DGLD Update | Redeem Your DGLD — Digital Gold Tokens — for Physical Gold - Now Available in Switzerland and Europe
We’re excited to share an important update: DGLD holders can now redeem their tokens for physical gold through our trusted partners at Gold Avenue. This new redemption option provides a seamless way to access the underlying asset — securely stored, LBMA-certified gold in Switzerland — directly across Europe.
Since DGLD’s launch in 2019, we’ve delivered a reliable and transparent way to invest in digital gold, with each token backed 1:1 by one troy ounce of physical gold held in high-security, insured Swiss vaults. And that core principle hasn’t changed: your DGLD remains fully backed, fully verifiable, and fully redeemable.
The Evolving Regulatory Landscape
As part of Europe’s evolving regulatory framework, the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation has introduced new requirements for asset-referenced tokens (ARTs), including capital, governance, and disclosure obligations.
In light of these changes, DGLD is currently not available for trading on European exchanges — including a previously announced listing on Bitstamp — and issuance of new tokens for the European market has been paused. We’re actively evaluating what this means for future availability and will share further updates as the regulatory path becomes clearer.
What This Means for You
Despite these changes, DGLD remains what it has always been: a digital representation of allocated, physical gold. Here’s what you should know:
➤ Your Gold Is Safe: Each DGLD token continues to be backed by one troy ounce of physical gold stored in Switzerland. This backing remains unchanged.
➤ Transparent Ownership: Our industry-leading Proof of Reserve (PoR) system ensures full visibility into the specific gold bar each token co-owns.
➤ Physical Redemptions Now Available: You can now redeem your DGLD for physical gold through Gold Avenue or by contacting us directly at [email protected].
Please note: We recommend caution interacting with decentralized exchanges or liquidity pools. These venues may have low liquidity and unpredictable pricing, which could lead to slippage and unfavorable execution.
Looking Ahead
This marks a new chapter for DGLD — one focused on bridging the digital and physical worlds in a way that puts control directly in your hands. We’re committed to maintaining the transparency, security, and gold-backed integrity DGLD was built on.
More updates are coming soon as we explore new opportunities and partnerships to serve both existing and future token holders.
