MKS PAMP S.A., part of MKS PAMP GROUP and a global leader in precious metals, announced it has acquired full ownership of Gold Token S.A., marking a significant step in its strategy to lead the next wave of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization.
With this acquisition, Gold Token joins Group’s global ecosystem, combining trusted bullion infrastructure, institutional networks, and distribution capabilities with the transformative power of blockchain to accelerate adoption of real-world asset tokenization.
The Gold Standard for Tokenized Real-World Assets
Gold Token has created one of the first physically backed gold tokens, DGLD, built to enable users to hold ownership of allocated, physical gold via a digital token that is fully auditable, securely vaulted in Switzerland, and transferable across blockchain networks. The token is already live on Ethereum, and under MKS PAMP’s full stewardship will now be re-launched with expanded utility, institutional-grade compliance, and multi-chain operability to support broader access and adoption. In the next phase, the initiative will extend beyond gold to include additional precious metals.
With a global trading desk, a broad network of institutional clients, and production capabilities behind its world-renowned bullion products, MKS PAMP is uniquely positioned to support the liquidity, accessibility, and credibility required to scale this next-generation RWA.
“Bringing physical gold on-chain is no longer a proof of concept. It’s a necessity for the future of global finance. With this acquisition, MKS PAMP is doubling down on the opportunity to tokenize Real World Assets by offering an unmatched combination of physical trust and digital access. We’re uniquely positioned to deliver the gold standard in tokenized assets: secure, liquid, and truly global, supported by our institutional trading and custody capabilities and our deep relationships across precious metals markets,” said James Emmett, CEO of MKS PAMP.
“Gold has long stood as a trusted store of value, and tokenized gold now carries that legacy into the digital age. With the re-launch of DGLD which is under preparation, we aim to bring reliability and transparency to institutions and individuals, starting most likely in the decentralized arena. Positioned as a high-quality real-world asset for collateral, settlement, and potential yield use cases, Gold Token seeks to bridge timeless value with the evolving future of finance,” added Kurt Hemecker, CEO of Gold Token.
Fueling the Future of RWA with Gold
This relaunch comes at a time when institutional and retail interest in real-world asset tokenization is accelerating. By enabling physical gold to exist natively in blockchain environments, the offering unlocks powerful use cases across collateralized lending, cross-border payments, DeFi liquidity, and regulated financial infrastructure.
Backed by one of the most trusted names in the precious metals industry, the token is positioned to become a cornerstone of the growing RWA ecosystem. It marries the stability and trust of physical gold with the flexibility, transparency, and composability of blockchain networks.
Gold Token is currently inviting Web3 ecosystem partners to collaborate on enabling the token across multiple blockchain platforms, expanding access and interoperability for tokenized precious metals. For partnership opportunities, please contact partner@gtsa.io.
