually be verified: audited reserves, transparent custody chains, and redemption terms they can enforce. GIFT Gold holders can redeem tokens for physical gold starting at 10 grams, with insured delivery handled through established logistics partners.
