Matrixdock, a platform for tokenized real-world assets (RWA), has announce a strategic partnership with Brinks, a company offering secure logistics and asset protection. This partnership ensures the secure transportation and vaulting of LBMA-certified gold, which underpins Matrixdock’s recently launched XAUm token, with a focus on vaults located in Singapore and Hong Kong.
XAUm, an ERC-20 token fully backed by physical gold, offers investors a trusted and transparent digital asset tied to London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) accredited gold. The partnership with Brinks guarantees that the gold reserves backing XAUm are securely held in high-security, fully insured vaults in Singapore and Hong Kong, enhancing the credibility and security of the token for investors across the globe, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
“Brinks’ reputation for excellence in secure logistics, combined with the strategic location of vaults in Singapore and Hong Kong, provides unparalleled security and confidence for our XAUm investors,” said Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock.
Zac McKenna, Head of Digital Assets at Brinks, emphasized the importance of secure custody solutions in the growing RWA tokenization space: “At Brinks, we are proud to support the tokenization of real-world assets by providing the secure infrastructure that makes these digital products credible and reliable. Our collaboration with Matrixdock enables us to bring our extensive expertise in secure logistics to the forefront of the blockchain ecosystem.”
Brinks will ensure that the LBMA gold backing XAUm is safely transported, stored, and protected in its world-class vaults. Ben Van Kerkwijk, Vice President of Brinks’ Global Services – Asia Pacific, added: “Our premier vaulting facilities in Singapore and Hong Kong are trusted by top-tier clients around the world. We are pleased to provide the same world-class protection for the physical gold that backs Matrixdock’s XAUm token, further enhancing the security and trust for investors in the region.”
